Application & Rental Screening: To be approved to Rent any GWM property, you must complete our Rental Screening Application. By completing this Rental Application, you agree to the following:
1. A Credit screening to include FICO score
2. A Criminal Background Screening
3. A review of your rental history
4. A review and verification of Income (available to pay the Rent)
Please be prepared to pay the application fee as outlined on the property listing per application page. We require you fill out (1) application per adult occupying the Property. In addition to this rental application, you will also be required to provide a copy of a valid form of identification and proof of income.
Additional information needed to complete the rental application include: (3) years of residential history as well as contact information for your rental references. Information on your monthly income (paystubbs or personal bank statements); and please note that our properties require that the applicants combined gross income is at least 2.5 times the monthly rent amount.
Resident Benefit Program & Tenant Concierge: Our Resident Benefits Program (“RBP”) and Tenant Concierge service delivers savings and convenient, professional services that make taking care of your home second nature. By applying, Applicant(s) agrees to be enrolled in the RBP; this includes paying applicable cost of $360 at first lease signing and $36/month for any future lease renewals; all payable with rent.
Pest Assurance Program: Our Pest Assurance Program, powered by Pest Share, is an innovative pest control service that provides an effective, on-demand, and targeted reactive approach to pest control in full replacement of traditional preventative pest control programs. Each household will be enrolled in the Pest Assurance Program and all its benefits; this is all payable with rent.
Damage Waiver Program / Personal Contents Policies: Each Resident listed as a FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE TENANT on the Lease is required to maintain (at a minimum) Landlord Liability Insurance or Equivalent Damage Waiver Protection program (“Policy”). The policy is required to be for a minimum of $100,000 in liability coverage with a deductible no more than $1,000 per incident. GWM Tenants will have Damage Waiver Protection (“DWP”) & Personal Contents Program (“PCon”), with no Deductible, available as a part of their lease. Tenants may choose to provide their own Insurance policy or waiver program, terms and conditions as applicable, and not the DWP+Pcon Programs.
Pet Policy: **PETSCREENING IS A REQUIRED PART OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR ALL APPLICANTS - EVEN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A PET: https://goldenwest.petscreening.com/
The Annual Pet Screening & Policy Affirmation fees are as follows: “No Pets” - $0; “ESSA” - $0; “Yes Pets” - $20 per Pet; Additional Bank and credit card fees may apply. Discounts for multiple pets and early screening renewals may apply.
A welcoming environment is paramount to all of our residents with or without pets as well as animals. To help ensure 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 your housing provider.
After you complete your application, you will receive an email from PetScreening where each resident will need to complete the PetScreening Profile and verification (regardless of whether you have a pet or not). Pet Deposits and Fees are based on scored received from the PetScreening application.
Utilities: Each property has utilities that include a service cost in addition to the monthly rent. The utility charges vary based on monthly usage. Manager will provide Tenant a list of utilities that Tenant shall place into their name and pay directly to the utility company as well as a list of the utilities that the Tenant is not able to put into their name (if applicable), but is responsible for paying each month in addition to the base monthly rent.
Additional Services: Landscaping, Pool, Spa, Alarm, etc… are additional services that may be the responsibility of the Tenant to pay for in addition to the base monthly rent. The charges vary based on type service and monthly usage. Manager will provide Tenant a list of additional services that the Landlord will not pay for and the Tenant (if applicable) is responsible for paying each month in addition to the base monthly rent.
