Eligibility
Who is eligible to live at Rising View?
Rising View is open to residents of the Bellevue, Offutt
and surrounding areas. If you would like to live in one of our neighborhoods,
contact our office for more information.
Leases
Do I have to sign a lease?
Residents are asked to sign a 12-month lease; however, if you are a
military member and are deployed or receive orders to PCS you will be released
from your agreement with thirty (30) days notice and a copy of the orders.
Will I have to sign a lease every year?
No. After the initial 12-month agreement expires, your lease automatically
becomes month-to-month. Contact a leasing professional if you have questions
or your living arrangements change.
Rent
How much is my rent?
If you are a military member the amount of your rent is set at your
Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) “with dependent” rate. If you
are a non-military member contact our office for more information regarding
rates.
I’m in the military and I have a change in grade. Will my
rent increase?
In this instance, your rent amount will be adjusted to coincide with
the change in grade; however, the rent amount will never be more than your
BAH “with dependent” rate. We ask that you please contact our
office within five (5) days of the change so we can make the necessary
updates to your account.
