All applications, background checks, and income verifications are processed securely through our dedicated Baselane portal. Please send a direct message to request a tour and receive the official application link. The application fee is paid directly to Baselane for the cost of running the reports. This property accepts comprehensive reusable tenant screening reports. You may apply directly through Zillow. Once approved, the lease signing and rent collection will be managed securely through our Baselane portal. Rental History Each applicant must demonstrate a minimum of 12 months of verifiable, positive rental or mortgage history from a non-relative housing provider, indicating a pattern of meeting lease obligations and leaving prior rented properties in good order. Significant adverse rental history such as an eviction filing within the last 5 years, property damage, or unpaid balances to previous property managers or owners will disqualify an applicant. Applicants with limited or no prior rental history may require additional payment security, such as a qualified co-signer or an additional deposit, subject to state installment guidelines. Income History Wages, assets, or verifiable housing subsidy assistance are accepted as evidence of the ability to pay rent. The combined gross household income must meet at least 2.5x the monthly rent amount. If the household income does not meet this threshold, a qualified guarantor or an additional security deposit may be needed. Applicants will use Baselane's secure bank-verified income tool during the application process, or they may upload their 2 most recent pay stubs, an official income verification letter, and/or bank statements from the past 90 days (if operating an independent business or earning non-wage income). Credit History A full Equifax credit report is generated securely through Baselane to evaluate the applicant's credit history and ability to pay rent when due. Applicants must have a minimum credit score of 650, with no open bankruptcies or recent accounts in collection. A guarantor or additional security deposit may be needed where the applicant's credit history falls in the 'medium risk' range or lacks sufficient history. An applicant will be declined if their credit history indicates high risk, such as recent unsatisfied judgments or housing-related debt. Criminal History A criminal background check is required for all applicants aged 18 and older. If criminal history is found, it is not an automatic disqualification; an individualized assessment of the applicant's criminal history will be conducted in accordance with fair housing guidelines. An applicant may submit mitigating evidence of good conduct, rehabilitation, or changes in circumstances that have occurred since any conviction or recent criminal activity for consideration.
