How We Screen Rental Applicants
At Carod Properties, we use a consistent screening process and third-party screening services to help evaluate rental applications. All applicants are evaluated using our current Qualification Guidelines and in accordance with applicable fair housing laws.
Here are the main factors we consider:
Credit History
Applicants must meet the minimum credit requirements listed in our current Qualification Guidelines. We review credit history as part of the overall application.
Income Verification
Applicants must have combined gross verifiable income of at least three times the monthly rent. We accept various forms of documented income, including employment income and other qualifying income sources.
Rental History
We verify residential history to help confirm an applicant's rental and payment history. Our current guidelines require 24 months of positive, verifiable residential history.
Eviction History
Applicants may not have a current eviction or an eviction within the previous 24 months, as outlined in our Qualification Guidelines.
Criminal Background Screening
Applicants age 18 and older are subject to criminal-background screening. Criminal history is evaluated using established screening criteria and applicable law. A criminal record does not automatically result in denial simply because a record exists.
Consistent Screening Standards
Our goal is to apply the same qualification standards consistently to every applicant. Applications may be approved, denied, or approved with additional lawful conditions based on our published criteria.
Carod Properties is committed to Equal Housing Opportunity and does not discriminate based on any characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.
Before applying: Please review our current Qualification Guidelines for complete requirements, documentation, and application information.
