READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE YOU SCHEDULE A SHOWING
Please review the Rental Criteria before you submit a rental application. There is a $35/adult non-refundable application fee and ALL adults residing in the property must apply. We will (1) verify your identification; (2) check your credit report, unless you receive a Government Rent Subsidy and request to provide verifiable alternative evidence instead of a credit report no later than when the application is submitted; (3) verify your household income and employment, if applicable; (4) verify your rental history with previous landlords; (5) we will conduct a nationwide search for eviction records; and (6) run a criminal report. Most applications are processed in 1-3 business days from the date we receive a completed application and all supporting documentation.

Security Deposits are calculated using a risk-based model. Applicants who meet all the Basic Criteria may be approved at the advertised security deposit amount. Applicants who do not meet the Basic Criteria but exceed the Minimum Criteria may be approved with a higher security deposit, not to exceed the legal maximum. Security Deposits for active-duty military and properties subject to AB12 cannot exceed 1x the rent. Prior to move-in, proof of a current renters insurance policy with SRE listed as an Additional Interest and coverage of at least $300,000 for personal liability must be provided.
Please DO NOT APPLY if your credit score is below 680, your household income is less than 3x the asking rent, you have ever been evicted, you have negative rental history, or your pets do not comply with this property’s pet policy.

If you have a Government Rent Subsidy and elect to provide verifiable alternative evidence of your reasonable ability to pay rent instead of a credit report, make that selection in the application. All verifiable sources of income will be considered. Pursuant to CA Gov. Code 12955(o), the income multiple is based on the amount of rent that will be paid by the Applicant (not the total rent amount) if the Applicant has a rental voucher or other housing subsidy. Please review the Alternative Verification for Applicants with Government Rent Subsidy Document to determine what we require to accomplish that.
