ALL Applicants Must Fill Out a Pet Application (DO THIS FIRST):
Even if you do not have a pet or animal, every tenant is required to fill out a pet/animal application.

Pet Fees
If you have a pet, you will be required to pay a $30.00 Pet Administrative Fee per pet upon move-in. This is a one-time fee. In addition to this fee, you will also have monthly pet admin fees per pet. The amount of the pet fee is determined based upon the “Paw Score” that PetScreening.com assigns to your pet. This score is determined using a proprietary formula that takes into account things like pet age, weight, vaccination records, etc. The following are the pet rent amounts:
5 Paws – $25.00/mo; 4 Paws – $30.00/mo; 3 Paws – $40.00/mo; 2 Paws – $50.00/mo; 1 Paw – $75.00/mo
Please note in the State of Nevada, landlord insurance companies can restrict coverage for animals with an aggressive past or bite history. In those scenarios, assume your application to rent will be denied without explicit approval in advance from the property owner or their insurance company. In some situations, we may have the option to allow you to provide your own pet liability insurance covering the specific dog and naming both our brokerage and the property owner as additional insured on the policy with at least $250,000 in additional liability coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions:
WHAT’S REQUIRED TO APPLY TO RENT?

• Income verification via secure direct bank account verification. Long gone are the days of needing to upload paystubs! Showing applicants’ net/received monthly income totals at least 3x(three times) the monthly rent. Immediate family may use a combined income of 3 times the rent amount.

WHAT WOULD CAUSE AN AUTOMATIC DECLINE?
If we find evictions in the last 5 years, unpaid balances due to landlords, credit score beneath 580, insufficient income, unsatisfactory references and recent or non-discharged bankruptcies. Unqualified occupants, pets and/or vehicles can also be a reason for decline. Felonies of illegal manufacture or distribution of a controlled substance within the last 7 years, felonies resulting in bodily harm or intentional damage or destruction of property for example, “arson”, within the last 7 Years, or sexual related offenses for any time period.
IF MY CREDIT ISN’T PERFECT, CAN I STILL BE APPROVED?
Applicants with good credit / income / references will be approved at the security deposit amount published in the listing. Those with less than perfect credit can be approved at higher deposit up to three times the rent.
A Co-Signor may be used to assist in the qualification to lease a property. Co-Signors are responsible for all payments and property condition, not just financial liability. Co-Signors must prove 5x the rent in gross income AND have a minimum credit score of 700.
Those with less than excellent credit will also have to pay a Credit Contingency Admin Fee. Based on many years of experience, we have determined that those tenants with less than excellent credit are far more likely to pay their rent late or otherwise default on their lease obligations. This increases our workload, as we have to spend time trying to collect the money from the tenant, and also increases our risk, as it costs us money when rent isn’t being paid or when tenants have to be evicted. The Credit Contingeny Admin Fee helps to offset our costs in this regard. We have implemented a scoring model based upon credit score that determines your Credit Contingency Fee:
Credit Score Contingency Fee
685+ : $0.00
640-684 : $20.00/mo
600-639 : $30.00/mo
580-600 : $40.00/mo
579 & below declined
If there is more than one person on your lease, then the average credit score, rounded to the nearest whole number, will be used for the above scoring model. If an applicant’s credit check returns with no credit score, then a default score of 600 will be used.
WHAT IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS ON THE SAME PROPERTY?
We will process all applications received and approve or decline it. Should we receive more than one application before the first application is approved or declined, we will compare them to each other and select the best qualified or lowest risk for the property owner. That applicant will have 24 hours to bring in a $1000 holding deposit, or we will move on to the next applicant.
IS THE APPLICATION FEE REFUNDABLE?
In order to evaluate the various applications it is necessary for us to expend time and cost in credit reports, criminal reports, and other administrative cost. Hence, our policy that the application fee is NON-refundable. If your application is approvable, but not the approved one for the property for which you are applying, or if another approved application pays the security deposit first, then you can use your application to apply for another property that we have available without paying another application fee for up to 90 days. Under no circumstances will the application fee be refunded.
