RENTER’S GUIDE

RENTAL QUALIFICATIONS

To ensure the effectiveness of the approval and renting process, it is the policy of Ally Property Management & Real Estate that an application must be approved before a showing will be scheduled.

Please read these guidelines before turning in your application to request a showing.

All application and background/credit check fees are non-refundable. Fees collected are equivalent to the costs of processing the application.

Once an application has been received, the process begins immediately. The income will be verified, rental history will be gathered, a background check will be run, and a credit report will be pulled.

Applications are processed on a point system and scored based on factors including, but not limited to, rental history, income, employment, eviction history, criminal history, resident/credit score, and credit payment history.

Although generally faster, we strive to process applications within 3 business days of receiving the application.

If you are unsure about applying for a property, please contact the leasing agent to discuss your situation with them before applying. The agent may email/message you a link to a virtual tour of the property and further steps to continue.

We do not "hold" properties for applicants. After gaining an approved application status, an applicant can schedule a showing and make an offer to lease the property. Please be prepared to pay all move-in expenses when you want to make an offer to sign a lease.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• If you are a co-signer, please do not fill out an application until the person with the most rental and credit history and who will be occupying the property has applied first. The person you are co-signing for will tell you when it is time for you to submit your application as a co-signer.
