It is entirely possible that Sunset Palms Property Management may receive multiple applications from unrelated individual applicants on the same property at approximately the same time. If such is the case, we will process all applications for consideration as to what we (in our sole discretion) deem the best applicant, which may not necessarily be the first application received. In such cases, more than one applicant may be approvable, however only one will eventually be approved. Because we represent the best interest of the rental property, we will accept the best application, which may not necessarily be the first application received. In order to evaluate the various applications, it is necessary for Sunset Palms Property Management to expend time and cost in credit reports, criminal reports, and other administrative cost. Hence, our policy that the application fee is nonrefundable. If your application is approvable, but not the approved one for
the property for which you are applying, you may consider applying for other available properties that we may have, without payment of an additional application fee.
Current occupancy standards of Sunset Palms Property Management are a maximum of 2 persons per bedroom. Sunset Palms Property Management also prohibits the rental of a dwelling to more than two (2) unrelated adults.
