Gas and electric companies realize that the cost to run and heat your home varies from season to season. Often, your gas bill is much higher in the winter than in the summer. In an attempt to help customers manage their bills, they offer a budget plan.

This plan is set up to make monthly payments more equal all year round, based on a 12-month plan.At the end of the twelve months, your account will be audited and you will be credited if you paid for more energy or gas than you actually used. Conversely, your account will be charged if you ended up using more energy or gas than you paid for - which is often the case.

Different companies have different policies, but usually if you are continuing service, the amount owed at the end of the first 12-month period can be rolled into a new budget plan. If you are canceling service, you will be expected to pay the amount in full.

At Farmers we realize that your belongings are just as

important as a homeowner's belongings. Our renters

policy provides coverage for your household contents

and personal belongings. Furthermore, in the event

someone is injured at your place, you could be held

legally liable for the injury. Our renters policy provides

personal liability coverage should this ever occur. As a

Farmers customer you have access to HelpPoint, a

unique claims service that has been recognized by JD

Power three years in a row for providing an "outstand-

ing customer service experience." You can call Help-

Point® for immediate assistance, 24/7, free of charge.

Best of all, you get a Farmers agent who can answer

your questions about the policy and its coverages, dis-

counts you may qualify for and deductibles you may

choose. Most importantly, your Farmers agent can help

you choose the coverage you want with flexible pay-

ment terms you can live with.

Frequently Asked Questions

homesforrentinmobile.com is owned and operated by O.R.E. Property Management, LLC

How much will it cost to use your service?Nothing. Seriously.

So how do you make money?Area landlords pay us a fee for helping them find qualified tenants like you.

When should I start looking?We suggest beginning your search roughly 45 days prior to your move-in date. This will give you time to view a se-lection of the best rentals available on the market. But should you need an one ASAP, we can find you a great place in no time too.

What do I need to bring with me when looking at rentals?You will need a photo ID. We also recommend bringing a camera and a note pad. You’ll be looking at a number of places, so it’s helpful to compare notes and pictures.

What form of payment can I use for my first month’s rent and security deposit?We accept the following types of payment:• Master Card • Personal Check• Visa • Cash• American Express • Certified Funds• Discover • Debit Card

What if I have no credit or challenged credit history?You wouldn’t be the first. We are accustomed to working with each client’s different needs and will do our best to help you out.

How much will my security deposit be?This depends on your landlord. On average, most land-lords ask for a one-month security deposit.

So what exactly happens when I sign my lease?After you are approved, you’ll get a call from our Processing Department. Depending on the owner or management company, you’ll come to our office or their location to sign your lease. This is also when you’ll need to pay your security deposit and make arrangements to get your keys.

Do I need renter’s insurance?Most landlords will require you to secure renter’s insur-ance. Even if yours doesn’t, we definitely think it’s a good idea. Most renter’s insurance plans cost less than $30 a month and will protect all of your personal belongings. Better safe than sorry :)
