Application Policies
Thank you for considering Rent Smart Property Management, we appreciate the opportunity to serve you! Please review the following guidelines carefully. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us, as we want you to have a clear understanding of the process.
A $40.00 non-refundable application fee must be submitted with each rental application. Each adult occupying the home, whether part time or full time must complete an application in their own name.
Once approved you will be required to have renters insurance for the duration of the lease.
Applications are processed in the order received and must be accompanied by the application fee and supporting documents in order to start processing. It is understood that more than one set of applications may be taken on the property. Please be advised the burden of completing the application and providing the required additional documentation is on the applicant. Incomplete applications will delay the process and could result in rewarding the property to another applicant, or even denial.
Applicants are not considered on a first come first served basis. Multiple applications qualifying on the same property is based on a best-qualified basis using a scoring system and on the property owner's needs.
Applications and information received during the application process become the property of Desirable Management. Falsified applications will be rejected without further notice.
