All current vacancies are listed at mcbride-pm.com/rentals with photos, rent, deposit, pet policy, and available date. You can filter by city and bedroom count. Listings are updated in real time from our property management software.
Every listing has a self-scheduling link that lets you book an in-person or video tour at a time that works for you, including evenings and weekends. You'll receive a confirmation email and reminder before your scheduled visit.
You'll need: a government-issued photo ID, your two most recent pay stubs (or three months of bank statements if self-employed), names and contact information for your two most recent landlords, and any documentation for service animals. Each adult 18+ who will live in the home submits a separate application. The rental application form (PDF) shows you exactly what we ask before you start.
The application fee is non-refundable and covers credit, background, and eviction history checks for each applicant. Specific fees are listed on each individual property listing.
We follow Fair Housing law and apply consistent criteria to every applicant. In general we look for: gross monthly income at least 3× the monthly rent, a positive rental history with no recent evictions, and a clean criminal background within applicable legal limits. Credit score is one factor among several — we look at the full picture. The full criteria are in our Tenant Screening Standards (PDF); if you don't meet a criterion, talk to us first — many gaps can be addressed with documentation, a co-signer, or a higher deposit.
Most application decisions are returned within 1–3 business days. If we need additional information from you we'll reach out by phone or email. If you're declined, you'll receive a written reason consistent with the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Through the AppFolio resident portal at c21magnolia.appfolio.com. You can pay by ACH (free), credit card (small processing fee), or set up automatic monthly payments. You can also pay in person at our Evans office during business hours or by certified check.
Rent is due on the 1st of each month and is considered late after the 5th. Late fees apply per your lease agreement. We send automated reminders to help you avoid late fees.
Log into your AppFolio resident portal and submit a maintenance request 24/7. Include photos if possible — they help us route the issue to the right vendor faster. For true emergencies (no heat in winter, no AC in summer, water leaks, sewage, lockouts), call the office at (706) 339-2874 in addition to submitting through the portal.
True emergencies are issues that threaten safety or cause active property damage: no heat when outside temperatures are below freezing, no AC when temperatures are above 90°F, active water leaks, gas leaks (call your gas company first), sewage backups, electrical sparks or burning smells, and being locked out (during business hours). Our full Maintenance Request Guide (PDF) spells out every urgency level and the response time you can expect.
True emergencies are addressed immediately, day or night. Non-emergency issues are typically triaged within one business day and completed within 1–7 business days depending on the issue, vendor availability, and parts. We'll keep you updated through the resident portal.
It depends on the property — pet policies are set by each owner and listed on every individual rental listing. Where pets are permitted, expect a pet deposit, possible monthly pet rent, and a limit on size and breed; the specific terms are in our Pet Addendum (PDF). Service animals and assistance animals are not pets under Fair Housing law and are handled separately. See our pet policy explainer for more.
Any adult 18+ living in the home must be on the lease. To add a roommate, contact our office — the prospective new resident will need to apply and pass screening, and we'll prepare a lease amendment if approved.
Move-in is scheduled after you sign the lease and pay the security deposit and first month's rent. We coordinate move-in inspection and key handoff during business hours. Same-day or weekend move-ins are sometimes possible — ask when you apply.
Yes. McBride PM leases require renter's insurance with at least $100,000 in liability coverage. Renter's insurance is inexpensive (typically $10–$20/month) and protects your personal property, liability, and temporary housing costs if your unit becomes uninhabitable. Here's what it covers and why it matters.
Submit written notice at least 30 days before the end of your lease term, or per the specific notice provisions of your lease. The easiest path: download and complete our 30-Day Notice to Vacate (PDF), then email it to the office or submit it through your resident portal. We'll follow up with a move-out packet covering the inspection, cleaning expectations, and security deposit timeline.
Georgia law requires the security deposit to be returned (or an itemized statement of withholdings) within 30 days of move-out. South Carolina law allows up to 30 days as well. We aim to process deposit returns as quickly as possible after the move-out inspection. Here's how deposits work in Georgia.
We reach out roughly 60–90 days before your lease end date with a renewal offer. Renewal terms (rent, length, conditions) depend on the property and the owner. Good tenants almost always get the chance to renew, and we work hard to keep rent increases reasonable.
Residents and applicants: (706) 339-2874 during business hours, or submit through the AppFolio portal anytime. Maintenance emergencies after hours: same number. Email amber@c21magnolia.com for non-urgent inquiries. Office is at 609 Ponder Place Drive, Suite B, Evans, GA 30809.
