Leasing Guide

Dear Prospective Tenant:

We are pleased that you are interested in leasing one of our homes.  The decision to approve your application is entirely up to the Landlord of the Property in which you are applying for.  Below are the guidelines and requirements of our qualifying criteria so that we may make a recommendation to the Landlord based upon the following factors:

1. Complete the Lease Credit Application:  Applicants must be 18 years of age. All occupants 18 years of age or older must complete a Lease Credit Application, pay all Application Fees and are required to be on the lease as a resident.
    
2. Security Deposit and Application Fees:  An application fee of $40 per applicant and $10 for each additional applicant per person over 18 (money order or Cashier’s Check) is required at the time the application is submitted. 
   Please send  Application Fees to:
   A+ Property Management
   1710 E Pass Road, Suite B
   Gulfport, MS 39507
    
3. Pet Deposit:  If the owner permits a pet, an additional non-refundable pet deposit of $250 ($50 extra for each additional pet) is required per the Landlord’s discretion.  Pets are always case by case.
    
4. Income:  Income must be at least three times the amount of rent.  Two recent pay stubs or if you’re self employed or retired we require a copy of your prior year tax return, W-2 or bank statement.
    
5. Photo I.D.:  All applicants must provide a legible copy of their driver’s license or other approved photo I.D.
    
6. Employment:  A minimum of two years of employment history is required.  A full-time student that does not meet this requirement will require a co-signer.  The co-signer for any applicant must meet all qualifying criteria.
    
7. Rental History:  A minimum of two years of rental history is required (living in a property that is owned by a relative does not constitute a tenant/Landlord relationship for rental verification purposes).  Owning your previous residence can take place of rental history.  Occupancy has to be verifiable.
    
8. Credit:  A Credit Report must be processed for each applicant.

Automatic Decline:  Applicants will be automatically declined for the following:  Anyone having been evicted by a prior landlord for cause; Falsification of application; Invalid Social Security number; Failure to pay Application Fee; Any Application that has not been fully completed, including all pages signed—incomplete applications will not be processed.

Property Acceptance: Prospective tenant(s) are accepting the property in an as-is condition.  Requests for changes to the property must be submitted in writing with the application.  Applicant must submit security deposit and signed lease within 48 hours of acceptance of application.  Failure to do so will result in cancellation of the application.

Thank you for reviewing the Qualifying Criteria and understanding that this is the basis of how the results of your application will be determined.
