In this video segment, the speaker outlines the essential qualifications landlords use when screening rental applicants. Applicants must provide verifiable monthly income that meets the landlord’s listed requirement. Every adult applicant undergoes a credit and background check, with the landlord focusing on a history of on‑time bill payments, responsible borrowing, the absence of recent major collections, no outstanding landlord debts, and no eviction judgments. For those who do not meet these standards on their own, the speaker suggests applying with a co‑applicant, using a co‑signer, or contacting the team to explore other available options, emphasizing a supportive approach to finding a viable path forward.

To qualify, applicants must have verifiable monthly income that meets the requirement listed in our criteria. We run a credit and background check on every adult applicant. We understand credit isn't perfect for everyone, so here's what we look for: a history of paying bills on time, responsible borrowing behavior, no recent major collections, no outstanding landlord debts, No eviction judgments. If you don't meet the requirement alone, you may apply with a co-applicant or have a co-signer or ask our team about other available options. We're here to help, uh, find the best path forward.
