What to Know Before Renting in Olympia
Lease Terms
Olympia is organized into 17 villages, and each village governs its own rental policies. Minimum lease terms range from 6 to 18 months depending on the village. Short-term rentals and month-to-month arrangements are not permitted. When you complete the questionnaire below, I will confirm the specific lease requirements for the village where your rental is located.
Equestrian Season Rentals
Wellington is home to the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF), one of the largest and longest-running horse shows in the world, which runs from January through April each year. Olympia is a popular choice for equestrians and horse show attendees who want a spacious single-family home in a guard-gated community with easy access to Forest Hill Boulevard and SR-7, putting the show grounds and surrounding venues within a short drive.
If you are looking for a seasonal rental during WEF, plan ahead. Equestrian season inventory moves fast, and many tenants begin their search 3 to 6 months in advance. Reach out early and I will add you to alerts so you are notified the moment something hits the market.
HOA Approval Process
Because Olympia operates with both a master HOA and individual village sub-associations, the approval process and fees vary by village. The process typically includes a rental application and background check, with an approval period that generally runs about 2 to 4 weeks.
Some villages have a minimum credit score requirement of 675 to 700. Most villages require a security deposit, which can be paid by either the tenant or the landlord depending on the arrangement. Application fees vary by village, confirm the current requirements with the HOA or through me when you are ready to move forward. Plan your move-in date accordingly and factor this window into your timeline.
Pets
Olympia's pet policies vary by village. Some villages have restrictions on the number of pets allowed and breed restrictions may apply. If you have a pet, share the breed and weight in the questionnaire below and I will focus your search on homes and villages where your pet will be approved.
