Applications

All prospective tenants 18 years old or older (including spouse if married) must provide a signed and completed application. A background check and rent and employment history will be run on each individual adult applicant. A copy of a government picture ID and a non-refundable application fee of $50 (cash, money order, or cashier's check) must accompany each application. A Social Security number is required to apply (for credit verification).

All information in the rental application(s) regarding employment, criminal, credit, and landlord history must be verified before a decision on the application can be made. A decision on an application may be delayed due to delays in the verification process. This could result in the home being offered to another applicant who submitted their application later but the information was readily verifiable, which concluded in being able to make a decision of approval or disapproval and offer of home prior to another earlier dated rental application.

Regarding multiple applications for tenancy, from multiple unrelated, current or future, roommates*

While each member of a domestic partnership, who are legally or contractually bound, must fill out an application and be screened, with regard to qualifying based on income, their income will be considered as joint.

However individuals who are not a member of a domestic partnership with one of the other applicant(s), they must qualify as individuals with regards to income as well as the other criteria.

Therefore multiple roommates, who may have a combined income that meets the income selection criteria, will not qualify if each individual does not meet the selection criteria independently of the other applicants.

The potential tenant occupant(s) must qualify without cosigners. Therefore applications for tenancy consideration that need cosigners to meet selection criteria will not be accepted.

Each new potential applicant(s) presents unique sets of circumstances. The property owner reserves the right to adjust selection criteria as new considerations are presented.

Renter's Insurance must be carried and verified.

Prior to signing a lease the tenant must acquire a Renter's Insurance Policy.  

Information to be verified for each adult applicant 18 years of age or older:

Income*

Monthly income must be 3.25 times the amount of the rent payment ($3413/mo or $40950 annual). All applicants and prospective tenants must have a minimum of two years stable, verifiable employment.

The applicant must be: (a) currently employed full time and must have been employed for at least 18 months out of the 24 months preceding the date of the application(s); or (b) elderly or disabled. Full time employment shall mean at least 30 hours of paid employment per week.

Employers who refuse to verify Applicant(s) income or length of employment may cause rejection.

Self-employed applicant(s) whose income is necessary to qualify to rent must provide copies of six months of bank statements and the last two years of complete IRS tax filings to show stable income.

Other income shall be verified by third party documentation or by documentation submitted by the applicant which in management's sole determination is deemed necessary.

Depending on the strength of the application, Government assistance/Section 8 may be considered for this property but must be verifiable with the San Antonio Housing Authority (SAHA).  The tenant is responsible for any rent that isn't covered by housing assistance. Prospective tenants planning to use housing assistance will be screened like another other applicant.

Residence History*

The applicant(s) should have verifiable third party rental history with non-related family/friends for at least 2 years preceding the date of application(s). Applicants may be disapproved if landlord references, credit report, or court records indicate, but not limited to, any of the following:

• Failure to pay rent, damages, or other sums when due
• Repeated late payment of rent or mortgage.
• Disturbances, loud noise, fighting, physical violence and/or threats of physical violence against persons and/or property, drug related activity, gang related activity, and/or other conduct, which violates the right of quiet enjoyment by applicant, occupants, household members, guests, visitors or invitees.

A complete investigation of credit history of each applicant will be made and will require a satisfactory rating.

• Cannot have any recent re-possessions.

The applicant(s) credit history must show the ability to pay rent on time. The applicant(s) may be disapproved if an applicant(s) credit report, landlord references, or court records show that the applicant or the co-applicant(s), if any, owe outstanding collections, judgments, or contain evidence that a debt or sum of money is owed to any of the following: 

• Current or prior landlord
• Utility provider
• A provider of telephone, cable, gas, or other service generally provided to a residence.

Generally a credit score of 625 or higher will be fine.  A credit score below this may require the applicant to provide their credit report.

Any felony

Recent Drug or DUI Arrest

Crimes against people or property

Exceptions

At the property owner's sole discretion the requirements followed by  ( * ) may be waived if the prospective tenant pays a significantly higher security deposit (2 to 3 times the posted security deposit) and/or a special situation exists regarding a requirement that is not met. The amount and/or final determination will be made by the owner and will depend on each individual situation.

Procedures for Notifying Applicant(s) of Approval or Disapproval

Applicant(s) shall be disapproved if we are unable to verify income; rental, credit, or criminal history. False, incomplete, or misleading statements or omissions on the application(s) will result in disapproval of the rental applications(s). Falsifying information to obtain property or credit is a Class A misdemeanor.

We will notify you by email or phone listed in your application whether you've been approved within seven (7) days after we have received a completed application. Your application will be considered "disapproved" if we fail to notify you of your approval within seven (7) days after we have received a completed application. You must not assume approval until you receive actual notice of approval.

The first Applicant who:

1) meets all the requirements above,

2) agrees to the deposit and rental terms within two business days of notification,

3) provides the appropriate deposit, plus applicable pet deposit, plus first month's rent, all paid in cash, money order, or cashier's check within 2 days of agreement, and

4) signs the lease agreement

will be accepted as the Renter. Upon move-in, Renter will sign the one blank Inventory and Condition form and have 3 days to complete, sign and return a second Inventory and Condition Form to Lessor. If the second form is not returned within 3 days, the first signed blank form will go into the Renter file. Renter pays for any maintenance and/or damage to the property. Refundable deposit(s) will be refunded at the end of the lease, minus expenses for damaged or missing items. Early termination of the lease may cause loss of deposit(s).
