Additional Information About The Application Process

Vacant Homes: All leases on vacant homes must begin within 14 days of application approval. We are unable to hold the home rent-free without a lease agreement longer than that time. 

Lower Than List Price Offers: Wanting to offer less than the list price for the home will cause your application to be delayed or rejected.

As - Is Condition: Please be advised, per the application, that you are applying for this home in its current “AS IS” condition. The owner MAY not approve any further expenditure for improvements of any kind.

Multiple Applications: All applications will be processed, and the property owner will choose from among the acceptable applicants. We do not give preferential treatment to any application submitted first. The owner may accept any application until a Lease is signed.

SCHOOL BOUNDARIES: School Enrollment concerns should be investigated prior to submitting your application. Applicants must verify their own school information with the school district. Because of the expansive growth in this region, school enrollments get capped and designation boundaries may change. We highly recommend you contact the local school district should any of the school boundaries be a concern for the home you would like to rent. 

IT IS THE DUTY OF THE APPLICANT TO VERIFY SCHOOL BOUNDARIES

Tenant Agent Commissions: Should you choose to indicate a Realtor is representing you on your application, and the home you choose to lease is NOT offering a Tenant Realtor Commission - you may end up having to pay your Realtor directly out of pocket. We advise all applicants working with a Realtor to carefully read your Buyer / Tenant Representation Agreement and consult with an attorney if you have any questions or concerns. 

Employment: We require verifiable employment history for at least the past three (3) years. You must be a permanent employee (not temporary or probationary). If you are self-employed, retired, or not employed, we can accept such documents as signed tax returns (2 years minimum), bank statements, etc. that provide proof of applicant’s ability to pay the rent. If military, we need a current copy of your LES. If you are active-duty military, you must be on an assignment that, to the best of your knowledge, will allow you to complete an initial 12-month lease.

Residence History: We require verifiable residence history for at least three (3) years whether you currently own or rent. Applicants are responsible for providing information including the names, addresses and phone numbers, of Landlords with the dates of tenancy for the previous 3 years. Rental history must be verified from unbiased sources. Home ownership will be verified from a current credit report. We can accept base housing as rental history. Any evictions within the previous 3 years will be automatic grounds for denial. Broken leases will be considered on a case-by-case basis and an additional security deposit may be required.
