What To Know Before Applying for a Rental Home
All adult applicants 18 and older must submit a fully completed, dated, and signed rental application and pay the application fee.
You will need to create a pet profile as part of your application. Please follow the directions on the application when asked to create your pet profile. Every applicant must do this, even if they are applying in a group and do not have a pet.
Shortly after paying for and submitting your application, you will receive a link to upload your income documentation to our third-party income verification service.
No rental property will be held vacant for more than two (2) weeks unless approved by ES Property Management.
Current occupancy standards are a maximum of 2 persons per bedroom, except for infants under 4 years of age.
Incomplete applications will not be processed.
The Application Process
Upon receipt of your rental application and application fee, we will:
Check your credit report
Check the public records for any past interactions with the eviction process
Verify your employment
Verify your previous rental history and references
Conduct a criminal background check
Security Deposit Determination
We use a risk-based deposit model.
The security deposit will never be less than one and a half months' rent. In some cases, we will ask for a higher deposit (up to 3 months' rent) depending on several factors detailed in our rental requirements.
However, to lessen the burden of a traditional security deposit, ES Property has partnered with Rhino Insurance, a security deposit alternative.
Credit Score-Based Risk Mitigation Admin Fee
All lease transactions involve risk. Offering approval based upon a total credit score below 700 comes with more inherent risk.
However, we can offer approval even to tenants with very low credit as long as they can pay the additional fee associated with their credit scores to offset the risk involved. If there are co-applicants, there is only one Risk Mitigation Fee per lease.
Risk Mitigation Admin Fees for Applicants:
Note: any credit score under 580 (330-579) will be automatically declined due to bad credit. A co-signer cannot assist an applicant with a credit score below 580.
A co-signer can only assist if an applicant has no credit. However, a credit score above 580 does not automatically guarantee acceptance.
