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.

Utilities
How much will I pay in utilities?
Absolutely nothing! Rising View pays for gas, water, electric, sewer and trash removal! Think of the savings!

Renter’s Insurance
Is renter’s insurance required?

Do I have to mow my yard?
All residents are responsible for mowing their yard. This also includes edging and trimming shrubs. Residents are free to landscape their yards to enhance the overall beauty. Contact the leasing or maintenance office if you have questions about landscaping.

I don’t have a lawnmower. What can I do?
Rising View provides a list of contractors to assist you in maintaining your lawn.

I’m a military member who will be deployed. Can someone take care of my lawn while I’m away?
Yes, America First Communties provides a list of contractors to assist you in maintaining your lawn during your absence.

What if my neighbor doesn’t take care of his yard?
Yard inspections are held periodically throughout the community. If someone violates the requirements set forth in the handbook regarding yard maintenance, then the resident will be contacted to take care of the yard.

Snow Removal
Who handles snow removal?
All residents are responsible for shoveling their driveways and sidewalks. Rising View has contracted with an outside vendor for snow removal in the street. During heavy snowfall we ask for everyone’s cooperation and patience during the process.

Is there someone I can contact if I’m unable to remove snow from my driveway or sidewalk?
If you are deployed or the spouse of a deployed military member and need assistance, please contact a vendor from our list of contractors.

Inspections
If I’m leaving the community, how far in advance do I need to schedule my pre- and final inspections?
