*Management reserves the right to modify the acceptable types of documentation or deny any documents that cannot be verified. Some properties may have their own specific requirements, that may be more strict than the company's policies, it is up to the property owner's discretion.*

​

All applicants must have actually viewed the property before applying. Each adult over the age of 18 is required to complete their own and SEPARATE online application. Anyone 18 and over that will be living on the property is considered an applicant and needs to complete an application. Please let us know if only certain adults will be financially responsible on the lease. For minors, we only require their names to keep a count of occupants. Please note that only two person maximum per bedroom permitted.

​

1. TWO (2) different government issued photo IDs for each adult (U.S. state/federal issued ID)

2. Each adult applicant will need to provide us with an email address, so that an online application can be sent to them. The application includes approving the background check.

3. $75 PER Adult (Non-Refundable application fee)

   1. Please note that the application fee is NON-REFUNDABLE and DOES NOT GUARANTEE APPROVAL. The fee covers the administrative cost to offset the screening, time and effort to interview references, license fees, etc.

 

Proof of Income:

1. In general, we require that gross monthly income to equal 3 x the rental rate of the home and that all forms of income must be verifiable.

2. Effective May 2022, we will be requiring all applicants complete their Income Verification through AppFolio's Income Verification screening (partnered with Experian) as part of their application. This secure screening will reduce the time involved requesting your files if you are missing them from your application and reduce fraudulent submissions. If you do not complete this Income Verification screening, it will delay your application review. If you refuse to complete the online Income Verification check, then we’ll require that your credit score is equal or greater than 720 and require 3x the security deposit. CMC Real Estate Group and Manage It ATL do NOT store your information collected during this Income Screening process. If you have any questions, please contact our office.

Co-Signer/Guarantors:
If your application requires a co-signer/guarantor, this person will be signing the lease agreement along with you and they will become legally responsible for the rent along with you. No more than 1 co-signer per applicant will be considered. The co-signer/guarantor must pass the same application and screening process, pay an appropriate application fee, meet all the same requirements as the applicant, have a strong credit rating and verifiable income of at least 5 times the rent.

 

Corporate/Company Guarantors:

If your company is guaranteeing the lease, we generally do not accept company co-signers unless the company is well established and willing to put down a greater amount of security deposit (to be determined after review of a complete application).

​

Employment Verification:

Some employers use a third-party company to verify your proof of employment and thus a fee. Any fees required by third-party companies will be applicant’s responsibility. Alternatively, applicant can request

 

Credit History:

1. Poor credit will not necessarily disqualify you from renting, but a higher security deposit and/or co-signer may be required. If you are aware of any negative reports on your credit history, we advise you provide an explanation with your application for consideration. This will help expedite your application.

2. Previous evictions or dispossessory actions will result in an application denial.

3. When applicable, you may be required to pay a Credit Approval Fee from the following table
   
   Average Credit Score    Credit Approval Fee
   650 - 850    $0
   620 - 649    $200
   600 - 619    $300  
   <599        Automatic denial

** For multiple applicants the scores are averaged.

 

Rental History or Homeownership:
We will verify any previous rental history with your landlord/property manager. We will try to reach out to them, but if they are non-responsive, you can assist us by reaching out to them and encourage them to cooperate with our interview. Any unsatisfactory findings may result in the requirement of additional deposit or application denial. If you previously owned your own home in Georgia or another state, please provide address and verifiable documents.
