Tenant Screening

The Tenant Screening Process

  • All applicants must be over the age of 18.
  • A non-refundable fee of $45 must be paid to process the application.
  • Each occupant over the age of 18 must complete an application.
  • Married couples need only pay one fee but each person must fill out an application form.
  • We will request information to verify employment and employment history.
  • All applicants must provide at least two sources of identification including one piece of photo identification.
  • Previous rental history will be examined and references are required.
  • If the applicant has been a homeowner over the past 2 years we will ask for proof of ownership and mortgage payment history.
  • All applicants must submit to a credit check and a criminal background check.
  • It takes 3 to 5 business days to verify all the information provided.
  • If an application is denied the applicant(s) will be notified by mail.
  • Tenants income must be 3 times that of the monthly rent.

If Pets are allowed we will require the following;

  • Proof of all vaccinations
  • Photos of the pet
  • An interview with the pet to determine its temperament and to confirm its identity
  • You will be asked to provide references about your pet from past landlords

Note

Any negative reports on an applicant's background check may result in denial.

Negative reports include

  • Illegal practices--felony or drug charges
  • Bankruptcy--poor payment history
  • Eviction

During Tenancy

  • Any activity in or around the property that could be considered harmful, illegal or a disturbance to any neighbor's peaceful enjoyment of their property whether caused by the tenant, a roommate, guests, friends, family members, or pet(s) can and will result in the termination of you tenancy and eviction.

*Our tenant screening is performed by an outside source that specializes in credit, criminal, and civil background checks.
