APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Applicants or a designated representative must personally view the property (including the interior) and agree to accept the property in the documented Move-In Ready condition. No consideration will be given to cosmetic concerns raised after submission of an application. 

Any misrepresentations in this application will be grounds for immediate denial of the application and/or termination of any lease agreement entered into as a result of this application. 

Application Fee - $54.00 Per Adult Applicant

All individuals over the age of 18 MUST fill out a separate application if they will be living on the property.

Applications will not be considered until every applicant has filled out, e-signed, and paid for their application.

Applications will be processed in the order they are received and are valid for 30 days.

An associate from the PURE Property Management leasing department may contact you for additional information during the verification process. Please respond promptly so the background verification can be completed as quickly as possible so as not to delay the approval process.

If you need assistance completing the application, you can make an appointment with a PURE team member. 

It is best to complete the application once it is started. Closing the application or browser will lose the information entered and you will have to start over.

If the application is approved, the lease will be dated to start no later than 10 days after the lease draft date or from the date the property is available, whichever is later.  

If your application is approved and you sign a Lease to occupy the property, the first full month’s rent will be due at lease signing. If your lease does not start on the first of the month, any prorated rent amount will be applied to the second month of occupancy.

Prior to the lease start date, the resident must pay all funds due, which may  include, Resident Benefit Package fee, and security deposit or a Security Deposit Replacement Plan fee via the Resident Portal, or with a certified check or money order.

Applicants declare that the use of any residential property will be solely for the purposes of a personal residence by the applicants and their listed occupants.

Smoking or vaping of any kind is not permitted on the property.

All applicants must verify the existence or non-existence of pets or assistance animals through our vendor, PetScreening.com. The link will be emailed to you and you have 24 hours to complete this step.

A valid social security number, ITIN, or proof of permitted stay in the US with a Visa is required for all applicants.  

All applicants must complete identity verification, income verification, employment verification, and non-sufficient funds activity through Verifast. Your application will not be considered if you have not completed this step.  The link will be emailed to you and you have 24 hours to complete this step.

There may be additional application and/or deposit requirements for properties located in a homeowner association or condominium association. Refer to the listing for applicability. 

APPLICATION CRITERIA

Reasons your application could be immediately rejected:

We use TranUnion’s ResidentScore as a part of our screening process. ResidentScore analyzes risk concerning rental screening and credit information to produce a score between 350 and 850. ResidentScore is not the same as a credit score that you might obtain directly from a credit reporting agency. 

A guarantor may be allowed in cases where the applicant’s ResidentScore cannot be determined by Transunion and/or the applicant does not meet the income requirement.  The guarantor must have a verifiable gross income of 4 times the monthly rent, and have an acceptable ResidentScore. 

The gross monthly income of all applicants combined must be at least 3 times the monthly rent. Self-employed applicants may submit a signed previous year's filed tax return to verify income equal to 3 times the monthly rent or show an average bank balance equal to 6 times the monthly rent.

Documentation Requirements

Documentation Requirements may include, but are not limited to:

Pet/Animal Policy

To help ensure ALL of our residents understand our pet and animal-related policies, we require everyone to complete a third-party screening and review process, including applicants with no pets. This process ensures we have formalized pet and animal-related policy acknowledgments and accurate pet/animal records. PetScreening charges $25 per pet for a household pet screening. This Is a separate charge from the rental application fee. There is no charge for the profile created for an assistance animal accommodation request and no charge for the profile created for residents without a pet/animal. A link will be emailed to you to complete a pet/animal application through Petscreening.com

Only pet owners will need to pay the profile renewal fee. Assistance Animal and no-pet profiles renew at no cost. 

There is no fee for verified assistance animals. Monthly fees for pets will range between $50 and $100 per month per pet.  

Only select properties allow pets. The following breeds are not permitted: Pit Bulls, Alaskan Malamutes, Rottweilers, Akita, Chow, American Staffordshire Terrier, and American Bulldog. Doberman Pinscher, Boxer, German Shepherd, Great Dane, Siberian Husky, Wolf-hybrid, Presa Canario, and any dog that has any of the above breeds in their lineage. If a dog has a history of violent behavior it is not allowed on the property. 

Assistance animals which include service animals and support animals are not considered pets and are not subject to any fees. We do require a complete and approved screening via PetScreening.com. PetScreening will request the necessary documentation to verify the assistance animal.   

Lease Terms And Additional Information

Our minimum lease term is 12 months. No short-term leases are available unless the listing provides this option.

Security Deposit Options

At PURE Property Management, we offer two options for security deposits. The first option is a traditional security deposit, where a lump sum is paid at move-in and is held on account for the duration of your tenancy. If your account does not have a final balance due, then the full security deposit amount will be refunded pursuant to the lease terms. 

The second option is our Security Deposit Replacement Program. This program is offered based on eligibility. With this option, you will pay a monthly non-refundable fee for the duration of your tenancy instead of the traditional upfront deposit. No funds will be held to use towards any balance on your account at the time of move out. You as the tenant will still be responsible for any charges assessed at move-out.
