How This Works - Verification Process - Upon return of your completed application(s) to me and you finish the Credit and Background Checks:

 

• After you have finished both steps - Step #1 - filling out the application for every applicant age 18 or older who will be living here, turning it in and meeting me in person / taking a house tour and Step #2 - completing the Credit and Background Checks, we will try very hard right away to verify all of the information on a completed application(s) in the order received as soon as it is returned to me in person (Nicole).  First Come, First Serve.

• We require UP TO 4 business days to verify all the information on each application.

• Due to unforeseen circumstances in wait times for a response, it might take us UP TO 4 business days to verify.

• IF  we can verify ALL of the information on each application before the 4 business days goes by, I might have an answer sooner,  BUT there is no guarantee as we have to do our due diligence in the verification process.

• If we try to verify all of the information on the application(s) and we are unable to verify the information within 4 business days, or if you do not pass all of the screening requirements, the application process will end and the next person(s) in line will have their application(s) considered.

• ​

• IF your application(s) is/are approved, you have 48 hours - 2 days - to meet in person with me (Nicole), sign lease and money exchange for keys.  Otherwise, the next applicant(s) in line will get the opportunity to rent.  

 

Denial of Tenancy:

​

• If any applicant misrepresents, falsifies or misleads with any information on the application or turns in a non-completed application without any verifiable information as requested ( an incomplete application ), we will deny.

• If there is any criminal conviction that threatens others or personal property, including any abuse towards animals, the application is automatically denied.

• If we are not able to verify any information that was provided to us by an applicant, this is a denial.  We try very hard to verify the information that is given.  However, after we keep trying and are still unable to verify information, the application will be denied.

• Bottom line:  Honesty is ALWAYS the best policy.  Thank you!
