How to rent a home with Friendly, from first look to move-in
October 4, 2026 · Friendly Property Management
Renting a home should not be confusing. Here is how it works with us, step by step.
1. Find a home
Every home we have available is on our rentals page, and it updates through the day as homes come on and off the market. You can filter by city, bedrooms, and rent. Each home has its own page with photos, the rent, the deposit, the pet policy, and what is included.
If nothing fits right now, sign up for rental alerts. Tell us the area, size, and budget you want, and we will let you know when a match comes up.
2. See it in person
On each home's page, tap "Schedule a showing" to pick a time. If a home is not ready for showings yet, you can join its wait list from the same button. Have a question first? Use "Ask about this home" on the page and we will answer it.
3. Apply online
When you find the one, tap "Apply" on the home's page. The application is online, and the application fee is listed with each home's rental terms. Every adult who will live in the home applies.
It helps to have these ready before you start:
- A photo ID
- Proof of income, such as recent pay stubs
- Contact details for your current landlord
4. Sign and get set up
Once you are approved, you sign your lease online. Then set up the resident app, FolioSpace, which is where you will pay rent, request repairs, and message us. Before move-in day, start your utilities so the power and water are on when you arrive.
After you move in
Our resident help page covers paying rent, repair requests, and what to do in an emergency. If you ever get stuck, call us at (336) 270-9185.
