We understand, here at Blue Key Property Management, that when you find a property you really like, you want to hold it. In order to hold the property for you, we require the following:

1. Submit an application
2. Pay the application fee
3. Pay the security deposit
4. Review and sign a contingent lease

The contingency lease is a binding contract that legally obligates you to the property unless your application is denied. You will have three (3) business days to provide all documentation and we have three (3) business days to let you know if you are approved or not. Rent is considered late if not received by the 5th day of the month. Late fees will be detailed in your lease. If you are going to be late, please contact us immediately.

You should immediately call our 24 hour emergency line at 360-952-3779 for property emergencies that include active water flooding or anything that you believe could be dangerous to your health that can't wait until the following business day. Tenants are responsible for maintaining furnace filters, smoke detector batteries, light bulbs and the yard. Please refer to your individual lease agreement. You can pay rent online for free through your tenant portal if you pay using an echeck. Credit and debit cards are accepted through your tenant portal, but a 3rd party outside of Blue Key will charge a service fee.
