Although we strive to process all applications as quickly as possible. Normal processing takes 3-5 business days pending on our volume. However, if your application is inaccurate, incomplete or if verification calls are not being returned, completion will be delayed. If any other application(s) are received for the same unit while your application is in process, delays will occur. Selection by an owner will not be made until all applications have been completed for approval or denial.


Applicants receiving government subsidies may provide alternative verifiable evidence in lieu of credit history. Alternative evidence includes 6 months of utility bills, bank statements, pay records and 36 months of rental history.


• Each person age 18 years and older must fill out an application (including co-signers) regardless of income or lack of, (i.e. student, roommate, etc.) ** Please note that all parties MUST be present at Lease/Contract Signing, unless a prior arrangement has been made!


• Applications MUST be completely filled out including all information for the last 5 years on rental history and employment. If there is a section that does not apply to you, please indicate by printing “N/A”. ** To help expedite the process, names and phone numbers are mandatory to verify your information!


• Gross monthly income MUST equal or exceed 3 times the monthly rent amount. Example: If rent is $2,000, the required income would be $6,000 monthly. Where more than one adult is applying, we look at Combined Gross monthly income. If income requirements are not met, a co-signer may be required upon conditional acceptance by the property owner. NOTE: Not all owners accept co-signers. Please consult the Rental Listing or an agent on this issue prior to submitting your application.
