Rental Criteria
How applications
are evaluated.
The criteria below apply to every applicant. There is no application fee.
- Monthly rent
- $1,500/month, utilities included. Fully furnished.
- Lease terms
- Month-to-month, 6-month, and 12-month lease options available.
- Income requirements
- Gross income of at least 2× the monthly rent — currently $3,000/month or $36,000/year. For applicants using a housing subsidy, this applies to the portion of rent the applicant is responsible for paying.
- Income verification
- One recent pay stub for employment income. Employment is not the only acceptable lawful source of income — if you don't receive pay stubs, you can provide another form of income verification.
- Rental history
- Name and a phone number or email for your previous landlord or property manager. If you haven't had one, you can say so on the application.
- Tenant screening
- Third-party screening is not run when you apply. If we move forward after an in-person meeting and walkthrough, I may request screening through TransUnion SmartMove (SmartCheck Basic), which returns a ResidentScore and a Criminal Background Report.
- Occupancy
- To be determined
- Pets
- Dogs and cats may be considered. Pets are considered individually, and the applicant and pet may be asked to meet the owner during the in-person meeting before a final decision. An approved pet may involve an additional cost, which will be disclosed before the applicant commits to the rental. Ordinary pet requirements and pet charges do not apply to assistance animals where prohibited by law.
- Move-in requirements
- First month’s rent and security deposit due upon signing the rental agreement.
- Portable tenant screening reports
- Colorado applicants have the right to provide a portable tenant screening report. If you have a qualifying portable tenant screening report completed within the previous 60 days, you may provide it with your application. There is no application fee to apply for this rental and you will not be charged a fee for the landlord to access or use a portable tenant screening report. Providing a portable screening report does not guarantee approval. The report will be considered along with the rental criteria described on this site.
- Application process
- Application submitted → owner review → in-person meeting and property walkthrough → third-party screening if moving forward → final decision.
