TENANT RESOURCES

Become a Resident

Thank you for choosing Landmark. We look forward to having you as a future resident! All available listings are on our website under the vacancies tab.

How to Schedule a showing?

We allow everyone to secure and apply for a unit sight unseen. However, if you would like to view a unit prior to applying, you are more than welcome to either schedule a showing through our website by clicking on the corresponding unit/property and scheduling a tour with our showing agent. Alternatively, you are welcome to give us a call at 360-738-1022 and we can schedule a showing for you over the phone or via email at info@visitlandmark.com.

Do I have to Place a Holding Fee? 

We will process your application whether or not you have place a holding fee. However, during the application process, someone else may place the holding fee on the unit that you applied for, which then secures the unit to their application. We can transfer your application toward any available listing as long as your application is still valid in our system. 

We only accept ONE holding fee per unit. 

* Application valid for 30 days from date of receipt 

What is a Holding Fee?

The holding fee is equal to 25% of one month's rent and must be paid with either a cashier's check or a money order. If APPROVED, the holding fee is applied toward the security deposit. However, if you decide to not move into the unit or if you back out of the application process, then the holding fee is FORFEITED. The holding fee is refundable if your application is DENIED. Please be aware that it is first come, first served with holding fees, not applications. 

Please bring the holding fee to our office at 455 W Stuart Road, Bellingham, WA 98226

Out of State/Not local, Holding Fee?

In the case that you are out of state or not local, you can make out the money order/cashier's check out to Landmark Real Estate Management and overnight it to our address. You would need to use priority mail/overnight shipping and send a photo of both the postage (with the tracking number) and the money order/cashier's check itself to info@visitlandmark.com to secure the unit. 

Applying

There is a $65 (Non-refundable) application fee that is required to apply for any listing. Applications expire 30 days after receipt. Applicants have the option to transfer the application one time to another listing. If an applicant wants to transfer their application a second time, they will need to reapply.
