| • | Your income should be greater than 3 times the rent or lease payment per month. |
| • | If roommates are applying and have lived together for 1 year, we can combine the incomes to meet the criteria (3 x rent). |
| • | If the roommates have not lived together for 1 year, each person will have to qualify separately, but would only need to make 2 times the rent each. In either case, a separate application should be filled out accompanied with two application fees. |
| • | We will need to verify your income. To expedite this process, you may include a copy of your current pay stub, or if you are self employed; two years tax records. |
| • | We will look for good references from both your current and past Landlord's (who are not related to you). |
| • | Satisfactory credit will be accepted. We will run a credit report for each person applying. Application fees are $50.00 per adult over the age of 18 that will be occupying the home. All residents over 18 must be screened. |
| • | When you are approved for a property, or when you are pre-approved and you identify a property, we will accept your deposit to hold (the security deposit plus the nonrefundable processing fee) and rent will start usually within a day or two, and no longer than 5 days when the property is available now. The property remains on the market for other people to apply for it until the deposit to hold is receipted in the office. |
| • | We use a scoring system to qualify residents based on the criteria listed above. Negative credit or references will incur a point against the application. While your score may be sufficient to be approved, you may also be required to pay additional security deposits, depending on your actual score. If your application exceeds the allowable points, we are sorry, but we will be unable to offer you residency at this time. |
