Leasing for 2025-26 starts:  Friday, October 4th @ 1pm



Please read the information below regarding how our 1st day works.


CLICK HERE for the required document you must bring to the 1st day of leasing.



**Only 1 person ("Group Representative") per group will be permitted on the 1st day of leasing**
**Groups caught entering more than 1 group member in a drawing will be disqualified from participating in the 1st day of leasing**


Location
  • Do not camp out. There's no advantage for being first to arrive.  If you have questions, you may arrive 30 minutes early.
  • Parking at our office will not be allowed.  You may park on Kedzie, Durand or other side streets, however, spots are limited.  You may want to get dropped off or walk.
  • Drawings will take place outside, rain or shine, please dress accordingly.


Process​
  • Starting at 1pm, we will announce each property, 1 at a time, starting with the 1st property on the Available Housing list
  • Interested groups will step forward.
  • If multiple groups are interested in a property a drawing will be done. (If only 1 group is interested there will be no drawing). 
  • Groups will be separated by cones & the winner will be chosen randomly right then.
  • If you do not win, you may enter multiple drawings, however, if you win a drawing, you will not be allowed to enter another drawing.
  • Once you win, we will collect your information sheet (please fill out in advance) and a lease will be emailed to you within 24-48 hours.
  • Duplexes will be offered to groups renting both sides first, then to groups wanting one side. 
  • There is no application fee or parental co-signer required.
  • If you don't get a property, we recommend you stay until the end of the drawing (usually takes ~an hour & a half) and talk with us.  We can make recommendations and put you as a back up group if you prefer.


Lease Signing
  • Lease signing will be done electronically. An email with the lease packet will be sent to prospective tenants. 
  • All prospective tenants must fully execute the lease and make the required payment within 24 hours of receipt. 
  • An amount equal to 1 month's rent or $1500, which ever is greater, must be paid within 24 hours of receipt.
  • Once we receive all required signatures & payment, we will sign, & a completed version will be sent to all tenants.
  • Tenants will also need to email a copy of driver's license/ID. Sending a picture of all ID's at once is preferred.





While we are taking steps to limit the number of people at our 1st day of leasing, it is still a busy day.  We ask that everyone be respectful of the rules laid out and also be patient as we are all doing our best under unique and difficult circumstances. Extra staff will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.  Reviewing our lease, procedures, as well as the other information we have on our website will help reduce some of the stress associated with the leasing process.  You may also call us at (517)351-0765 or email us at info@hrirentals.com prior to the 1st day.

As always, we make every attempt to ensure the process is as fair as possible. However, we cannot guarantee you will get the place you want. By having several options you can increase your chances of getting one of your choices.  We rent several properties the first day, but there will be many great places to choose from in the days and weeks that follow. 
Once our 1st day of leasing is complete, properties will become available on a first come, first serve basis.
