Each individual (18 years and older) applicant must apply and each must pay a $75 application fee. Valid ID required.
Submit proof of income (pay stubs or tax returns) showing all adults combined monthly totals at least 3x monthly rent.
Provide 3 years of accurate landlord references (note: per FACTA Identity Theft regulations, we report false landlord references to credit bureaus and local law authorities.)
If you have pets, a digital photo of you with your pet(s) must be submitted. (Please see ‘Pet Screening” section for additional information on pet fees and breed restrictions).
If we find evictions, unpaid balances due to landlords, credit score below 500, insufficient income, unsatisfactory references, and recent or non-discharged bankruptcies. Unqualified occupants, pets and/or vehicles can also be a reason to decline.
Clients with good credit/income/references will be approved at the security deposit amount published in the listing. Those with less than perfect credit can be approved at up to a double security deposit. You are not required to pay the last month’s rent at move in. A risk mitigation fee will also be required.
All lease transactions involve risks. To mitigate this risk for both landlord and tenant, Shoe Realty, Inc. routinely visits the property and reviews and documents the condition of properties before, during, and/or after each tenancy, ending most security deposit claim disputes before they begin. Offering an approval based upon total credit score below a 650 comes with even more inherent risk to the landlord and property manager. Much like with Apartment Communities, an approval can be offered even to tenants with less than perfect credit, as long as they can pay an additional fee associated with their credit scores to offset the risk involved.
| Average Credit Score (all adults) | Fee Due at Lease Signing |
|---|---|
| 650-850 | None |
| 620-649 | $200 |
| 600-619 | $350 |
| 551-599 | $500 |
| 300-550 | Declined |
We process applications in the order they are received. Once processed your conditional approval or denial will be communicated to you. For Approvals: In order to secure the property for you and your family you are strongly encouraged to pay your holding deposit as quickly as possible. Additional applications will be processed as they are received. The first applicant(s) to pay the holding deposit will be awarded the lease and the property will be taken off the market. Other applications may be offered a backup position if they were already processed. If the approved applicant does not follow through with renting the property, the holding deposit may be retained to cover expenses from when the home was removed from being actively marketed. The payment of a holding deposit will give the applicant no more than 30-days to move into the home, unless prior approval in writing was given to the applicant.
To evaluate the various applications, it is necessary for Shoe Realty, Inc. to expend time and cost in credit reports, criminal reports, and other administrative costs. Hence, our policy that the application fee is NON-refundable. 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.

Upon receipt of your rental application and application fee, you can expect and hereby authorize that we will do the following:
Once you have been notified of your approval, you must place (at a minimum) a holding deposit, equal to at least one month’s rent, within 24 hours of your approval notification. Once approved and payment of the holding deposit is paid, your holding deposit is non-refundable. In the event you fail to enter into the lease agreement or refuse to take possession of the property on or before your applied for beginning rental date, you shall forfeit these funds as liquidated damages. Due to the high demand for rental homes, we will not hold the property you applied for off the rental market unless you provide the required holding deposit. If you do not comply with this requirement, we may rent the home you applied for to someone else.
All applicants must see the interior of the property before an application can be submitted. The property must be accepted in “AS IS” condition before an application can be accepted, except where there is a written agreement for maintenance or repair items. Any such maintenance or repair request (if any) must be written and included with your application under “Other Items Requested”, in the contract to lease a portion of your application. If your maintenance and repair request(s) are acceptable to Shoe Realty, Inc., then that agreement will be written in the lease or lease addendum. Verbal representations are non-binding. In the event the manager should receive two or more related applications for the same property, the applicant understands the manager may select the applicant desiring the property in “AS IS” condition, over another applicant requesting maintenance or repairs.
All initial funds, the holding deposit, first month’s rent, and security deposit must be paid through the tenant portal at least 7 days in advance. Subsequent months MUST be paid using the online tenant portal.
To qualify for the advertised security deposit amount you must meet the following criteria. If your credit, residence history, or income does not qualify, you may still be approved but at a higher security deposit amount and increased risk mitigation administrative fee.
Applicants must have a combined gross income of at least three (3) times the monthly rent. Incomes must be verified in writing, the applicant may provide recent pay stubs. A minimum of three year’s residential history is required. Rental history must be rated satisfactory or better, with no record of evictions. We reserve the right to require a co-signer/guarantor and/or higher security deposit. Co-signers are accepted at the manager’s discretion only, must meet all requirements independently.
Credit history and/or Civil Court Records must not contain landlord judgments, eviction filings, landlord collections, or liens. We will NOT provide you with the credit report or tell you of its’ contents; however, we will provide you with the name of the credit reporting agency so you may receive a copy from the credit bureau. All information collected for the approval or denial of this application is considered confidential in nature and for company use only.
All lease transactions involve risk. To mitigate this risk for both landlord and tenant, Shoe Realty, Inc. routinely inspects the condition of the properties before and after each tenancy, ending most security deposit claim disputes before they begin.

Much like with Apartment Communities, an approval can be offered even to tenants with less than perfect credit if they can pay the additional fee associated with their credit scores to offset the risk involved.

Some Homeowner and Condominium Associations may require a separate application. If such is the case, you must also apply separately to such association and approval by the homeowners or condo association is a necessary pre-requisite to our approval of your application. Any exceptions to these criteria will need to be submitted in writing to Shoe Realty, Inc. for consideration. If approval is then given for such exceptions, additional security deposit, co-signers and/or “higher” rent may be required.
Rents quoted are the rental amounts due if paid online, on time, (on or before the 1st of each month by 5:00 PM)

Security deposits are security for faithful performance by tenants of all terms, covenants, and conditions of the lease agreement and tenants may not dictate that the security deposit be used for any rent due. Unless claimed due to a breach of the lease of damages, the security deposit is refundable when the tenants move out of the property at the expiration of the lease term. This security deposit may be used towards cleaning, carpet cleaning, damages, etc. as per the lease. Residents shall still be liable for amounts for damages, cleaning, etc. that exceed this security deposit amount.
