Submitting an Application
Visit the property listing online and submit an application by hitting the "Apply" button.

Note: All persons 18 years of age or older must complete their own application and submit an application fee. All application fees are nonrefundable.

Please submit two recent paystub copies with your application. If you are self-employed, income documentation will be required. Examples include bank statements and/or your most recent tax return.

APPLICATION PROCESSING

After your application and fee have been received, our processing department will review them and contact the property owner. The Processing Department will inform you if the application will be processed, placed on a back-up status, or if the owner is not agreeable to processing it and why.

Application processing involves the following:

Credit screening
Employment/income verification
Resident History

Once an application is submitted, the application fee is non-refundable.

Applications are valid for approximately 30 days.

Pet Policy
Due to insurance costs and limitations, some owners may not approve an applicant with the following types of dogs:

Pit Bull
Rottweiler
Chow Chow
Doberman Pincher
German Shepherd
American Staffordshire Terrier
Akita
Mastiff
Cane Corso
Great Dane
Alaskan Malamute
Siberian Huskie
Wild dogs such as Wolf Hybrids

If the property owner agrees to allow a pet, the applicant may be required to pay a higher security deposit. Service animals are welcome.

Security Deposit
The required security deposit must be received within 72 hours after the leased documents are signed, or by the specific date on the lease document.

Screening Criteria

Rental History

A minimum of 12 months of verifiable residence history from a third-party landlord is required, unless the applicant has recently sold their home. First-time renters may be required to provide a guarantor or pay a higher security deposit.
Any unlawful detainer or eviction will result in a landlord's denial.
A history of late rental payments within a 12-month period may result in a landlord's denial or a higher security deposit.
A negative rental verification may result in an application denial.

Income

Applicants must earn approximately three times the amount of the monthly rent. If the monthly income does not meet the required level, a landlord may decline the application.
Income must be verifiable via pay stubs and employer verification. Self-employed applicants will require proof of income via tax returns or bank statements.
Social security income, child support, alimony, or other forms of income are considered income, provided that the applicant can provide verification of such income.

Employment
Verifiable, sustainable employment is required if employment is the only source of income. If you are unemployed and/or if we are unable to verify the income source, your application will be denied. Self-employed individuals will need to be verified through tax returns and bank statements.

Credit

All information on the credit report is subject to verification, including previous addresses and places of employment. If an applicant has no established credit, the owner of the property may or may not require the applicant to secure a guarantor.

If open accounts are 30 days or more past due, the application may be declined (with some exceptions for medical collections or home mortgages).
Outstanding debt to a previous landlord may result in an application denial.
A bankruptcy, short sale, or foreclosure may result in an application denial or a higher security deposit.
Any applicant with a bankruptcy that does not show as discharged will be denied.
An unpaid judgment may result in an application denial.

Each property owner has their own credit criteria. Although most require tenants to have good overall credit, some property owners are more lenient with credit requirements with higher security deposits.

Automatic Denials
Any of the following circumstances will result in an automatic application denial:

Any outstanding collection filed by a landlord or property management company in the last three years
Any unlawful detainer or eviction within the last three years
Any current eviction in process
Any open bankruptcy
Any criminal activity that includes the sale or possession of drugs with the intent to sell
Any criminal activity of a physical or violent nature
Any employment income that is not sustainable and not sufficient to meet the income requirements
False information or distortion of the truth on the written application
