Tenant Screening Process
We work with neighbors and other landlords in the area to enhance the quality of our neighborhoods. We want to assure our current tenants and neighbors that our properties will not be used for illegal activities nor do we want to place individuals in our homes that are not financially qualified and would struggle to meet their financial expenses. Besides investigating an applicant's credit, we also research court records, verify income, interview employers, and interview prior landlords. We do not use a formula to base our decisions on, but handle each situation on a case by case basis.
Because of associated expenses to process your application, there is a non-refundable application fee of $35 per adult. Each adult that will reside in the property must fill out an application (related or non related). We will accept the first qualified applicant(s).
If you meet the application criteria and are accepted, you will have peace of mind knowing that other tenants residing around you are being screened with equal care and you will be able to enjoy the peaceful enjoyment of your new home. Furthermore, the risk of illegal activity occurring in the area is reduced.
Please review our list of criteria. if you feel you meet the criteria, please apply - because we would be happy to rent to you. Also, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask.
Application Screening Criteria
- A complete application. One for each adult who will be residing in the property. If a line is not filled in (or the omission explanation is not satisfactory) it will not be considered.
- Rental History verifiable from unbiased sources. If you are related by blood or marriage to one of the previous landlords listed, or your rental history does not include at least two previous landlords, we MAY require a qualified co-signer on your lease (qualified co-signers must meet all applicant screening criteria). It is your responsibility to provide us with information necessary to allow us to contact your past landlords. We reserve the right to deny your application if, after making a good faith effort, we are unable to verify your rental history. If you owned rather than rented your previous home, you MAY need to furnish mortgage references and proof of title ownership or transfer.
- Sufficient income/resources. If the combination of your monthly personal debt, utility cost, and rent payments exceed 75% of your monthly income before taxes, we MAY require a qualified co-signer on your rental agreement. If the combination exceeds 80% of your monthly income, your application will be denied. The co-signer will have to meet our income and credit requirements. Income must be verified through pay stubs, employer letter, or tax records. All other income, including self employment, must be verifiable through tax records. For Section 8 applicants, the amount of assistance will be considered part of your monthly income for purposes of calculating the proportion.
- Section 8 information access. All section 8 applicants must sign a consent form allowing the Housing Authority to release information from your file regarding your rental history.
You MAY be denied rental if:
- You misrepresent any information on the application. If misrepresentations are found after a rental agreement is signed, your rental agreement will be terminated.
