Frequently Asked Questions

1) What are your rental requirements?
Our rental application process is based on a Tenant Screening Score ™ which assigns a points based on each factor such as credit score number of years of positive rental history verifiable gross household income In general you are awarded points for meeting the minimums in each factor and the goal is to get more points to qualify. However, sometimes people have a lower credit score, but plenty of income. Or people have less rental history, but a very high credit score. If you feel you might be low in one of the factors you can still qualify. Positive points are assigned for credit scores above 650 and multiple years of positive rental history and multiple years of employment. Points are deducted for past evictions, open collections/ bad debt on your credit report, evictions in the near past, moving out owing the property manager money, lack of verifiable income, or negative past tenant references.

2) How long does the application process take?
1-2 days depending on the speed that your current property manager responds to our requests for a rental reference

3) Do you accept pets?
Some of our properties allow pets some do not, However, all of our applicants must complete a Pet Screening profile. (even if you are a no pet household.) This will create a profile for your pet or a profile that affirms you have no pets. The pets that rent with Sound City have to go through an approval process based on quantity, weight and breed restrictions.
