Before Requesting a Tour
Thank you for your interest in our Riverside Avenue rental. Since we personally manage the property, we like to learn a little more about prospective tenants before scheduling showings. When submitting an inquiry, please complete the Renter Profile and share a brief introduction, including:
-Who would be living in the home
-Where you are moving from and what brings you to the area
-Your desired move-in date and preferred lease length
-Profession/employment information
-Whether you currently have any pets or anticipate having pets during the tenancy
-Whether anyone in the household smokes
Financial Guidelines
To help ensure the home is a comfortable financial fit, we generally look for:
Strong credit history (typically 740+ FICO)
Gross household income of approximately 3x the monthly rent ($25,050/month; approximately $300,600 annually)
Verifiable assets may also be considered at the owner's discretion
Credit score and income are only part of the overall review. We also consider rental history, references, assets, and the complete application.
We do not require income verification documents before a showing. If you decide to move forward after viewing the home, we will request supporting documentation such as proof of income/assets and references.
Providing this information upfront helps us make the process more efficient and ensures the home is a good match before scheduling appointments.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to hearing from you.
