Move in. We begin preparing the home once your lease is signed, and we confirm your move-in date in writing.
You do this 2 weeksA delay in payment or signing moves your move-in date back by the same amount of time.
Need to move in sooner?
Contact our office to discuss priority move-in pricing. Earlier dates depend on the home’s readiness.
Weekend move-ins
Move-ins are scheduled Monday through Friday. A weekend move-in may be arranged and is considered a priority move-in. Contact our office to discuss priority move-in pricing.
Move-in funds
All move-in funds must be paid and confirmed before key access is released. Move-in funds include your first month’s rent, pet fee and pet rent if applicable, and your monthly Resident Benefits Package charge.
Pay through AppFolio
Make your payment through AppFolio in your tenant portal. This payment can be made up to and including your move-in date.
Tenant PortalOffice drop slot
If you prefer not to pay online, bring a cashier’s check or money order to our office drop slot by 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday, on the business day before your move-in date. Take a photo of your payment before you drop it off.
Let’s get those keys.
Key access is provided between 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM on your move-in date. You will receive a text from our office with your access instructions.
Because access begins midday, rent begins the following day.
Renters insurance
Liability insurance is required for every MRE home. You have two options.
Your own policy
MRE Property Management must be listed as Additional Insured. Send your proof of coverage to our office before your move-in date. With qualifying coverage, your monthly Resident Benefits Package charge is reduced by $10.95.
Resident Benefits Package coverage
If we do not receive proof of your own policy by the end of business on your move-in date, you will be automatically enrolled in the coverage included with the Resident Benefits Package. You may switch to your own policy at any time by providing proof of coverage.
What we accept
- MRE Property Management listed as Additional Insured
- A policy active on or before your move-in date
- The policy’s declarations page as proof of coverage
What we do not accept
- MRE listed only as “Additional Interest” or “Interested Party,” which only notifies us if your policy lapses and does not meet the lease requirement
- An insurance quote or application in place of an active policy
Helpful tip: when you call your insurance company, ask specifically for “Additional Insured.” Not every company offers it on renters policies, so confirm before you purchase.
Connect your utilities.
All utilities must be connected in your name effective on your move-in date. Use our utility setup service, Utility Profit, to schedule electricity, water and internet in one place.
Some water providers require a copy of your signed lease, so request service as soon as your lease is fully signed.
Utilities not connected in your name on your move-in date are subject to an administrative fee per utility, as outlined in your lease.
Your first week
Move-in inspection
Everyone moving into the home can work together to complete the digital move-in inspection. Please complete it within 7 days of move-in. It becomes the record your move-out inspection is compared against.
If you do not receive the invitation, email info@mredfw.com or call (817) 500-5265.
If you withdraw after approval
If you decide not to move forward after you are approved and before the lease is signed, your security deposit will be refunded. The application fee and the $100 administrative fee are non-refundable. Once the lease is signed, its terms govern any cancellation.
Settle in with confidence.
We are excited to welcome you to MRE. Our office is here to help every step of the way.
