D.C. Rentals FAQ

Where can I find home rentals in Washington, D.C.?

There are rentals available throughout greater D.C., including Adams Morgan, Alexandria, Anacostia, Arlington, Brookland, Capitol Hill, Columbia Heights, Dupont Circle, Georgetown, Navy Yard, and more. A professional property manager can help narrow your search based on your needs. Contact us to get expert assistance in finding your ideal D.C. rental home.

How do I rent a house in D.C.?

Renting a home in Washington, D.C. is straightforward. You select a property, submit an application, and follow the property manager's requirements. Typically, applicants must pay an application fee, provide personal details, and undergo a background and credit check. Learn more about the application process before you apply.

What is the application fee to rent a house in D.C.?

Each property management company sets its own application fee, which typically ranges between $30 and $80. This fee covers credit and background checks. While there are no legal restrictions on this cost, it's always a good idea to check with the property manager in advance.

What do you need to rent a house in D.C.?

To secure a rental in D.C., you'll typically need:

  • A valid ID and Social Security number
  • Employment history and proof of monthly income
  • Rental and criminal background information
  • Credit score details
  • A co-signer if you lack proof of income

Each landlord may have different requirements, so it's best to confirm before applying.

What costs go into renting a house in D.C.?

Renting a home involves one-time and ongoing expenses. Initial costs include the application fee, security deposit, pet deposit, and move-in fees, plus moving expenses. Monthly costs include rent, utilities, renters insurance, and possible pet rent or parking fees. Use this tool to estimate what you can afford before committing.

Which Washington, D.C. neighborhood is the cheapest to live in?

For budget-friendly rentals, consider Mt. Pleasant, Capitol Hill, H Street Corridor, Brookland, and Takoma. Other affordable areas include Manor Park, 16th Street Heights, and Fort Totten. For a detailed breakdown, check out our guide to the most affordable D.C. neighborhoods or contact us for recommendations.

How do you pick the best D.C. neighborhood to live in?

Choosing the right neighborhood depends on your budget, commute, lifestyle, and housing needs. Consider factors like public transportation access, safety, nearby amenities, and rental prices. Working with a real estate expert can simplify the process.

Do I need a real estate agent to rent in D.C.?

While you can search for rentals on your own, working with a real estate agent can simplify the process. Agents help navigate lease agreements, negotiate terms, and find properties that match your needs-especially in competitive markets like D.C. Property managers also provide expert guidance for a smooth rental experience.

What's the difference between renting an apartment and a single-family home in D.C.?

Apartments often come with shared amenities, lower maintenance responsibilities, and community perks, while single-family homes offer more space, privacy, and potential yard access. Your decision should depend on budget, lifestyle, and long-term rental plans.

How long does it take to get approved for a rental in D.C.?

Rental application approval times vary. If you submit all required documents quickly, approvals can take as little as 24-48 hours. However, background checks, income verification, and landlord decisions can extend the process to several days or weeks. To speed up approval, ensure your credit score, employment verification, and rental history are in order before applying.

Enhanced Reporting

Your portal includes a selection of extremely useful reports. Reports are available in the “Reports” section, and are distinct from the financial statements. Unlike financial statements which are static records, Reports are dynamic real-time records that will update with current data every time you view them. 

Scroll down to learn more about Reports:

Navigate to the "Reports" module in your portal:

Owner Portal Reports
  • Keep in mind, these reports are dynamic records. They will refresh to display current information every time you view them. 

Enhanced Rent Roll Report:

Enhanced Rent Roll Report
  • The Enhanced Rent Roll Report will show the rent amount, last payment date, move-in date, lease expiration date, and security deposit amount for each of your tenants. 
  • It will also show a portfolio summary with occupancy percentage, vacancy loss, and more!

Unit Comparison Report:

  • This report enables you to quickly compare financial performance between your units at a glance without toggling between individual reports. 

Income Statement Month-Over-Month:

  • The Income Statement Detail – Monthly Report serves as a month-over-month record of portfolio performance. You’ll see itemized income and expense categories and can track monthly. This report will update with fresh data every time you view it. 

Financial Statements

Financial statements will be published to your portal on a monthly basis. The statements are found in your Documents library, and provide a historical record of all financial performance. The statements serve as a snapshot of financial performance over a given period, and are static documents (unlike Reports, the statements do not update/change in real-time). 

Scroll down for more info about the Financial Statements in your Documents library:

The Documents area contains monthly financial statements:

Owner Portal Documents

Understanding the Ledger

Your portal includes a ledger with all transactions. The ledger is populated with data in real-time as transactions flow through our accounting software. Much of this information is also available in the Reports area, as well as the Statements in your Documents library, but the ledger is the most comprehensive resource for diving into the details. 

Please scroll through the sections below to get a better understanding of how to interpret the ledger. 

By default, transactions are sorted chronologically:

Owner Ledger Dates
  • The date reflected in the lefthand column is the actual transaction date, not the “bill date”. This is the date the transaction was actually processed. 

If you have multiple properties with Nomadic, you'll see the address for each transaction in the "Location" column:

Ledger Property Column
  • You can filter the ledger to look at just one property, all properties, or specific sets of properties. 
  • If you only have one property with us, you’ll just see the ledger for that property. 

The Description column displays the transaction type:

Owner Ledger Description Column
  • BILL: this is an expense transaction, such as for repair costs or management fees.
  • CHARGE: this is a transaction  billed to the tenant, most typically a rent payment. 
  • NACHA EXPORT: this is a credit we processed to your distribution account. This type of transaction is how you get paid! 

The Amount column shows the dollar value of each transaction:

Owner Ledger Amount Column
  • Positive Amounts: if an amount is positive, it reflects a transaction that is payable to you. Typically, this will be a rent payment that we collected from your tenants. On occasion, a positive number could also signify a journal entry or credit adjustment. 
  • Negative Amounts:  if an amount is negative, this is a transaction that is either payable to Nomadic or is an amount that has already been paid to you. Typically this will be for repair costs or management/leasing fees. Owner draws (net distributions into your checking/savings account) also reflect as negative amounts, since they have already been paid to you. 

The Account Balance column shows a sum of positive/negative transactions at a given point in time:

Owner Ledger Account Balance Column
  • Account Balance should always equal zero after a net distribution has been processed. When the balance is zero, this means that all expenses have been paid and you’ve received the remainder as net operating income, leaving a balance of zero (meaning: no one is due any money, as all funds have been distributed appropriately). 

Navigating the Propertyware Owner Portal

Your portal includes some extremely useful features that help you understand your property’s financial performance at a new level, with real-time transparency into every transaction.

How do net distributions work?

Net distributions keep your accounting clean and simple. Each month we’ll collect rent from the tenants, deduct any repair expenses for the previous month and any management/leasing fees for the current month, and credit the remaining net operating income to your account. 

Net Distribution

You’ll receive a statement via email each time a net distribution is processed, and can view all transaction details in your Propertyware owner portal.
