Application Process

 

Once you have selected the home you want it is necessary to apply to lease the home.  Applications can be picked up at the office, faxed to you or downloaded from this website.

No one under 18 can apply as a party to a residential leasing agreement.  To be considered an application must be completely filled out and have an original signature.  Signatures on faxed copies are accepted.  Our property managers are available Monday through Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.  to answer questions and assist with the application process.

The screening process includes obtaining previous landlord references.  If the applicant is a homeowner and does not have a prior landlord, a realtor or property manager reference is usually sufficient.  Our property managers can assist applicants in choosing an appropriate reference for their prior living circumstances.

An applicant’s income should be at least three times the rental amount.  As part of the screening process we verify employment references and salary.  For self-employed and non-employment income we verify sources and amounts.  Examples of verification of non-employee income are:  tax returns, bank and business references, government documents.

The screening process includes running a credit report on individuals and a joint credit report on married couples.  If approved, applicants with recent bankruptcies and/or credit problems are required to make advance rent payments.  Please discuss any questions or concerns over credit and/or background requirements with one of our property managers before submitting the application.

Once the application is accepted the applicant must execute a residential leasing agreement within five days.  This can be done in the office, by mail or by fax.  If the application is accepted, and the applicant does not enter into a residential leasing agreement,  the property will be placed back on the rental market.
