Tenant Selection Criteria

Alpha & Omega Rentals is committed to providing fair and consistent consideration to all rental applicants. The following criteria may be used in evaluating applications for our rental properties.

Please review these criteria carefully before paying an application fee or submitting an application.

Application Requirements

Each adult applicant who will occupy the property must complete a rental application and provide all requested information and documentation.

Applications must be complete, accurate, and verifiable. Providing false, misleading, materially inaccurate, or incomplete information may result in denial of the application.

Submission of an application does not guarantee approval or reserve a property.

Identification

Applicants must provide valid government-issued identification and any additional information reasonably required to verify identity and complete the screening process.

Income & Employment

Applicants must demonstrate sufficient, verifiable income to meet the financial obligations of the lease.

Unless otherwise stated for a particular property, combined gross household income should generally equal at least three (3) times the monthly rent.

Acceptable documentation may include recent pay statements, employment verification, tax returns, bank statements, benefit statements, or other reliable documentation of lawful income.

All lawful and verifiable sources of income will be considered in accordance with applicable law.

Credit History

Credit history may be considered as part of the application review.

Alpha & Omega Rentals may consider factors including payment history, outstanding obligations, collections, charge-offs, bankruptcies, and other information contained in the applicant's consumer report.

Credit information may be evaluated together with the applicant's income, rental history, and overall application rather than solely on the basis of a credit score.

Rental History

Rental history may be verified with current and previous landlords or other available records.

Factors considered may include:

  • Timely payment of rent
  • Lease compliance
  • Property care
  • Outstanding balances owed to previous landlords
  • Lease violations
  • Eviction history
  • Other relevant rental-history information

Criminal History

Criminal history may be considered when permitted by applicable law.

Any criminal-history information considered will be evaluated in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local fair housing requirements and other applicable laws. A criminal record does not necessarily result in automatic denial.

Occupancy

All individuals who will reside at the property must be disclosed on the application and lease as required.

Occupancy limits will be determined in accordance with the property's characteristics and applicable federal, state, and local requirements.

Pets

Pet policies may vary by property.

Where pets are permitted, additional screening, restrictions, deposits, fees, or other requirements may apply.

Assistance animals are not considered pets and will be handled in accordance with applicable fair housing laws.

Application Fee

A nonrefundable application fee is required for each adult applicant unless otherwise stated.

The applicable fee will be disclosed before the application is submitted and is intended to help offset costs associated with processing and screening the application.

Screening & Verification

As part of the application process, Alpha & Omega Rentals may obtain and consider information including:

  • Credit history
  • Rental history
  • Eviction records
  • Criminal history, when legally permissible
  • Identity verification
  • Income and employment verification
  • Other information relevant to determining eligibility for tenancy

Applicants may be asked to provide additional documentation when information cannot be independently verified.

Reasons an Application May Be Denied

An application may be denied based on factors including, but not limited to:

  • Insufficient or unverifiable income
  • Unsatisfactory credit history
  • Unsatisfactory rental history
  • Materially false, inaccurate, or incomplete application information
  • Failure to provide requested documentation
  • Certain criminal history when legally permissible and relevant to the tenancy
  • Failure to meet applicable occupancy requirements
  • Other lawful factors relevant to the applicant's ability to satisfy the obligations of the lease

Equal Housing Opportunity

Alpha & Omega Rentals complies with applicable federal, state, and local fair housing laws.

We do not discriminate against applicants based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, national origin, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
