Your security deposit will be held with Rentable's partner bank and information will be provided in the Rentable Platform. If you have specific questions, please reach out via email to support@rentable.com or by calling 508-251-9247.
Rentable is a platform that allows residents to make their security deposits directly online in minutes. The simple to use platform allows for residents to get transparency over security deposit throughout their entire lease.
Rentable enables a more transparent experience for security deposits, residents are able to track their payments, identify where the funds are being held and earn interest on their security deposits.
Rentable also offers flexible payment plans for residents who are eligible. This allows them to spread their security deposit over time, making it cheaper and easier to move in.
At the end of the lease, residents will receive their security deposit refund significantly faster and directly to their preferred method of payment.
'Fees associated with your payment through Rentable:'
ACH Payments: 3% of the security deposit capped at $39 dollars for security deposit management fee, where residents can track their payments, earn interest and receive their deposits faster at the end of the lease
Credit Card payments are 4% of the security deposit, uncapped
Alternatively, June Homes offers you the option to pay to June Homes directly with a convenience fee for the transfer of your deposit to Rentable of $25 (additional to the transaction fees applicable from the payment processor).
Please inform our accounting team through accounting@junrehomes.com if you wish to proceed with this option.
How will I be charged for my last month of stay at June Homes if I’m not staying a full month?
How will I be charged for my last month of stay at June Homes if I’m not staying a full month?
All rents are prorated for your last month of your stay if you are not staying for the full month. You would only need to pay for the number of days that you've reserved. For example: if your reservation ends on August 19th, we will prorate your August rent and charge you only for 19 days in that month (E.g.: Monthly rent is $1,000 / 31 days in August = $32.2 per day and multiply the daily rate by the number of days in the unit x 19 days = $612.9 per month). If your lease end date (move out date) is on the 1st (e.g. you are moving out on 10/1/24) you will still need to pay for that one last day. Similar prorated calculations would be applied to your other fees paid to June Homes such as Membership fee. Please note that your total stay reservation at June Homes should be no less than 30 days.

Why do I need good credit?
Why do I need good credit?
Your credit score is a three-digit number representing your "creditworthiness" - it's like a grade that assesses your ability to repay debt. Banks and other financial institutions use your credit score to determine whether or not they feel confident lending money to you. Scores can range anywhere from 300 to 850, and the higher your score is, the more likely you will qualify for financial products at lower interest rates.
In the United States, credit is your lifeline to the financial system. Having good credit makes it easier to achieve important milestones, like renting an apartment, refinancing student loans, buying a car, or getting a mortgage for your first home. Conversely, having bad credit or no credit makes all those things harder.

What bills am I responsible for?
What bills am I responsible for?

How does this process work?
How does this process work?
June Homes manages your utility accounts and we pay the providers directly for any bills that are issued. Then, we look at the occupancy in your home for the duration of the billing period and divide the bill among tenants, based on each tenant’s move-in/out dates, all as permitted by law.
When will the bills be issued to me?
When will the bills be issued to me?
Utility companies bill in “arrears”. This means that you will receive your bill after your actual usage dates.
For example: If your billing period for gas is March 1- March 31, the gas provider will read the gas meter on March 31 and then they will generate an invoice and send the invoice to June Homes. June Homes will do all the math and charge each tenant through their payment portals.
This process may take a few days, so you may not receive the charge until later in April.
When are these bills due?

Will my bills be prorated based on my move-in/out dates?
Will my bills be prorated based on my move-in/out dates?
Yes! Your bills will be prorated according to the move-in/out dates on your signed lease. Tenants are responsible for utility usage throughout the active lease term regardless if they’re factually present in the unit.
For example: If you move-in later than your signed lease or move-out earlier than your signed move-out date, you will still be responsible for your share of bills based on the dates on your lease.
Please be informed that utilities are billed back, therefore you shall expect additional bills to be added to your account after you have vacated the apartment, according to when each service bill is generated by our utility providers and the billing period that covers your last days with June Homes. If you have paid a deposit with your upfront costs, this amount will be deducted from your deposit for your convenience, to avoid transaction fees on your end. If the actual bills exceed the estimate that was withheld, we will need the remaining balance to be settled. Of course if the actual bills are less than the estimate balance, we will proceed with refunding the remainder of your deposit.
