By applying, applicants accept the below Resident Qualification Criteria:
All Adult applicants over the age of 18 must submit a fully completed residency application and be named on the lease, provide proof of identity (Driver’s License, Passport or state ID) and a non-refundable application fee of $50 for each adult (paid online at this site or by money order/cashier’s checks only in person). Application can be completed online or applicant can request a paper application which must be completed, dated, signed and submitted.
If multiple applications are received, the most qualified applicant will be approved, not necessarily the first application received. Once approved, an application reservation fee must be paid in the amount of one months rent in the form of a cashiers check or money order to hold a property and take it off the market. Until the application reservation fee is received, the property is still available to other prospective applicants. In the event the application is approved and applicant fails to enter into a lease, the applicant shall forfeit this reservation fee. Application reservation fee will be credited towards payment of the first months rent upon move-in.
Applicants should have a combined gross income of at least three/four times the monthly rent. Self-employed applicants may be required to produce upon request 2 years of tax returns or 1099s. Salaried or Hourly employees must provide pay stubs for the most recent 30 day period. Non-employed individuals must provide proof of income.

PETSCREENING IS A REQUIRED PART OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR ALL APPLICANTS: A welcoming environment is paramount to all of our residents with or without pets as well as animals. To help ensure that ALL of our residents understand our pet and animal-related policies, we use a third-party screening service and require EVERYONE to complete a profile. This process ensures we have formalized pet and animal-related policy acknowledgments and more accurate records to create greater mutual accountability. If you need accommodation in another way, please contact us prior to finalizing your application. Please get started by selecting a profile category on our landing page: https://orlandorealtysolutions.petscreening.com/
