ALE Solutions temporary housing

[Kumar Je]

I was approached by ALE solutions to rent out my home for 25% more rent per month, they can only do a 6 month lease with the option to do a month-to-month extension after that.

Are they legit?

I have read some horrible things about them on other forums.

Appreciate any help!

Here is the list of questions they have sent me. None of them are alarming...

Any guidance here?

Is the home furnished?

# of bedrooms?

# of bathrooms?

Is there a family room or other bonus room?

How many square feet (approximate)

Will you accept our company checks for move in funds and the rent?

Will you send us a W-9 (if no, we cannot proceed with your property)

Your contact information (name, phone, email)

Is renter’s insurance required or preferred?

Does this rental have central air conditioning?

If there is no central air, will you provide window units for a fee, and how many?

If there is no A/C and you are unable to provide window units, how many would be needed to cool the unit?

What kind of parking (garage, assigned, open, etc)?

Are there blinds or any other window coverings on the windows?

If not, will you install for an additional fee?

What appliances are included (microwave, fridge, stove, washer and dryer)?

If the washer and dryer is NOT included, is it the dryer gas or electric hook ups?

Are utilities included (if “YES”, what’s the estimated cost per month)?

Is lawncare/snow removal included in the rent price (if “NO” and there is an additional cost, how much)?

How much would the monthly rent be for this lease term? $

Any other one-time non-refundable fees?

First available move in date?

Does the lease need to end on a specific day of the month (what day of the month)?

Do we have the option to extend month-to-month at the same rate once lease expires?

Is a 30 day notice to vacate at the end of the lease okay?

Who do we make checks payable to and where would we Fed Ex move in funds? (No P.O. Boxes please)
