Application Terms and Conditions

By applying to rent a property from us, you agree to our Terms and Conditions and our application rules and requirements.

Application. Each legal adult, age 18 or older, shall complete and submit a separate application (excluding dependent children) who seeks to reside at the property.

Application Process. Applications are not considered and determined on a “first come, first serve” basis” but rather based on qualifications. Application is deemed submitted when Applicant provides us with all requested information and pays the application fees. We will use due diligence in processing applications and attempt to contact Applicant(s) once determination of approval or denial is made. Applicants will be emailed the result of their application using the email address provided to us by the applicant, typically within three business days from receipt of a fully completed application. However, application processing may take longer depending on the responsiveness of references and other factors. There is no guarantee that Applicant will be accepted before another applicant.

When Application Approved. If your application is approved, we require a lease to be electronically signed by all parties and all move-in funds received within 48 hours from our delivery of our offer to lease. If the home is available for occupancy, the lease beginning date must be within 14 days of application approval. All new residents shall pay a one-time administrative lease preparation fee of $200.00 at lease signing.

A House2home Properties Resident Benefits Package is required with every lease agreement. An additional $45 per month will be charged with your rent as additional rent. Please view the Resident Benefits Package page on our website for more details.

Fair Housing. We are an equal opportunity housing provider and comply with local, state, and federal fair housing laws. All application criteria and qualifications are subject to fair housing laws, with which we comply. If you are a covered person under fair housing laws and you believe you are entitled to a reasonable accommodation, you must submit to us your written request for reasonable accommodation and provide us with information to verify your disability and/or need for reasonable accommodation as required or permitted by law.

Application Factors and Qualifications. To apply, each Applicant must pay a non-refundable application fee of $60.00 by credit card. No application will be processed without payment of all required fees. In general, our consideration for your rental application generally includes the applicant’s:

Terms and Conditions

General. Applicant (“Applicant”, “you”, “your”) hereby grants permission for House2home Properties (herein “us”, “our”, “we”, “Manager”, “landlord”) to obtain and gives all information requested herein, including references, credit records, consumer report, information about character, general reputation, personal characteristics, employment, financial verification, mode of living, and all public record information including criminal and tax records. Applicant giving false, misleading or misrepresented information may result in the application being rejected; will void a lease/rental agreement if any; and/or be grounds for immediate eviction with loss of all deposits and any other penalties as provided by the lease terms if any.

Any incomplete applications may be rejected or denied. All adult applicants over the age of 18 must submit a fully completed rental application and applicable fees, including the application fee. Verbal representations are not binding or effective, but if an Applicant misrepresents a material fact to us, and we rely on that misrepresentation, Applicant may be denied or a subsequent tenancy terminated.

This application is preliminary only; in no way implies that a particular rental unit shall be available; and in no way obligates us to execute a lease or deliver possession of the premises. Time is of the essence.

Advertised Rent. Applicant understands that additional fees or costs may apply during the tenancy in addition to base rent. Applicant understands that market rent values fluctuate and are subject to change at our discretion and that online sources may not necessarily reflect the most current rent amount for the premises applied for. Therefore, Applicant agrees that if an advertisement published a rent amount that is lower than the actual rent required to lease the property, Applicant is not entitled to the lower advertised rent and that we are not bound by the advertised rent amount published.

Fees. Each applicant must pay Landlord a non-refundable application fee of $60.00 for the administrative burdens of processing the application. Applicant understands that these fees will not be returned regardless of whether the application is accepted or denied, the applicant agrees to residency terms and conditions, or the applicant decides not to rent the premises. Applicable Homeowner and Condominium Associations may require a separate application and payment of fees, and if such is the case, Applicant must fully comply or else the application will be denied. Additional fees may apply.

Multiple Applications. Where there are multiple applications for the same premises, we may deny each and/or all applicants based upon one applicant’s failure to meet our selection criteria. All applicants are jointly and severally liable and responsible for all terms of this application, including any fees due or owed. Each applicant must complete an application independently from all other applicants. Application processing is based on a scoring system. If there are multiple, unrelated applicants for the same premises, we will decide which applicant best qualifies for the premises (according to the qualification criteria detailed on our website), which may not necessarily be the first application received. We do not guarantee that the premises for which the applicant is applying permits roommate tenants. All premises are subject to limitations on the number of tenants and occupants that may possess one premises during the tenancy, and we may deny application based on such limitations.

Inspection. Applicant may preview the premises applied for, or Applicant may elect to lease the premise without previewing said premises but must request a physical inspection of the same. If Applicant does not request an inspection of the premises, Applicant waives the privilege to inspect. Applicant also has the duty or obligation to inspect the surrounding area of the premises prior to leasing the premises. Upon request for a showing, we will provide Applicant with instructions to inspect the premises. If Applicant violates or does not comply with the instructions, Applicant waives any privilege to inspect the premises, and we may deny application, and Applicant may be charged a reasonable fee for the added burden and expense of accommodating the Applicant.

Third Party Resources and Information. We use and rely on information provided to by third parties. Applicant agrees and understands that we are not to be held liable or responsible for incorrect or inaccurate information provided to us by such third parties and agree to hold us harmless for and waive any claim or cause of action for damages or injunction based on our reliance of such third-party information.

Selection Criteria. We use our resident selection factors and criteria when determining application approval or denial. Based upon our findings, we may (1) make further inquiries; (2) require additional deposits and/or rent; (3) require advanced rent; (4) approve or deny applications; (5) wait for additional applications before deciding; (6) require conditions be satisfied prior to our accepting an application; and (7) take other actions we deem are necessary to determine applications, and we reserve all rights.

Permission. Applicant grants us permission and authority to inquire (now and periodically hereafter if the Applicant becomes a tenant) into all areas of inquiry as described within this application and referenced documentation and indemnifies and releases us from any liability, causes of action, damages, including attorney’s fees and costs, relating from this authority.

Surrounding and Imminent Conditions. Applicant agrees that we have no duty or obligation, and that any such duty or obligation is hereby agreed to be waived by the Applicant, to provide or disclose to Applicant information about surrounding areas, conditions or persons that may or may not exist outside of the property line boundaries of the rental property of interest to the Applicant, including but not limited to, location, surrounding conditions, crime rates, security, neighbors, flood zones, utility and internet services, public transportation, roadways, schools, institutions, noise zones, sex or violent offenders and that Applicant assumes all responsibilities to research and satisfy himself or herself with all aspects of interest to the Applicant prior to signing the lease agreement. Applicant understands that even if Applicant discovers conditions, circumstances or persons outside of the property line of the premises that is undesired or objectionable, that does not form a basis for terminating the lease agreement. Applicant agrees that if Applicant becomes a tenant of the premises, he or she waives all claims or rights to terminate the lease agreement based on any such undesired or objectionable condition, circumstance, or persons that may exist outside of the property line boundaries of the rental premises.

Appliances and Functions. Applicant agrees that Landlord is not obligated to alter the premises to accommodate a tenant’s particular appliances, such as electrical outlets, connections, fittings, and size, and that Applicant has the obligation to inspect the premises prior to leasing or to make specific inquiry about functions of the premises prior to leasing.

Attorney’s Fees and Costs.

Applicant’s misstatements, whether intentional or not, may result in the denial of occupancy. Applicant understands that due to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 U.S.C. §§ 1681-1681x, he or she will not be furnished a copy of a credit report from us or its members. Applicant may, however, obtain a free credit report from Equifax, Experian or TransUnion if his or her application is denied for credit reasons.
