Rental Information

After completion of the initial 12-month lease term, our tenants are required to give 30 days notice of their intent to move.  We recommend calling us 1-2 months prior to your intended move.  Our rentals go quickly, so with a paid deposit, units can be reserved for up to 2 weeks prior to moving in.

We have a large inventory of studio apartments up to 6 bedroom homes at a variety of locations around the Huntington area.

Hood Realty does not own traditional student housing.  While several of our locations are within walking distance to Marshall University, our tenants tend to desire the quieter environment of living in predominantly single-family home neighborhoods.  Of course, students are always welcome and we have a large variety of options to meet everyone’s needs.

We ask that your parents fully complete the Guaranty of Lease, which requires their signature and notarization. The Guaranty of Lease form is available for download on this website.

The Tristate Transit Authority (TTA) has stops that are very close to each of our properties.

We retain a portion of your security deposit. This nonrefundable amount is specifically for the painting and carpet cleaning of your apartment at move-out. You are still responsible for cleaning your apartment prior to turning in your keys.

A rental may be held for up to 2 weeks.  In order to reserve your apartment, we require a completed Application form, a $25 application fee, and a deposit equal to one month's rent. The deposit will be held as your Security Deposit when you sign your lease.

Applications are available for download on this site, during the viewing process or at our office.  All Hood Realty tenants must pass a credit and background check.  There is an application fee of $25 to cover this expense and/or a reference check at our option.

Apartments are shown by appointment only. Please call 304-522-6252, 304-633-5187 or email [email protected] to make an appointment with our staff.

All lease terms are for 12 months with 12 monthly installments of rent starting from the beginning of your lease.  In most cases, a new 12-month lease signing is not necessary at the end of the original lease term.  The majority of Hood Realty leases begin month-to-month terms after the initial 12-month term.  In the case of larger homes and condos, yearly lease signings may be required.

No.  Hood Realty strictly prohibits the assignment of rental units.

The vast majority of properties provide off-street parking.  Some even have designated parking spots or covered parking.  In some instances, however, street parking is all that is available.  That will always be discussed prior to lease signing.

Hood Realty has several maintenance personnel, along with several licensed contractors with which we work closely.  At lease signing, all tenants are provided contact information for multiple people on staff, including after hours cell numbers.  Calls to the main office and emails to [email protected] are also welcome.

Laundry access varies by property location.  Some have a washer and dryer hookup inside each unit.  Others have coin operated and laundry on site.  And still others have no laundry access.  Rental rates reflect the amenities available at each location.

Apartments and homes vary in what is, or is not, included. Please check the detailed description for each location to determine what is included with each property.
