How quickly will an application take to be approved?
It depends on how quickly a tenant gives us all the needed information and documentation to start the process. Once we have a complete application and requested documentation. It could take a week to forty five days to approve an application. It depends on how long it takes to get our verification documents back.
We understand that applicants might not want to pay our non-refundable application fee. It’s important to know that your application fee is not a price-gouging tool to collect more money from prospective renters. But rather it adds value and security to the rental application process and will save everyone time and money in the future. Just having prospective tenants fill out a rental application isn’t enough – there are more precautions landlords should be taking.
Can co-applicants and roommates be charged as well?
Yes, we charge an application fee per-applicant that is going to be on the rental agreement. Because, we need to run a separate screening report on each individual. Our application fee is the same for everyone.
