Application Requirements
Thank you for your interest in renting one of our homes. Applications are processed in the order received. It is understood that more than one set of applications may be taken on the property and applications fees are non-refundable. Please be advised the burden of completing the application and providing the required additional documentation is the responsibility of the applicant. Incomplete applications will delay the process and could result in rewarding the property to another applicant, or even denial.
Anyone 18 years or older is required to apply and pay an application fee. Each person must complete an individual application and include all occupants on each application. Application fees are $55 per person (subject to change), paid online directly to third party (RentPrep) for a background check, and are NON-REFUNDABLE. Once a completed application is received, you will receive an email from RentPrep to submit for a background check.
Approval is based on the following criteria:
At least one adult applicant must have a credit score of 525 or higher.
Proof of sufficient income. Single applicant must have income of at least 3x (three times) the rent amount. If multiple applicants, each applicant must have a verified gross income equal to 2.5x (two and a half times) or greater than the monthly rental amount.
Verified proof of income as noted in the application.
Within the past 5 years, no evictions, no open bankruptcy.
No felonies, and no other criminal charges of violent or sexual nature.
*In the event your application fee reverses due to insufficient funds, your application may be automatically declined. Co-signers for applicants that do not meet the credit or income may be considered and are required to meet all requirements as stated with a 650 or higher credit score. Applicants with no credit score and or co-signer are required to have a work visa, letter of employment including transfer and meet all other requirements.

Pet Policy
Some of our properties will consider pets on a case-by-case basis with the final decision up to the property owner. Please see individual property description to determine if pets are allowed BEFORE applying. Before final approval can be obtained, you will be required to submit a pet application through a 3rd party pet screening company and provide photos of your pet and vaccination records. We charge a Non-Refundable Pet Admin Fee of $250 per pet and $35 monthly Pet Admin Fee for each pet. Please note that for 6 month leases, we charge a $400 Non-Refundable Pet Admin Fee per pet. For pet friendly properties, any more than 2 animals must be approved by owner/landlord. Acceptable pets include: small dogs, small caged animals, caged birds, and fish. Livestock animals, poisonous, dangerous, or exotic animals, and dogs that are considered "aggressive breeds" are prohibited. Aggressive dogs may include but are not limited to: Pit Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Terriers, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Presa Canarios, Chows, Doberman Pinschers, Akitas, Wolf-hybrids, Mastiffs, Cane Corsos, Great Danes, Alaskan Malamutes, Husky or any breed of guard dog trained to attack. The foregoing applies to both purebred and any mix containing one of these breeds. Applicant must provide breed, weight, age, and submit a photo of all pets. Dogs weighing more than 25 lbs will be denied.
***No cats will be allowed in any of our properties.
Pet Screening
If pets are allowed (per property basis), Pet Screening is a simple and secure tool allowing you to store all the important information about your pet in one place.
All applicants are required to complete a pet screening for each of their pets or service/companion animals prior to move-in. Pet screenings are $20 for the first pet and $15 for additional pets, and service/companion animal registration is free.
The benefits of registering your pet with a pet screening service are huge. An online pet screening allows you to consolidate the paperwork required to manage your pet's complicated life all in one place. Profile information includes: photos, vaccinations, microchip, training, behavioral traits as well as a special section for service/companion animals. You’ll love easily sharing this information with all the service providers for your pet, including pet sitters, doggie daycares, groomers, veterinarians, and animal hospitals.
Your pet screening will automatically be shared us, just use the button below to start your pet screening today!
