Renting can be a smart bridge.

Renting is often best when you’re relocating, renovating, saving for a down payment, timing is uncertain, or credit issues need time to improve. If you’re weighing rent vs. buy, we’ll help you map the tradeoffs without pressure.

Your tenant application package

  • ID verification

  • Proof of income/employment documentation

  • Credit/financial documentation as requested

  • References (if requested)

  • Funds for required deposits/fees (as applicable)

  • Pet documentation (if relevant)

  • A short availability/move-in note
