Frequently Asked Questions
The following list answers some of the common questions we hear from
prospective tenants. If you don’t find the answer to your question below, please
contact us at 309-698-8280 or
email us.
Q: Does Clark Properties accept Section 8
vouchers?
A: Yes. We accept Section 8 vouchers offered
through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Q: What is the amount of your security deposit?
A: Our security deposit varies by property, but is most typically the equivalent
of one month’s rent. The security deposit is due when the lease is signed.
Q: What is the process for becoming a tenant?
A: First, we strongly suggest you use this site to determine which property is
aligned with your needs as far as location, number of rooms, etc. Then you’ll
need to complete the Rental
Application Form. After we receive your application, and assuming you
meet our core requirements, we’ll move to the next phase where we reserve the
right to perform a credit check, proof of income verification and a reference
check. If all of those requirements are met, we’ll then meet to sign the lease
and turn over the keys. At lease signing, you’ll be required to provide the
first month’s rent, as well as any/all deposits required, including security and
pet. We encourage you to review in advance the
Lease Agreement and
Rules and Regulations early in
the process. Essentially, if you are unwilling or unable to meet the terms in
those documents, we won’t have a match.
Q: Do you allow pets?
A: It depends on the type of pet and the home being considered. In all
instances, Clark Properties must approve the pet
prior to the tenant assuming possession of the property. For pets to be
considered, the prospective tenant must complete
the
Pet Application/Agreement and
provide a pet deposit above and beyond the security deposit. The pet deposit
varies depending on the type, size and number of pets being considered. Note
that we do reserve the right to limit the number of pets depending on the size
of the home.
Q: Does Clark Properties offer short-term lease agreements?
A: No. Our minimum lease term is one year.
Q: Do we need to put the utilities in our name? How do we do it?
A: Yes, you will need to ensure the utilities are in your name upon possession
of the property. Ultimately, you and you alone are responsible for all utility
charges, including gas, electric, water and cable/satellite. The
Renters Resources section
of our website provides contact information for utility companies in the Peoria
area. Note that most utility providers will require you to fill out an
application and sometimes provide a deposit.
Q: Do we need to mow our own lawn and shovel snow?
A: Yes, if you rent a home from Clark Properties, you will be responsible for
ALL yard maintenance and snow removal. If you rent an apartment, Clark
Properties will take care of these maintenance activities.
Q: Do you require renters insurance?
A: No, but we highly recommend it. Our insurance will not cover your personal
property, i.e., clothes, furniture, small appliances.
Q: Does Clark Properties offer any vacation rentals?
A: Yes, we have two vacation rental opportunities: A one-bedroom condo in Osage
Beach, Missouri, and a three-bedroom cabin in Park Rapids, Minnesota. To find
out more about these units, please contact us at
