General Rental Criteria

Track Record of Good Rental History: Forcible Entry & Detainers (Evictions) will not be accepted under any circumstance. No history of any damage to the residence, or an outstanding balance due to a previous landlord. Rental references can be obtained from professional landlords. Professional landlord references are considered apartment complexes and property management companies. We cannot verify references from individuals. If no professional landlord references can be obtained, a double-deposit will be required.

Verifiable Gross Income: Minimum of 2-1/2 times the rent charged on the residence. Section 8 vouchers and certificates may be accepted. The resident must meet the same criteria as those seeking non-subsidized housing.

Criminal Background Check: Residency may be denied due to criminal history (see Criminal Background Criteria)

Credit History: Credit history cannot have any outstanding balances to a landlord or utility company or active bankruptcy that has not been discharged. Residency may be denied due to poor credit history. Contingent on your credit score, an additional Security Deposit and/or a cosigner may be required. Lower credit scores may need additional compensating factors to obtain approval. Some examples of compensating factors can be: additional professional landlord references, longer amount of time on job, more income than the minimum 2-1/2 times the rent.

Non-Disparagement Clause: You will be required to sign a Mutual Non-Disparagement Clause with your lease. This Clause protects yourself, PMI Professionals, and it’s employees, from disparaging comments, verbally or in writing that could be injurious to business, reputation, property or disparaging comments which are false. (Addendum Attached)

Upon Approval: The applicant(s) will be notified by phone, email or both. Once your application has been approved, you will have 24 hours to submit the required holding fee to secure the property. The holding fee is non-refundable. After the holding fee has been received, you will have 2 weeks to start your lease. To start the lease, all move-in money will need to be paid via certified funds and the lease will need to be executed by all parties. If this is not completed within the allotted time, PMI Professionals reserves the right to process the next application received or consider any other approved applications. An exception to this would be instances where a property is still occupied or the turnover process has otherwise not been completed. Our team will work to determine an estimated timeframe these are properties will be ready for move-in and coordinate that with the prospective residents.

Property Condition: Applicant is strongly encouraged to view the Property prior to signing any lease. Landlord makes no express or implied warranties as to the Property's condition. Should Applicant and Landlord enter into a lease, Applicant can request repairs or treatments (see question section below).
