Thank you for your interest in our rental homes! Below are the 4 main criteria that we blend together to make our decision for approval. However, even if there are one or more areas where an applicant might not meet a guideline, we do judge each application as a whole. We want to provide our owner clients with the best renters who will be pleasant to work with, pay their rent on time, and keep the property in good shape. If this describes you, please fill out an application!
1
Employment and Income
The monthly rent typically needs to be less than 40% of gross income. Example: If a household makes a combined $4,000/month, the rent would need to be 40% or less of that ($1,600.00 or less).”
2
Rental History
We contact past landlords (typically for the last 5 years) to see if rent was paid on time and if the property was left in good condition.
3
Credit Check
We look at the current applicant debt level. Generally, we do not judge the score alone because we understand that a credit score is not often an accurate indicator of rental worthiness.
4
Criminal Background Check
We conduct a criminal background check. A clean criminal report is favorable; however, having some type of criminal record is not an automatic disqualification.
