Property management & real estate in Indianapolis and Central Indiana
Understanding what to expect from showing to move-in.
Finding the right home is an exciting step, and understanding the leasing process beforehand helps create a smoother experience for everyone involved.
Our leasing process is designed to be organized, transparent, and efficient. The steps below will guide you from your initial showing through lease signing and preparation for move-in.
Browse our available properties on our Find a Home page to find a property that best fits your needs, budget, and desired location.
Once you’ve found a home you’re interested in, schedule a self-guided showing to determine whether it’s the right fit for your household.
EVERGROW requires that at least one applicant view the property before a lease agreement will be executed. Viewing the property beforehand helps ensure applicants understand the home’s condition, layout, features, and location before making a leasing commitment.
When you’re ready to move forward, complete your rental application through Findigs, our independent application and resident screening platform.
Before applying, we encourage you to review our Application & Qualification Standards so you understand how applications are evaluated and what documentation may be required.
Once submitted, your application will be reviewed using our published qualification standards.
During this process, identity, income, credit, criminal background, and rental history may be verified. Additional documentation may be requested when necessary to complete the review.
After the review is complete, you’ll be notified of the application decision.
If approved, you’ll receive instructions for completing the next steps, including your security deposit requirements. EVERGROW works with Obligo to provide eligible residents with a security deposit alternative, when available.
Once your security deposit requirements have been satisfied, we’ll begin preparing your lease agreement. If your application cannot be approved, you’ll receive any notices required by applicable law.
Once your required security deposit has been received, we’ll prepare your lease agreement and send it electronically for review and signature.
Your lease agreement contains the terms of your tenancy, including your rent, lease term, responsibilities, policies, and other important information related to your home. We encourage you to review the agreement carefully before signing and contact our team with any questions.
Once all required parties have signed the lease agreement, the property will be removed from the market and reserved exclusively for your tenancy.
Following lease execution, you’ll receive an invitation to activate your Resident Portal, where you’ll complete the remaining move-in requirements before taking possession of your new home.
Once your lease has been fully executed and all required move-in requirements have been completed, our team will finalize preparations for your scheduled move-in.
Before taking possession of the property, we encourage you to review our Preparing for Your Move-In page. There you’ll find important information about security deposit options, renters insurance, utility setup, your Resident Portal, move-in documentation, key release, and what to expect on move-in day.
