We have streamlined the process to facilitate providing quality rental properties to qualified applicants as quickly as possible. To achieve this, we ask that you submit fully completed applications and provide all of the required documentation and information as accurately as possible.

Each person over 18 intending to occupy the property must provide a completed application and pay the $50 application fee*. Each person will have a credit check, a nationwide eviction search, and a nationwide criminal database performed. There is no exception to this.
Each person intending to use their income to qualify must provide the two most recent months of income verification. Paystubs, personal bank statements, and if self-employed, tax returns may be used. Please check with the Listing Agent should you have questions.
Each person applying must provide a legible, clear copy of government issued picture I.D.
Once all items are received for everyone in the party applying and the required application fees have been paid, we will begin processing the applications in the order in which they are received. (Incomplete applications will not be processed.)
Completed applications will be presented to the owner of the property for final approval.
Once final approval is received, the applicant will have 24 hours to remit security deposit payment in the form of certified funds.
Once the deposit is received, the lease will be sent via Docusign for execution. Approved applicants will have 48 hours to execute the lease or it may be canceled.

Credit Score & Security Deposit Requirements

The credit score must be 620* or higher on our credit report to use that applicant's income to qualify. (A credit score of under 620* will disqualify that applicant from using their income to qualify.)
Occupancy is limited to 2 people per bedroom.
Security deposit is based on the applicant with the highest credit score who earns at least 50% of the required income.
A credit score of 620*-649 requires 1.5 times* the monthly rent in security deposit.
A credit score over 650 is 1 times the rent plus $500 in security. The security deposit must be paid in order to secure the property.

Net monthly income must be at least 3 times the rent amount.
