Here is a copy of our current lease.

If you are interested in renting one of our houses, we ask you to fill out a tenant application. If it's more convenient, you can answer all the questions on this application in an email to paul@paulsmedberg.com

In some cases we ask for a co-signer who would fill out our co-signer's guarantee.. Reasons we'd ask for a co-signer include:

  • if you are under 21, or
  • have no history of residential rentals, or
  • are employed less than 40 hours per week, or
  • are an undergraduate student, or
  • if we discover any negative rental history when checking your credit or references.

We generally issue our leases for a 1-year period, from near the beginning of August through the end of July. Specific start and end times may vary depending upon previous rental periods or other circumstances.

If you'd like to lease for a shorter period (such as August through May), just contact us to determine the partial year monthly rate.

If you have any questions, call Paul at 812-720-3011. We'd be happy to show you the house or houses you're interested in. Or email paul@paulsmedberg.com
