We have developed what we believe to be the fairest way of processing and approving applications. Many companies gather several approvable applications and then cherry-pick the top candidate. We don’t play favorites. Rather, we approve the first complete application that meets the qualifications.
We understand that nobody likes to be turned down. It’s the worst. The information on this page should guide your decision to apply. If you choose to apply, please make sure to gather all your documents in order to quickly complete your application. Remember, we accept the first COMPLETED application.
In this economy, we often receive many applications for a single property. To avoid unnecessary application fees, we may close the application portal for a specific property after receiving several applications. You may call or text our office to check the status before applying.
It generally takes 3 business days to process an application, and sometimes longer if additional information is required.
Applications are processed by a third-party company, Findigs (findigs.com). The application fee of $75.00 is paid directly to Findigs and is non-refundable under any circumstance.
Each resident 18 and older must submit an application. Applications are incomplete until each adult has submitted an application and all supporting documentation.
Supporting Documents
The following documentation is required for each applicant and should be attached to the online application. Photos or screenshots of the following must be legible to qualify.
Credit Requirements
To determine satisfactory credit-worthiness, we obtain a credit report for each applicant.
Income
The combined NET income of all financially responsible applicants must be equal to or greater than 2.5 times the monthly rent. (See example below)
When applying, you have several options for validating your income:
1. You may link your bank account information, which is the fastest and preferred method. Linking your account is completely secure and confidential. Your password is never revealed or stored.
2. Or, you may upload your paystubs or bank statements. We will only accept full PDF copies of statements. We do NOT accept screenshots or pictures. Please note this method may delay the verification process.
Self-employed applicants may be asked for additional documentation.
Income Example: 234 Conner’s Way rents for $2,000 a month. To qualify, an applicant would need to NET at least $5,000 a month (The monthly rent x 2.5).
Angie and Steven are jointly applying to lease the home. Angie’s net income (what she earns after taxes are deducted) is $3,000 a month. Steven’s net income is $2,800 a month. Their combined monthly income is $5,800, which is greater than 2.5 times the monthly rent. So, Angie and Steven’s combined income is sufficient for this property.

Pet-sitting for friends or relatives is never allowed. If you currently own a dog or cat please do not apply for a property that has a “no pet policy”. Pet policies are strictly enforced.
