Requirements to Lease

Are you looking to lease a property? At our real estate firm, we have specific requirements to help you secure the right property for your needs. Here's what you need to know:


  • Application Fee: To begin the leasing process, our third-party application processor charges a non-refundable application fee of $49.95. Application Link


  • Credit Score: We require a credit score of 650 or higher for all potential tenants.


  • Proof of Income: We require tenants to have a monthly take-home income of at least three times the monthly rent. If you have a roommate, half of your income must be three times your portion of the rent. You will need to provide proof of income for the last three months.


  • ID: You must provide a valid government-issued ID to complete the leasing process.


  • Rental History: We require a rental history check to ensure you have been a responsible tenant.


  • Move-in Fee: A non-refundable move-in fee equal to a half month's rent is required before you can move in.  Sublease Fee: A non-refundable $200 administrative fee is required once a sublease is approved and the lease addendum is signed.


  • Co-signer Application: If you are a student or unemployed, you may be required to have a co-signer.


  • Student Loan Documentation: If you plan to use student loans to pay rent, you must provide documentation.


We understand these requirements may seem daunting, but they are designed to help protect you and ensure a smooth leasing process. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're here to help you find the perfect property for your needs.
