Application fees and Income Proof Information

  • Non-refundable application fee of $60 per applicant (This includes one income verification. More than one income to verify will require an additional fee. Please let us know when you apply). Applicants are lease holders. If more than one person wants their income to count towards the qualifications, they must submit their own separate application. Income can be combined to qualify, but both individuals’ credit, eviction and rental history must meet our qualifications.

  • MULTIPLE APPLICANTS: Is there going to be more than one lessee applying/on the lease? Please apply separately. If any other applicants intend to apply for a property with you, on each application please put the other applicant’s name in the additional comment section. Do Not put the other applicant under additional occupants or you will be charged for their background check twice @ $20/occupant.

  • The additional occupant section is only for dependents ages 18+  – an adult dependent occupant is an authorized occupant, not responsible for the lease term. We will not include their income during the application process. Anyone wanting their income included on the application MUST be a leaseholder and fill out their own application.  These adult dependents (non-applicant) age 18 or older require an individual criminal report for an additional $20 through Resident Research LLC.

 

Verifiable income information

  • Many employers will not verify the salary of their employee over the phone, so you may be asked to provide a recent pay stub. Verifiable income is income that can be proven with a pay stub, tax filing, or other legal document.

  • If you are self-employed, you will need a copy of the last 2 years of tax returns.

  • If you are retired, we will need a recent bank statement and last year’s tax return.

  • If your Employer used a Work Number to verify your employment status, the applicant will need to pay $20 to Resident Research for verifying the employment status through Work Number.

*ALL APPLICATION FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE*
