Congratulations! You are part of a selected list of Remor Homes clients. You will receive an email with the approval confirmation and instructions to create your Remor Homes Portal account.

You should proceed with signing the contract, pay the security deposit, new lease fee and other applicable fees. See Rental Requirements Page for details.

Your move move-in date was provided in your application, if a change is required please contact us to adjust. Be aware of the limits for allowed time to provide the security deposit and possible adjustments of the move in date. See Rental Requirements Page for details.

What is the move-in hold bill and what does it include?

After your rental application is approved (and the application fee is paid), Remor Homes sends a move-in hold invoice. This is the first consolidated payment to reserve the home before you receive keys. It is separate from the application fee and is due within 1 business day after approval, together with lease signing. See the Rental Requirements Page for deadlines and certified-funds rules.

The move-in hold invoice may include:

  • Security deposit — typically one month of rent (the landlord may require more in some cases).
  • Partial first-month rent — prorated rent (and HOA/lawn charges, if applicable) from your approved move-in date through the last day of that calendar month.
  • Full month rent in advance — only in the situation described below; covers the entire next calendar month so you are not billed twice for the same period.
  • New lease administration fee — $100.00 at move-in.
  • Pet fees — first-month pet rent ($30.00 per approved pet per month, when applicable) and pet application fees ($200.00 per pet, when applicable). If a full advance month of rent is on the hold, pet rent for that same month may also be included.
  • Bank/processing fee — if you pay online, a pass-through fee for the payment method may appear on the invoice.

How partial rent and “month in advance” work together

Every move-in hold includes partial rent for the days you will occupy the home in your move-in month (from your move-in date through the end of that month). The amount is based on the monthly rent (and HOA/lawn, if applicable) divided by the number of days in that month, times the number of days you will live there.

A full month of rent in advance is added only when both of the following are true:

  1. Your approved move-in date is after the 15th day of the month, and
  2. At the time the hold invoice is created, Remor Homes has already started the billing cycle for the next calendar month — meaning we are within 10 days before the first day of that next month (when regular monthly rent bills are normally issued).

Example: If you move in on June 30, partial rent covers June 30 only. Because June 30 is after the 15th and July’s monthly billing cycle has already started, the hold invoice also includes full July rent (and July pet fees, if applicable). You would not receive a separate July rent bill later for that same month.

If you move in on or before the 15th of the month, the hold invoice includes partial rent for that month only; your next full monthly rent bill will be issued later under the normal schedule (rent due on the 1st; see “When is the rent due?” below).

Months already paid on the move-in hold are not billed again on a separate monthly invoice. For a line-by-line total, refer to the invoice in your Remor Homes Portal account or contact us before paying.
