Why We’re Making It Permanent

The referral program launched on March 29, 2026 with a simple premise: if you knew someone who would be a great neighbor, you shouldn’t have to stay quiet about it. Refer them, they sign a lease, you get $100 off your rent.

What we saw in the weeks that followed reinforced something we already believed — that the best residents come through the people who are already living here. The referrals we received weren’t just warm leads. They were people vouched for by residents who genuinely wanted their friends and family nearby. That matters to us, and it shows in the quality of the community we’re building in Lytle and Pleasanton.

A program that works this well doesn’t need an expiration date. So we’re dropping it.

What’s Changing

One thing: the end date is gone. Everything else stays exactly the same.

  • Still $100 off your rent — applied as a credit to your TenantCloud account after your referral signs and pays their first full month.
  • Still no limit on referrals — refer as many people as you want. Each qualifying referral earns another $100 credit.
  • Still the same simple process — fill out the form at /referrals before your referral applies, and we handle the rest.
  • No deadline — submit a referral today, next month, or next year. The program is open as long as you’re a resident.

Ready to refer someone? Head to ewgproperties.com/referrals and fill out the form. It takes less than two minutes, and your $100 credit isn’t going anywhere.

A Quick Reminder of How It Works

For anyone who missed the original announcement, here’s the short version:

  • Step 1 — Submit the form at /referrals with your info and your referral’s contact details. The form must be submitted before they apply — not after.
  • Step 2 — They apply and sign a lease at any EWG property in Lytle or Pleasanton.
  • Step 3 — You get $100 off after they pay their first full month’s rent. The credit appears directly in your TenantCloud balance — no checks, no chasing anyone down.

To qualify, you need to be a current EWG Properties resident in good standing with an active lease at the time of submission. Your referral must be new to EWG — not a current or former tenant. And the referral form needs to be submitted through the official page, not informally by phone or email.

Thank You to Everyone Who’s Already Participated

To every resident who submitted a referral during the program’s first few weeks — thank you. You trusted us enough to put your name behind a recommendation, and that means something. The neighbors you brought in are part of what makes these communities worth living in.

We’re glad this program gets to continue. It’s one of the better decisions we’ve made, and we have our residents to thank for that.
