Tenants are key to our property management business. Yet as property managers, our primary responsibility and loyalty is to the owners of the properties we manage. The owners we work for are hard working fair minded people who have often saved for long periods of time to make a significant investment in rental property, and are committed to providing comfortable and safe properties for tenants to live in. It is important that we find responsible tenants who pay on time and treat property with the utmost care. When the owner-manager-tenant relationship works well things work out well for everyone.
Security Deposit
Each property owner is free to set their own security deposit requirements, but generally security deposits are equal to one month’s rent. Most owners also require last month’s rent to be paid upfront as part of the security deposit.
Lease Term
Generally leases are one year (12 months) unless otherwise agreed upon.
Qualification Process:
- Application completed out by someone over the age of 18.
- Copy of government issued photo ID (e.g., Driver’s License or passport).
- A copy of two most recent pay stubs.
- Proof of legal residency if you are not a U.S. Citizen.
We look at four main categories when determining the overall strength of an application:
- Employment History/Income – Gross monthly income should be at least 3-4 times the monthly rental amount as verified by your two most recent pay stubs. Applicants with less than 6 months employment history may be required to pay an additional deposit or have a co-signer.
- References – Current and previous landlords may be contacted to obtain information on your payment history, fulfillment of lease obligations, and overall care of the property.
- Credit History – Major credit reporting companies may be used to obtain a copy of your credit history and score. Generally applicants with less than a 630 FICO score will not be considered.
- Public Records – Public records may be searched to determine whether or not an applicant has had a history of bankruptcy, judgments, collections, evictions, criminal activity, fraudulent checks, etc.
