Before you begin:

Thank you for your interest in this property! During the application process we will be screening for credit history, criminal (not in the city of Seattle) and eviction records, and employment and rental history. Please be sure to go over the criteria first and fill out the application as completely as possible. At the time of application, we ask for a photocopy of valid identification (driver’s license, passport, government ID card, etc.).

Before you apply, please review the list of application criteria. The application fee is NON-REFUNDABLE, so please ensure you meet the criteria before applying.

Employment History/Income: For consideration, your income must be three times of monthly rent, and you must supply a copy of your two most recent pay stubs, and/or copies of government, pension, or valid program funding. If self-employed, you must provide copies of the last two year’s tax returns and 6-month worth of bank statements. You must have a job secured in Washington and provide a hire letter if you don't have 2 recent pay stubs. If you plan to work remotely for a company that is outside of Washington please provide a letter from your employer stating you can work from Washington remotely and what your income will be.

Credit Requirements: We require our tenants to have their credit in good standing. You must sign and authorize a credit and criminal report (no criminal check in the city of Seattle).

Credit must be in good standing. Applicants may not be accepted for the following derogatory credit records:
1. More than 2 delinquent payments over the last 2 years
2. Accounts that are in collection or any unpaid debts
3. Bankruptcies that are still in process, or are not at least 7 years since discharge
4. Evictions/and or money owed to previous apartment or landlord within the last 7 years
5. Less than 3 years of verifiable credit and less than 6 of revolving credit lines
6. Minimum credit score of 700

Any applicants who meet all other parts of the applicant screening process, but do not meet the credit requirements, may be accepted if signing with a cosigner or increase the refundable security deposit.

Cosigner criteria include:
1. Must reside in the United States
2. Must own property or show positive rental history
3. Must meet the cosigner income requirement of income 4 times the monthly rent
4. Credit score of over 700 with 3 years of on-time payments and 7 revolving accounts.

Landlord References: Each rental applicant must be able to demonstrate a pattern of meeting their rental obligations, leaving prior rental properties in good condition, and not having a pattern of complaints from neighbors. Applicants can have no prior evictions and must have verifiable references for positive rental or mortgage history over the last 12 months. Please note that you must provide contact information for the previous landlord and that the previous landlord must take or return screening calls within 72 hours of the application submission, or we will move on to the next application.

Criminal History: Criminal history may be considered on a case-by-case basis, with factors including the nature of the offense, how time has passed, and whether or not the individual is appropriately rehabilitated and does not pose a risk to persons or property.

Pet Policy: If you intend to have a pet on the property you must first obtain permission from the property owner. If permitted by the property owner, pets are allowed provided that prior permission has been obtained, and all required documents have been signed by both parties. All pets must be properly licensed if required by city or county law and you must provide a record of current immunizations. There is usually an additional pet deposit and a monthly pet rent after the owner approves the pet.

When you are approved for property and the lease is sent for signing, you have 24 hours to sign the lease. After 24 hours, we have the right to move forward with other applicants. Security deposit is due within 24 hours after the lease is signed.

Smoking is not allowed at the property.

Since we cannot refund the application fee, please reach out if you want to know whether there are already applications for the property to which you plan to apply. Each person 18 and older who will be residing in the home must apply.

Thank you so much for reading this. Please go ahead if you are ready to apply.
