INCOME REQUIREMENTS | Most landlords require that applicants earn approximately 2.5–3x the monthly rent in gross (pre-tax) income. This can usually be met through employment income, and in some cases combined income from all applicants on the lease. Income requirements vary by property, but we’ll help you focus on listings that align with your budget and qualifications.
CREDIT REQUIREMENTS | While credit standards can vary by property, most landlords look for a credit score of 600 or higher. Applicants below this range may still be approved, but often require additional documentation or a qualified co-signer. Credit is just one part of the application — factors like income, rental history, and overall profile are also considered.
CO-SIGNER REQUIREMENTS | If a co-signer is needed, landlords typically require the co-signer to earn 4–5x the monthly rent in gross income and have a strong credit profile. A co-signer is usually someone who agrees to take financial responsibility if the lease terms aren’t met, and they must submit an application along with the primary renter.
COMPENSATION & FEES | In most rental transactions, the landlord or property management company pays for my services — meaning there is typically no cost to you as the renter.In some cases, a property may not offer a commission or may require a tenant-paid fee. If that situation comes up, I will always be upfront and transparent before moving forward, and we’ll discuss options together to ensure expectations are clear and agreeable.
