We are screening for Credit Scores at or above 650, although we do take into account several levels of information in an individual inquiry. Note also! If you apply through Zillow, and have paid Zillow for that service, we can send you an invitation to "Apply Now", after you tour by appointment. If you have paid for Zillow's service, there is no further charge screening. If you have not paid for Zillow's service, our credit and background check is listed as $65 per applicant/tenant. Upon acceptance (approval) of an application, your group must be ready to sign a lease within 72 hours in order to stay qualified for the property. Security includes last month's rent. No Sublets. $450 non-refundable cleaning fee. Owner pays for 1 (Larger) trash bin service monthly (overflow/extra is tenant responsibility), provides light landscaping (lawn, trees). Tenant pays utilities, and is responsible for snow removal on the private areas. The property will begin accepting completed applications at the start of the Open Application Period, beginning Saturday, July 19 at 10 AM, in accordance with Portland City Code 30.01.086. Applications can be submitted via Zillow, or on paper (the app fee for a third-party "paper" application is $65 and is non-refundable) During the Open Application Period, completed applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis, determined by the time of receipt of a fully completed application and payment of the application fee. If you apply on paper, the non-refundable $65 screening fee is used to cover a bonded third-party screening service, which evaluates financial, rental, and legal background factors. If applying on paper (non-Zillow), the application may be obtained and fee may be paid in person by appointment at our office, or during scheduled property tours. Scheduled tour times are Saturday, July 19 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and Sunday, July 20 from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. While all parties do not need to attend a tour to submit an application, at least one member of a party should tour. A "completed application set" includes fully submitted applications and fees for all adults intending to reside at the property, whether legally related or not, and/or any co-signers if applicable. Applications are not deemed complete, and will not secure priority in the application queue, until all co-applicants in the group (and co-signers, if required) have submitted completed applications and all required screening fees have been paid. If responses on the applications are incomplete, unclear, delayed or unprocessable, the application might not secure priority until satisfactory. If co-signers are required, they must register/pay with Zillow or request paper applications.
