APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Applicants or a designated representative must personally view the property (including the interior) and agree to accept the property in the documented Move-In Ready condition. No consideration will be given to cosmetic concerns raised after submission of an application.

Any misrepresentations in this application will be grounds for immediate denial of the application and/or termination of any lease agreement entered into as a result of this application.

Application Fee – $54.00 Per Adult Applicant

All individuals over the age of 18 MUST fill out a separate application if they will be living on the property.

Applications will not be considered until the applicant has filled out, e-signed, and paid for their application.

To securely and efficiently verify your income, we will ask you to connect to Nova Credit, and provide access to your income source data – whether by bank or payroll connection, or most recent pay stub upload. Connecting an account will provide only the information needed for us to verify and can greatly assist in expediting your application.

Multiple applications may be received and screened simultaneously until an applicant is approved. Applications are valid for thirty (30) days from the date submitted. If an application is approved but the property is no longer available, the approved application may be transferred to another PURE property for consideration.

An associate from the PURE Property Management leasing department may contact you for additional information during the verification process. Please respond promptly so the background verification can be completed as quickly as possible so as not to delay the approval process.

If you need assistance completing the application, you can make an appointment with a PURE team member.

It is best to complete the application once it is started. Closing the application or browser will lose the information entered and you will have to start over.

If the application is approved, the lease must be signed and the first full month’s rent paid within 48 hours of the lease being made available for review and signature. If your lease does not start on the first of the month, any prorated rent amount will be applied to the second month of occupancy. Failure to meet these requirements may result in the property being offered to other qualified applicants.

Prior to the lease start date, the resident must pay all funds due, which may include, Resident Benefit Package fee, and security deposit or a Security Deposit Waiver Program fee via the Resident Portal, or with a certified check or money order.

Applicants declare that the use of any residential property will be solely for the purposes of a personal residence by the applicants and their listed occupants.

Smoking or vaping of any kind is not permitted on the property.

There may be additional application and/or deposit requirements for properties located in a homeowner association or condominium association. Refer to the listing for applicability.

APPLICATION CRITERIA

  • Applicants may be asked for additional forms of identification if the initial documentation provided does not match our screening records.

Pet/Animal Policy

To help ensure our residents understand our pet and animal-related policies, we require applicants with a pet or an assistance animal to complete a third-party screening through PetScreening. This process ensures we have formalized pet and animal-related policy acknowledgments and accurate pet/animal records. Your application will not be deemed complete until this screening is successfully completed.

PetScreening charges a fee per pet as noted on their website for a household pet screening. This is a separate charge from the rental application fee. A link will be emailed to you to complete a pet/animal application through Petscreening.com. This screening fee does not apply to assistance animal profiles.

Only pet owners will need to pay the profile renewal fee. Assistance Animal profiles renew at no cost. If a dog has a history of violent behavior it is not allowed on the property.

There is no fee for verified assistance animals. An increase in rent for pets will range between $30 and $80 per month per pet.

PURE Property Management requires all residents with pet(s) to obtain pet liability insurance. PURE offers pet liability insurance coverage through YRIG or you may purchase insurance through a third party and send us proof of coverage. Insurance obtained through a third party must meet or exceed $40,000 in pet caused injury coverage and $1500 pet damage coverage.

Only select properties allow pets. The following breeds are not permitted: Akita American Bulldog, Chow, Doberman, German Shepherd, Husky / Siberian Husky, Malamute, Mastiff / Bullmastiff, PitBull / PitBull Terrier / American PitBull Terrier, Presa Canario, Rottweiler, Staffordshire Terrier / American Staffordshire Terrier, Wolf / Wolf Dog / Wolf Hybrid, and any dog that has any of the above breeds in their lineage.

Pet liability insurance is not required for assistance animals which include service and support animals as they are not considered pets. We do require a complete and approved screening via PetScreening.com. For an assistance animal, you must also upload your documentation verifying the need for your assistance animal(s) in accordance with HUD’s guidelines. For multiple assistance animals, documentation must specify the need for each animal. Your application will not be deemed complete until satisfactory documentation for each requested assistance animal has been uploaded.

Lease Terms And Additional Information
Our minimum lease term is 12 months. No short-term leases are available unless the listing provides this option.

Security Deposit Options
At PURE Property Management, we offer two options for security deposits. The first option is a traditional security deposit, where a lump sum is paid at move-in and is held on account for the duration of your tenancy. If your account does not have a final balance due, then the full security deposit amount will be refunded pursuant to the lease terms.

The second option is our Security Deposit Waiver Program. This program is offered based on eligibility. With this option, you will pay a monthly non-refundable fee for the duration of your tenancy instead of the traditional upfront deposit. No funds will be held to use towards any balance due from you on your account at the time of move out. You as the tenant will still be responsible for any charges assessed at move-out.
