Four minutes from Chuck, then the same steps in writing.
Everything we know about a home is on its listing: bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, rent, photos and sometimes a video. We serve two markets, so make sure you are looking at the right area.
Check the availability line too. If a listing says pending approved applicant, someone is already approved and you take a risk by applying behind them. Nothing fit today? Join the mailing list on the rentals page.
Everyone 18 or older who will live in the home applies, pays the application fee, and is screened for credit, criminal and eviction history. The application fee is the actual cost of screening. It is usually not refundable once screening has run. There is no fee if you give us a portable screening report.
After you submit, complete a profile at PetScreening. There is a pet profile, an assistance-animal profile and a no-pet profile, and every applicant needs one of the three on file.
The first approved applicant gets the lease. You then have 24 hours, not counting weekends and holidays, to sign it and pay the security deposit before we move to the next approved applicant.
Your application stays active for 60 days. If the home you applied for is gone, tell us and we will move your application to another available property at no charge.
Check the listing first. Whether a home allows pets is the owner's call. If it does, complete the pet profile on PetScreening. There is a pet inspection fee and a higher monthly rent for pets. Pet policy
No pet fees and no pet rent. Tell us about the animal through PetScreening or directly on your application, whichever you prefer. How assistance animals work
Sometimes. A guarantor is required for applicants who are both under 21 and a Traditional Student. A Traditional Student is under 25 and enrolled full-time as an undergraduate directly from high school or within one year of it. A Traditional Student under 21 may pay a double deposit instead of having a guarantor. A Traditional Student 21 or older with little income or credit may use a guarantor. The guarantor applies, pays the application fee and is screened so their information can be grouped with yours. About guarantors
We look at the whole picture, so put the details in the application. Some applicants are approved with a higher security deposit.
A set of benefits built into every lease: identity theft protection, utility setup help, tenant liability insurance, credit reporting for on-time rent, and more. The FAQ has the full list.
Our applications are run through a third-party company called RentEngine. Call them at 305-741-2550.
