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 18 years old or older occupying the home, must complete an application in their own name.
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. Multiple applications can be received and processed. The most qualified applicants will be selected. Your application will remain on file for 60 days if you wish to apply for a different property.
Applications and information received during the application process become the property of Desirable Management. Falsified applications will be rejected without further notice.
Prior to move in you will need to remit your first month's prorated rent, if your move in date is less then 10 days away you are required to make the payment using the payment slip provided. Once approved you will be required to have renters insurance for the duration of the lease.
Once your lease is signed a copy of our lease is always available for review, in your tenant portal.
We cannot guarantee that the unit you have applied for will be available by the time your application has been processed. Your application remains valid for a period of 3 months from the date of approval and will be kept on file.
