Guidelines & Qualifications

Our office actively supports all Federal, State, and Local Fair Housing Rules and Regulations.

Our decision is based on several factors: your credit report, public records which includes criminal & unlawful detainer actions, your ability to pay rent on time & abiding by the terms and conditions in a written contract. Current & prior rental history is also investigated & considered, along with verifying your sources of income. Combined gross monthly income for applicant(s) must be at least 2 ½ times the monthly rent or more.

Applicant(s) with an unlawful detainer action on their report will not be accepted. Credit reports that-for example-show a history of late pay’s, collections, judgments and/or liens with no positive trade lines will result in denial of the application. A guarantor will be considered if there is no credit, rental history, or insufficient income.

As required by law, if your application is denied, or an adverse action is offered to you (ie: "Last months rent or increased security deposit"), you'll be mailed a letter giving you specific steps to follow to investigate your credit report.

Application(s) are processed on a first submitted, first qualified basis and is subject to additional review, documentation, and owner’s approval. Within three business days, our decision of your acceptance or denial will be provided to you. If approved, the security deposit must be paid within 24 hours; otherwise the property will be put back on the market. You’ll be required to sign a written contract, along with taking possession within two weeks or sooner—unless other arrangements are made in advance.

Disclosures, Addendum's, Rental Agreement

When the security deposit is collected, we will arrange a time for you to complete the paperwork necessary for you to lease the property. A move-in date will be required, along with other basic information to complete the paperwork. You will be provided with copies of all documents signed. If you fail to take possession after the security deposit is collected, you will be charged the daily rent amount while the property was off the market.

You'll want to make arrangements for your utility services, phone service, and change your address with the post office. Along with the above, each time you change residence--Register to VOTE!

After you have moved into the property, our office will send you a welcome letter and further information.
