APPLICATION

This page is for application info.

PARTS OF APPLICATION:

• PRE APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS.

• APLICATION INSTRUCTIONS.

IMPORTANT.
1. Application has 3 parts; Form, Support Docs, Background Check w/Fee.
2. Without all parts an application is not complete.
3. Applications are given priority in the order received.
4. Applications that submitted partially and incomplete are often overtaken by applicants that quickly provide the complete application package.
5. The goal is to proceed quickly with tour, application, and signed lease.
6. Collecting applications is not the objective.
7. Advertising and tours continue until application and lease is finalized because not all applications are approved and sometimes approved applicants back out so later applicants may still be offered a lease.

WHEN TO APPLY.
1. Applicants feeling enthusiastic about a property should apply immediately.
2. Frequently multiple applications are received before first scheduled tour.
3. In other cases a property may be available for some time but then
receive multiple applications simultaneously.
4. Applications received simultaneously are screened equally and a lease offered to the most qualified applicants.
5. The application requests some personal info so it’s understandable if applicants want to wait until after meeting in person and seeing property.
6. Hesitant applicants may fill out a tour questionnaire that is shorter and with less personal info than the application.
