Application Fees are non-refundable

We have you fill out a rental application. This application will check your criminal, eviction, and credit history. We also require you to provide proof of income.

We typically receive multiple applications on the properties as soon as they go on the market, and we look at completed applications first. 

Most applications take 24 to 72 hours as we do hire a professional screening company to verify employment, income, rental history, credit, and check for any criminal history. Please note that we cannot process your application until all documentation is received.

In these instances, the Reservation Fee is forfeited to the landlord as liquidated damages. The landlord will not seek to recover all rent due under the lease.
