Who Fills Out the Application? 


Anyone who is 18 or older has to fill out an application.

A national credit and background check, current employee / income verification, several years past rental history including eviction search, a proven proprietary method for generating honest responses to open ended questions regarding the tenant's situation, and payment of application fee

Alternative for (SSN): 


Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), on rental application put this on the line stating: “other identifying information” 



I have poor credit? What are the requirements, will this stop my application from being accepted? 


How much is the application fee? 


$79 and it includes a background check and income verification in instances where simple 3rd party verification isn't available.  



Can I receive a refund for my application fee if I do not get approved or moved to the next step of the process? 


Application Fees are non-refundable from the time they are submitted, and we submit fraudulent chargebacks to collections with clear evidence.




How long does it take to process my rental application? 


If you need a particularly quick response, note this in your application and we will set a 24-hour time limit for the owner to either accept or we will decline and move on.
