Step 4 - Meeting Rental Application Requirements
Note: I am not a Property Manager, and Lyons Share Real Estate does not have a Property Management department. I facilitate your search for a home to lease. The Property Manager or Property Owner will decide on your rental application.
Common Requirements:
Income: Combined monthly income should be 2-3 times the monthly rent.
Credit Score: Most managers require a minimum credit score.
Background Check: Includes screening for criminal behavior, evictions, and collections.
Application Fees: Range from $20-$100 per applicant, non-refundable, covering background checks and credit pulls.
Deposits and First Month’s Rent:
First month’s rent is usually prorated from the move-in date.
Security deposit, typically equal to one month's rent.
Additional deposits may include cleaning, pet, key, admin, and holding fees.
Tip: Offering double or triple the security deposit or pre-paying rent can make your application more attractive.
By following these steps and preparing the necessary documents, you can streamline the rental process and increase your chances of securing your desired home in Las Vegas.
