FirstKey Homes Roommate & Leaseholder Change: What to Check

New residents must apply

FirstKey’s current renewal guidance says a new resident added to the lease must submit an application and pay the applicable application fee. The application supports screening and other occupancy requirements. Use the amount shown in the actual application workflow rather than assuming a universal fee from another property or date.

Removing a resident has a timing restriction

The current FirstKey guidance says residents may not be removed from the lease until the lease expires. If the account is in good standing, the process of updating resident information can begin after the renewal offer is received.

The final renewal document matters

A submitted request does not by itself prove that household composition has changed. Keep the executed renewal lease showing who is actually a resident or leaseholder for the new term.

Questions to verify

• Did the new adult complete screening?
• What application fee was displayed and paid?
• Was the account eligible for the requested change?
• Does the signed renewal list the correct residents?
• Did insurance or occupancy requirements change with the new household?
