SCREENING GUIDELINES

Our Application Process

Please review our list of criteria. If you feel you meet the criteria, please apply – because we’d be happy to rent to you. Also, if you have any questions or concerns, please ask.

APPLICANT SCREENING CRITERIA
  • A complete application. One for each person over 18 years of age. If a line isn’t filled in (or the omission explained satisfactorily), we will return it to you. Additionally, we have a policy that you must view the INTERIOR of the property before your application can be deemed complete.

  • There is a $45.00 application fee per person and is collected from the first qualified applicant(s). This fee is non-refundable and is payable in CASH or MONEY ORDER ONLY. We will process applications in the order they are received.

  • We require a photo I.D., preferably a driver’s license, and it must be presented with the completed application.

  • We will accept the first qualified applicant.

  • RENTAL REQUIREMENTS Rental history must be verifiable from unbiased sources. 2 years of positive verifiable rental history from a third party reference will be required. Landlord references from a parent will NOT be considered rental history. Rental history of at least 1 year but less than 2 years will require an additional deposit equal to 1/2 of 1 months rent. Rental history of less than 1 year will require a qualified co-signer AND payment of an additional security deposit equal to one months rent. It is your responsibility to provide us with the information necessary to allow us to contact your past landlords. We reserve the right to deny your application if, after making a good faith effort, we are unable to verify your rental history.

  • INCOME The combination of your monthly income must be at least 2 1/2 times the rent amount. Income must be verifiable through pay stubs, employer contact, or tax records. All other income, including self employment, must be verifiable through bank statements or tax records. For Section 8 applicants, the amount of assistance will be considered part of your monthly income. Please provide this information with your application.

  • CREDIT REQUIREMENTS – Good credit will be required. Outstanding bad debt (ie ..slow pay, collections, repossessions, liens, judgments & wage garnishment programs) being reported to the credit bureau which total more than $500 will require an additional security deposit of $200. Bad debt totaling OVER $1500 will require an additional deposit equal to one month’s rent. If in the last five years you have had any unpaid utility collections an additional security deposit will be required. If you have filed a bankruptcy within the last 2 years (it has to be discharged) an additional deposit equal to one month’s rent will be required.

  • CO-SIGNERS – In order to qualify as a co-signer, you must have an income equal to a minimum of 4 TIMES the amount of rent and have an excellent credit rating.

  • PETS – If allowed at a property, all pets must be pre-authorized, and a two pet maximum. A photo of your pet would be appreciated as well as a copy of the latest vaccination. Increased security deposit of $350 per pet will apply, although actual deposits and fees may vary by property.
