This process ensures we have formalized pet and animal-related policy acknowledgments and more accurate records to create greater mutual accountability.

4) What is your rental application process?
We will process all completed applications for consideration as to what we (in our sole discretion) deem the best applicant, which may not necessarily be the first application received. In such cases, more than one applicant may be approvable, however only one will eventually be approved. Because we represent the best interest of the rental property, we will accept the best application, which may not be the first application received. We follow up with all approved and back-up applicants until a lease is signed and funded. Incomplete applications cannot be processed and will be deleted.

5) How long does the application process take?
Once the application is complete, the process takes approximately 5-7 business days. Incomplete applications will not be processed.

6) What are the common reasons for being declined?
Negative references, insufficient or non-verifiable income or lack of proper credit lines may prevent an application from being approved. All applicants must be approved, denial of one applicant will result in denial of all applicants. Giving false or incomplete information will result in an automatic denial.

7) What is your rental approval criteria?
Approval criteria is based on four areas: Income of 3x the monthly rent, employment history showing 1+ years at current company, a positive review from past landlord and a credit score of 675 or above.

8) Are your application fees refundable?

If your application is approvable, but not the approved one for the property for which you are applying, you may consider applying for other available properties that we may have, without payment of an additional application fee up to 30 days from original application submission.
