Accepted renters

Renter onboarding

Congratulations on your acceptance to Bliss Estates — a safe, secure, friendly, community-driven village where beautiful living in safe surroundings is more than a slogan. This page walks you through move-in steps: lease, utilities, and village coordination. If you have not been approved yet, start on the Apply page.

Not approved yet?

New applicants should review requirements and apply through Innago first.

  1. Step 1

    Sign your lease in Innago

    Complete digital lease documents in Innago. Mike and Stacy will send instructions when your cabin is assigned.

  2. Step 2

    Pay move-in funds in Innago

    Total due at move-in: $3,220 (first month $1,200, last month $1,200, $800 security deposit, $20 lagoon fee). Add $500 pet deposit ($3,720 total) if bringing an approved small animal under 50 lbs. Application fee credited toward first month when approved.

  3. Step 3

    Set up Innago

    Download the Innago app or sign in at my.innago.com — pay rent, sign your lease, submit maintenance requests, and optional renters insurance.

  4. Step 4

    Open utility & trash accounts

    Set up Consolidated Electric, CPWSD #2 water, your chosen fiber provider (Callabyte or Kingdom Networks), and Dayne's Waste Disposal trash service before move-in. Contact numbers are on this page.

  5. Step 5

    Lagoon fee & village orientation

    The $20/month private lagoon fee begins with residency. We schedule a walkthrough for parking (golf cart and two vehicles on your driveway), garden plot, maintenance, and on-site contacts. Expect maintenance inspections every 6 months — we notify you well in advance.

  6. Step 6

    Move-in day

    Arrive with ID. Keep yards tidy — no visible junk or unlicensed vehicles; rent storage if needed. No cigarette smoking inside your cabin. For maintenance emergencies call 573-469-2617 (911 first if life-threatening). Routine repairs go through Innago.

Total due at move-in

Plan for these amounts at lease signing (paid through Innago unless Mike and Stacy direct otherwise). Utility accounts are separate.

Move-in cost breakdown

First month's rent$1,200
Last month's rent$1,200

$20/month continues with residency.

Total move-in (no pet)$3,220
Pet deposit (small animals under 50 lbs)

One-time deposit per approved pet. Not charged for verified service or assistance animals.

+$500
Total move-in with approved small pet$3,720

If approved, your $50 Innago application fee ($50) is credited toward first month's rent. Move-in totals and monthly rent are paid through Innago only — Innago processing fees (ACH $2; card 2.99%) are passed to the renter and shown before you confirm.

Monthly rent & late fee

Rent is due on the date shown in your Innago lease. If rent is not received within 5 days after the due date, a flat $100 late fee is added to your balance.

Pay through Innago on time to avoid the $100 fee. The grace period is 5 days after your due date — not business days unless your lease states otherwise.

Serious delinquency: If rent remains unpaid for more than one full month, Bliss Estates will terminate the lease and begin the Missouri eviction process in accordance with state law and your lease terms.

Missouri renter rights

As a Missouri tenant you have rights under state law. These official resources explain them in plain language:

These are official Missouri resources. Bliss Estates is not a law firm — read your lease in Innago and contact the Attorney General or an attorney if you have questions about your rights.

Pets & assistance animals

Small animals under 50 pounds are welcome with an additional $500 deposit and landlord approval.

Service and assistance animals are not pets under federal fair-housing law — no pet deposit when properly documented.

  • If your disability or need for the animal is not obvious, we may ask for reliable documentation from a licensed healthcare professional (physician, therapist, counselor, or similar) on letterhead.
  • The letter should confirm you have a disability and explain the disability-related need for the animal — for example, tasks a service dog performs or support an assistance animal provides.
  • Online pet-registry certificates or ID cards alone are not sufficient documentation.
  • Verified service and assistance animals are not subject to the pet weight limit or the $500 pet deposit.

How we protect the village

Clear standards, enforced fairly — so beautiful living in safe surroundings stays true for every neighbor.

  • Maintenance inspections — caring for the village

    Twice a year we walk your cabin together — not to surprise you, but to keep every home safe and well maintained. Mike and Stacy schedule inspections every six months and notify you well in advance with the date, time window, and what we plan to review inside and outside. It is how we protect beautiful living in safe surroundings for the whole village.

