For renters
Homes with a timeline — not just a listing.
These houses belong to families preparing to serve. Dates, care, and expectations are written up front so you know what you're committing to.

- ✓ Owners who care who lives there — not just the highest bid
- ✓ Care and utility expectations published before you apply
- ✓ Reviewed listings, not random classifieds
How to apply successfully
Match the timeline honestly
If your move-in or move-out doesn’t fit the mission window, say so — or keep browsing.
Complete references
Two solid references (landlord + employer or similar) go further than a long essay.
Ask clarifying questions on the application
Parking, utilities, yard, storage — gaps in the listing are normal; asking shows you’re serious.
Respect smoke/pet rules
Many homes are smoke-free or pet-free for good reason. Don’t apply if you can’t meet them.
Example application
This is a sample of how a thoughtful application might look. Use it for ideas — your real application will use the form on each listing page. Be honest and specific.

About them (example message)
We're the Mitchell family — Jordan, Avery, and our two kids (ages 8 and 11). We're clean, respectful renters and treat every place we live as if it were our own. Jordan is handy with home repairs (basic plumbing, painting, yard upkeep) and is happy to handle mowing and snow removal if that helps.
We're members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and understand the sacred nature of a senior mission. We'd be honored to care for your home while you serve, keep the yard tidy, and leave it better than we found it. Our timeline lines up with your mission dates, and we're comfortable with a written lease and a background check.
Happy to provide landlord and employment references, and to video-call so you can meet us before deciding.
Questions about the listing (example)
Is street parking included? Would you prefer us to keep utilities in your name with reimbursement, or transfer them? Any HOA rules we should know about for exterior changes or visitors?
Tips drawn from this example
- Name your household and who will live there
- Mention cleanliness, reliability, and any useful skills (handy, yard care)
- Share faith or values only if it feels natural — honesty builds trust
- Confirm timeline fit and openness to a lease / background check
- Ask 1–3 practical questions that show you read the listing
Expectations
Owners are often serving far from home. Reliability, cleanliness, and communication matter as much as rent. A written lease, insurance, and care checklist protect both sides.
