OUR PROCESS

---

We utilize a point-based scoring system to determine applicant eligibility on an objective basis.

Our basic criteria for tenancy includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Minimum 620 FICO (credit) score with satisfactory payment history and no items in collections (local, qualified, co-signer may be considered for those with limited credit history)
• Proof of gross monthly income that equals or exceeds 3x total monthly amount due (includes any utility bundles, pet fees, or any other applicable fees)
• Zero evictions, judgments, or liens filed against you
• Positive professional references from past and present employers and/or landlords
• CLEAN housekeeping abilities
• No bankruptcies in the last 7 years
• Satisfactory criminal/background check (the nature, severity, and recency of any criminal convictions will be carefully and individually considered to ensure an equal housing opportunity)
• First, Last, Security, and Lease Signing Fee Needed for Move In (must have total amount ready at the time of application to be considered)
• We will require renter's insurance
• **This is a general overview of our rental policy. If you would like a formal copy of our rental policy with a full & descriptive list, please reach out to request such.**

Due to the rampant amount of no-show appointments, we have decided to begin charging a nominal fee of $10 for showings. 100% of this non-refundable fee gets donated to charity so this is not out of greed, but rather to hold folks accountable to appointments and ensure an earnest amount of interest is present in potentially securing the home/apartment.

We recommend if you are in the early stages of your search, that you wait until you are further along in your search before touring one of our properties in person. Our reps often work evenings and weekends to accommodate your schedules. We are not tour guides and we want you to be as serious as we are at the time of showing. Please respect their time.

 All of our properties have video tours you may watch under the "For Rent" tab along with room dimensions. Please check this out BEFORE requesting a showing.

Please DO NOT request a showing if you will not have your move-in funds (approx. 3x rent) ready to go before the showing. We may ask for proof of funds prior to showing.

As we approach the 10-year anniversary of the death of Beverly Carter, safety is our #1 priority. For the safety of our representatives, we will NOT show a property without a completed showing request form. It is not an application. It is a quick 2-minute basic online form that costs nothing to complete and doesn't ask for any credit or payment information. It is simply so we understand who we are dealing with and ensure you meet basic tenant criteria. It will ask for a photo of your ID. Please have this ready as you complete the form. We will NOT show a property without it. If the person on the ID doesn't match the person we pull up to at the property, you will not be seeing the property. (If you reside out of state and have someone else looking at properties for you, we can accommodate, we just need copies of both individuals' IDs).

If you have funds ready to go, have seen the video walk throughs, and are super serious about seeing the place in person:

1. Complete the quick Showing Request Form below (Free To Do)
2. Wait for us to confirm you are pre-qualified (takes typically less than 24 hours)
3. Once pre-qualified, simply pay your $10 showing fee via Venmo (@KodiakPropertiesLLC), CashApp ($KodiakPropertiesLLC), or PayPal (@kodiakpropertiesllc). DO NOT PAY THIS BEFORE GETTING THE 'THUMBS UP' FROM US TO DO SO!
4. We will reach out to get you scheduled! 

If you decide to move forward with a property, that is the point where all adults intending on living in the residence will submit a full background and credit check at their own expense for final approval ($45/adult). If you are ready to proceed with this step now, full applications can be completed here. Applications are typically processed within 24-48 hours. Otherwise, you may simply request a showing below.
