An applicant must demonstrate a consistent and hopefully verifiable history of being a good, responsible tenant or previous homeowner. Additionally, the applicant must meet standardized financial criteria.
Once an applicant expresses their desire to rent or lease a property, they are given a Tenant Information Application to complete and return with funds for credit and processing. Once we receive the completed application and funds, our selection process may include an investigation of an applicant’s history by checking out:
* PROOF OF INCOME (Please bring us copies of your pay stubs when submitting an application. )
* RENTAL HISTORY AND/OR MORTGAGE PAYMENT HISTORY
* LANDLORD REFERENCES
* CREDIT REPORT
* DRIVER LICENSE VERIFICATION
* PROPERTY TAX SEARCH
* EMPLOYMENT/INCOME HISTORY
* OTHER FACTORS
If all of the above information is verified satisfactorily, we then schedule a sit-down interview with the applicant(s) to go over the application (make sure there are no open questions) and the lease/rental agreement (to let the applicants know what will be required of them as tenants.) If the owner wishes to be a part of this interview process, they may. If they do not wish to be a part of the interview process, we will do the interview on the owner’s behalf and then will call them with a recommendation and/or other related information (*). The owner can then make a tenancy selection decision and we will notify the applicant(s) accordingly.
