Frequently Asked Tenant Questions

Each occupant over 18 years of age must complete an application and show valid government issued ID or proof of legal residence status with a visa. Providing false and/or misleading information are grounds for rejection of an application, loss of any application fee, and a basis for termination of the lease if subsequently discovered. Any co-signers must complete the application process and prove income 4x the monthly rent.

Applicants must provide proof of monthly net income equal to a minimum of 3 times the monthly rent. (EXCEPTION: On properties with monthly rent less than $500, applicants must provide proof of monthly net income equal to a minimum of 2 times the monthly rent.)

Income will be verified by one or more of the following as required by management:

• Pay-stubs for a minimum of the last 30 days for each applicant.
• Self-employed must submit prior years filed tax returns for Corporate Rentals.
• Offer letter from new employer with contact information for verification.
• Official records proving retirement, disability, social security, alimony, pension and or child support benefits etc.
  NOTE: Unemployment will NOT be considered as proof of income.

If negative rental history (including, but not limited to, evictions, late payments, current, or past outstanding debts to previous landlords, etc.) is found, then application may be denied, or subject to an increased security deposit at CrestCore’s sole discretion. If CrestCore is unable to verify rental history, additional documentation may be requested.

Criminal Background checks will be performed on all applicants. Applicants with a Credit Score below 500 will be denied.

Applicants for Commercial properties will be required to provide a copy of their Certificate of Insurance for Commercial General Liability. The limits of such a policy must be no less than $1,000,000 dollars and $1,000,000 for each occurrence.
