Select your role and state, we'll take you to the right portal.
What we look for, written down, so you know where you stand before you pay anything.
Read this before you apply. If you meet the criteria below, apply with confidence. If something here worries you, call us first and ask rather than paying a fee and hoping, because the fee is not refundable.
| Requirement | What it means |
|---|---|
| Income | Combined gross income of all applicants at least three times the monthly rent. Gross means before tax. |
| Credit | A FICO score of 650 or above. We read the full report, so collections, judgments and delinquent accounts count too. |
| Application | A complete, signed application from every occupant aged 18 or over. Every line filled in. |
| Application fee | 50 dollars per adult applicant, in every market. Not refundable. |
| Photo identification | A driver licence, state ID, passport or permanent resident card. |
| Proof of income | Recent pay slips, or an employer letter on company letterhead. If you are self-employed, your last two years of tax returns. |
| Rental history | Verifiable from unbiased sources. A landlord who is related to you by blood or marriage cannot serve as your only reference. |
| Evictions | No eviction judgments on record. |
| Criminal history | Assessed individually, considering the nature of the offence, how long ago it was and evidence of rehabilitation. We do not apply a blanket ban. |
| Security deposit | Due by cheque, card or bank transfer when you sign. Amount varies by property and by state. |
| Smoking | In a smoke-free house, outdoors only. In a smoke-free flat or condominium, nowhere on the property. |
We do not accept cash, for anything. The application fee, the deposit and your rent can be paid by cheque sent to us, or by card or bank transfer through the portal. Paying through the portal is faster and gives you a receipt immediately.
Applications are processed in the order we receive them. If someone ahead of you qualifies and takes the property, we will tell you, and we will look at what else we have that fits. We do not hold a property without an approved application and a deposit.
The full process, including how co-signers work and what happens after approval, is on our policies and procedures page.
50 dollars per adult applicant, the same in every market we operate in. It covers the credit, background and eviction search and it is not refundable, because we begin the search as soon as we receive it.
The combined gross income of everyone applying needs to be at least three times the monthly rent. Gross means before tax. Income has to be verifiable through pay slips, an employer letter or tax records.
650 or above. We look at the whole report rather than the number alone, so collections, judgments and delinquent accounts are also considered, but 650 is the threshold.
Everyone aged 18 or over who will live in the home, whether or not they are related to each other, and each pays their own 50 dollar fee.
We do not accept cash. You can post a cheque, or pay by card or bank transfer through the portal.
On some properties, subject to approval. A co-signer completes a full application, pays the same 50 dollar fee and has to meet the same credit standard.
