Frequently Asked Questions.
How
long will it take to process my application?
We process
applications as quickly as possible. Often, however, we have to wait for return
phone calls from landlords and employers. We must verify your employment, rental
history, and credit. We need the last two years of history from your landlord(s).
This can be the most difficult part of your application to verify. We will call
you if we are having trouble obtaining any information. If we cannot verify
information we will move on to another application.
What
other reasons hold up the processing of my application?
If we
already are processing someone else's application on the property you apply for,
your application may have to wait for that application to be completed. It could
take up to 2 days for us to start processing your application.
How
can I help to make it easier to process my application?
Make sure
the name of your landlord is the owner of the property or the property
management company. Providing daytime phone numbers can shorten the turnaround
time when messages have to be left. Be certain to be as complete as possible
with all information on the rental/credit application.
When
will I hear from you once I turn my application in to your office?
Plan on 2
working days. We will at least call and tell you the current status. If your
application is being processed you will be communicated with as soon as we need
your help or when we complete the processing. If your application is not being
processed due to other applications being processed ahead of yours, you will not
hear until we either start processing yours or we call to let you know that the
property has been rented ahead of you. If we do not process your application, we
will refund the application fee. We need ONE CONTACT per household. We cannot
call every roommate.
Can
I get my application "PRE APPROVED"?
If you
want to get pre approved before you locate a property, write "Pre Approval
Request" on the application in the "Desired Rental Address" section near the
top. We will process your application and call you when complete. You can then
select a property that you qualify for. Pre approved applications do not receive
a refund of any processing fees paid even if a suitable property cannot be
located.
What
if I have special circumstances that I need to tell you?
Put your
special circumstances in writing with your application. Bad credit, bad
rental references or no rental references will probably result in a rejected
application. In some cases we can accept no rental references if you have good
credit and a co-signer. But our houses normally require both good credit and
rental references or history of property ownership. Each property may be
different depending on the rent amount and the owner's requirements.