  • Fresh air indoors — no cigarettes inside

    We keep cabin air clean and welcoming for every neighbor who follows you. Cigarette smoking inside Bliss Estates homes is not allowed — smoke settles into walls and carpets and affects the next resident's home.

    • First violation: one written warning — we would rather correct it early.
    • Second violation: $500 documented cleanup fee (through Innago) and lease cancellation per your agreement.
  • Considerate cannabis use — Missouri law

    Bliss Estates is cannabis-friendly for adults acting lawfully under Missouri law. Use stays private and discrete — no visible or disruptive behavior that disturbs neighbors or the calm, friendly village we share. Respect for the community comes first; what stays considerate behind your door, within the law, is yours.

Yard & property care

  • Keep front and back yards free of visible junk, trash, and clutter.
  • No broken-down, unlicensed, or inoperable vehicles parked on your lot or in the road.
  • Store boats, campers, extra vehicles, and overflow items in your carport or rent an on-site storage unit.

On-site storage units are available to rent when your carport is full — ideal for RVs, boats, side-by-sides, and seasonal gear. Ask Mike and Stacy during application or onboarding.

Utility & trash contacts

Open your own accounts with these providers before move-in. Choose Callabyte or Kingdom Networks for fiber — both serve the area. Trash service is through Dayne's Waste Disposal.

Maintenance & Innago tenant portal

Mike and Stacy are proactive landlords — when something needs fixing at Bliss Estates, we respond right away. Routine requests go through Innago so nothing gets lost; emergencies get a phone call.

Routine repairs

For dripping faucets, HVAC issues, appliance problems, and other non-emergency repairs: open Innago (app or web), go to Maintenance, and submit a ticket with a short description and photos if you can.

Emergencies

For urgent issues that threaten safety or serious property damage — active water leak, no heat in winter, sparking electrical, gas smell — call 911 first if anyone is in danger, then call Bliss Estates immediately.

573-469-2617

Then submit a maintenance ticket in Innago so we have a written record.

All payments through Innago

All Bliss Estates rent, move-in funds, deposits, and village fees posted to your account must be paid through Innago — not by cash or personal check to Mike and Stacy. Bliss does not store your card or bank details; Innago handles payment processing.

Innago charges a small processing fee for online payments. Bliss Estates passes that fee to the renter (we do not mark it up). Innago shows the exact total before you confirm — always review the amount on the payment screen.

Ways to pay rent in Innago

  • ACH bank transfer

    $2 per payment

    Electronic transfer from your linked bank account. Often the lowest-cost way to pay rent.

    Set up autopay in Innago and allow a few days for the first transfer to link.

  • Debit or credit card

    2.99% of payment amount

    Convenient for one-time payments; the percentage fee is higher on large amounts like rent.

    On $1,200 rent, 2.99% is about $35.88 per month.

Example monthly rent totals

Illustration only — Innago shows your exact total at checkout.

  • $1,200 rent via ACH$1,202$1,200 rent + $2 Innago ACH fee
  • $1,200 rent via card (2.99%)$1,235.88$1,200 rent + 2.99% card processing (about $35.88)

Application & screening (apply time)

  • Application & screening (per adult)$50

    One $50 Innago charge per adult applicant covers background, criminal, credit, eviction, and income verification together — not separate fees. Non-refundable; credited toward first month's rent if approved.

Open Innago → Payments (or Rent), choose ACH or card, and confirm. You can enable autopay for recurring rent. Processing fees appear on the review screen before you submit. Late Bliss fees still apply if rent is not received on time — schedule payments early enough for bank transfers to clear.

Screening, insurance & credit building

Innago handles application screening, optional renters insurance, and rent credit reporting. Bliss does not mark up these services.

$50 per adult — all screening included

  • Criminal background check
  • Credit check
  • Eviction history
  • Income verification

Renters insurance — recommended, not required

Bliss Estates does not require renters insurance, but we strongly recommend it:

  • Covers your belongings if fire, storm, theft, or other covered loss damages your cabin.
  • Provides personal liability protection if a guest is injured or you accidentally damage village property.
  • Can help with temporary housing costs if your cabin is uninhabitable after a covered event.

  1. Sign in to Innago → Settings → Build Credit (wording may vary slightly in the app).
