  • Application
    Anyone 18 years of age or older must submit a rental application. Bruce Croskey Real Estate only processes applications after receipt of a completed application. A completed application includes submitting the online Tenant Application form for all household members, submitting proof of income documents, Rental History, and paying the application fee. It is the Applicant’s responsibility to provide supporting documents and fee. All Applicants must see the interior of the property before an application will be processed. The property must be accepted in “AS-IS” condition before an application can be accepted, except where there is written agreement for maintenance or repair items. Verbal representations are non-binding. In the event that the manager receives two or more unrelated applications for the same property, the Applicant understands the Landlord may select the Applicant desiring the property in “AS IS” condition over another Applicant requesting maintenance or repairs (this does not apply if the request is related to accessibility accommodations).
  • Occupancy Guidelines
    The following occupancy standards apply based on 2 persons per bedroom, plus one per home. 1 Bedroom = 3 Persons; 2 Bedroom = 5 Persons; 3 Bedroom = 7 Persons; 4 Bedroom = 9 Persons; 5 Bedroom = 11 Persons. These occupancy standards do not apply to anyone protected under the Federal Fair Housing Guidelines as they relate to familial status. Familial status is defined as “one or more individuals (who have not attained the age of 18 years) being domiciled with a parent or another person having legal custody of such individual or individuals; or the designee of such parent or other person having such custody, with the written permission of such parent or other person. The protections afforded against discrimination on the basis of familial status shall apply to any person who is pregnant or is in the process of securing legal custody of any individual who has not attained the age of 18 years.” Bruce Croskey Real Estate reserves the right, however, to limit occupancy in unique situations due to the physical limitations of the property (for example, limitation of the building’s sewer and electrical systems) and state and local building codes that impose their own set of minimum space requirements per occupant.
  • Age
    All Applicants who will be responsible for paying rent must be listed as tenants on the lease, be 18 years of age or older and pay the nonrefundable Application Fee ($45 per person except as prohibited by law). All occupants 18 years of age or older who will live in the property but will not be responsible for the rent, must be included in the Application, pay the nonrefundable Application Fee and are required to be listed on the lease as occupants. Occupants who are younger than 18 years of age at the time that you complete the Application do not need to pay the application fee, but are required to be listed on the lease as occupants.
  • Credit Check
    We will request a credit report on all applicants to verify credit worthiness. We require a minimum average combined credit score for all Applicants of 500 or above (for example, if one applicant’s score is 480 and the other applicant’s score is 560, the combined average credit score is 520); however, we do not disqualify tenants solely for not having a credit history.
    • Please note: If the average combined credit score for all Applicants is between 500 and 550, we will require payment of security deposit and first and last month’s rent prior to move-in.
  • Criminal Background Check
    A criminal background check will be conducted for each applicant and occupant aged 18 years or more. A conviction for the illegal manufacture or distribution of a controlled substance is cause for an automatic denial of an application. Criminal convictions relating to violent acts, crimes of dishonesty or breach of trust or matters of similar nature or severity may be cause for denial of an application. In addition to the nature and severity of the conviction, Landlord will consider factors including, without limitation, the amount of time that has passed since the relevant conviction and whether such conviction could reasonably be deemed to be indicative of a potential risk to safety and/or property.
  • Income
    Our standard income approval requires applicants to provide proof of verifiable gross household monthly income of at least 3 times the rental amount. Total rent payment per month cannot be more than 33.33% of the applicants’ combined gross monthly income. Standard approval applicants will only need to pay security deposit and first month’s rent prior to move-in.
    • Please note: Applicants who do not meet the standard requirement but can provide proof of verifiable gross household monthly income of at least 2.5 times the rental amount can be conditionally approved. Total rent payment per month for conditionally approved applicants cannot be more than 40% of the applicants’ combined gross monthly income. Conditionally approved applicants will need to pay security deposit and first and last month’s rent prior to move-in.
  • Rental History
    • Please note: Proof of rental payments does not apply to applicants who owned their own home for the 6 months prior to the lease term.
  • Guarantors
    A guarantor will be required for applicants that are students or who cannot provide proof of verifiable income, but otherwise meet all other application requirements. Guarantor must meet the following requirements: Credit – Credit score of 650 or higher Income – Income is at least 4 times the rent Guarantors are restricted to family members who assume responsibility for all payments pursuant to the Lease.
  • Pets / Animals
    You are required to disclose in your application all pets that will reside in the property. Pets will be approved on a case-by-case basis. Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Staffordshire Terriers, German Shepherds and Dobermans are not permitted on any Premises and we have the right to restrict other breeds or specific animals at our sole discretion.
