Frequently asked questions about SECU*RE
No, SECU*RE does not charge an application fee.
No, each applicant age 18 and over must complete a separate application. However, only the spouse who will be financially responsible for the lease needs to complete the entire application.
No, SECU*RE does not accept HUD (Section 8) Housing Vouchers.
No, SECU*RE does not lease properties on any type of rent-to-own program. A lease agreement will entitle the tenant(s) to possession of the property (provided the tenant(s) is not in default for any reason) for the term of the lease; however, the lease will not transfer any ownership interest in the property to the tenant(s). However, if you would like to purchase a unit, please contact SECU*RE.
Generally, the tenant is responsible for all lawn care, whether performed by the tenant or by a lawn care company hired at the tenant’s expense. Exceptions will be noted in the lease.
The tenant is responsible for all utility charges (unless an exception applies, which will be noted in the lease). Unless otherwise stated in the lease agreement (or an attached addendum), utilities must be transferred into the tenant’s name to correspond with the lease start date. Any utility accounts that are not transferred into the tenant’s name within three days of the lease start date will result in charges incurred by SECU*RE being billed back to the tenant, as well as any additional fees that may also apply.
Home Owner’s Association (HOA) and/or municipal fines or assessments caused by tenant non-compliance with association rules and regulations (Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions; CC&R) or city/town ordinances are the sole responsibility of the tenant. Tenant failure to pay such fines and assessments will be grounds for default of the lease and can result in lease termination.
Yes, a maximum of two pets may be permitted in SECU*RE properties. Pets may be domestic dogs or cats only. No aggressive breeds, such as: Pitbull (any type), Doberman Pinscher, German Shepard, Rottweiler, Mastiff, Husky, Akita, Chow, wolf-hybrids, or any similar-type breeds are permitted. No animals, regardless of breed or type, with a history of aggressive behavior, fighting, excessive barking or property damage, or previous bites to humans or other animals are permitted. A weight limit of one hundred (100) pounds per animal applies. The tenant is responsible for any damages and/or injuries to other persons or animals caused by pets. A non-refundable pet fee of $400 will be due upon lease signing. This fee is the same regardless of whether there are one or two pets. Please see the lease agreement pet addendum for additional important information regarding pets.
No, any insurance coverage held by SECU*RE does not include any coverage for a tenant’s belongings. While SECU*RE does not require renter’s insurance, we strongly recommend that all tenants purchase renter’s insurance (and flood insurance if in a flood zone) to cover any personal property losses. Tenant liability coverage is also recommended, especially if pets are present. SECU members may request a quote for renter’s insurance2 at any branch or contact any insurer licensed to issue renter's insurance policies in North Carolina.
