Rental Criteria

Real Estate Gallery Property Management complies with all equal housing laws and will not discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin or handicap.  Applications must be complete and accompanied by the required application fee in order to be considered. Vicious-breed animals will not be accepted.

Once submitted, application processing normally takes 1-2 business days, and applicants will be contacted upon approval or denial. Once approved, prospective tenants must complete all leasing requirements, including payment of the security deposit, payment of the lease fee and signing a lease, in order to secure the property. All payments prior to move-in must be made in the form of certified funds, i.e. a money order or cashier’s check. No personal checks will be accepted prior to move-in, and no cash payments will be accepted ever.  

To Apply:

• All adults 18 years and older who will be residing in the rental property MUST submit a separate application, regardless of employment status.
• Separate email addresses are needed for each applicant.
• Each application must be accompanied by the non-refundable application fee of $50.
• Applicants’ combined income must equal at least 3 times the monthly rent amount.
• A copy of photo I.D. or passport must be provided upon application approval.
• Proof of income must be furnished upon request.

*Some fees may be higher in some instances, and all fees are subject to change. Any instance involving a higher standard fee will be disclosed prior to application. If an applicant does not meet our selection criteria after the full application has been reviewed, UPON OWNER APPROVAL, an additional security deposit or advance rent may apply in order to extend an invitation to rent.

**A move-in date on the 1st of the month would require the full months’ rent to be paid at the time of move-in. From the 2nd to the 19th of the month, the pro-rated amount from the move-in date to the end of the month is due at move-in. A move-in date of the 20th or later requires the prorated amount PLUS the full following month’s rent to be paid at move-in.
