Rental Requirements

Thank you for your interest in renting a property managed by Metropolitan Real Estate Solutions. Please review the following requirements before submitting your application.

Application Requirements

Each applicant 18 years of age or older must:

• Complete a separate online rental application.
• Pay a $95 non-refundable application fee per adult.
• Authorize a credit and background screening.
• Provide a valid government-issued photo ID.
• Provide documentation to verify income and employment.
• Provide rental history and landlord references, when applicable.
• After you submit your application, you will receive an automated email at the address on your application asking you to authorize the credit and background screening. If you do not see it, please check your spam or junk folder.

Required Documents

Please upload the following documents as part of your online application:

• Copy of your driver's license or other government-issued photo ID
• Your last 2 pay stubs
• W-2s for the last 2 years

If self-employed: 1099s and tax returns for the last 2 years.

Bank statements for the last 3 months (only if you are unable to provide proof of income)

We may request more documentation depending on the applicant's circumstances.

Income Requirements

The household's combined gross monthly income must be at least three (3) times the monthly rent, and must be verified.

Credit, Background & Rental History

Metropolitan Real Estate Solutions evaluates the whole application, including credit history, background screening, income, employment, rental history and other relevant information.

Minimum credit score: Applicants must have a credit score of at least 650. Meeting the minimum score does not by itself guarantee approval.
Evictions: Applications with prior evictions or outstanding balances owed to previous landlords will be denied.
Collections, criminal records and other negative items: These are reviewed case by case and may result in denial or additional conditions, even when the credit score is 650 or higher.

Based on credit and rental history, an additional deposit may be required for approval.

All information provided must be accurate and complete. Inaccurate or incomplete information may delay or affect the approval of your application.

Move-In Costs

• Security deposit: At least one (1) month's rent. Approved applicants with a credit score of 650 or higher and a satisfactory overall application will generally pay one (1) month's rent.
• First month's rent and/or prorated rent.
• Renter's insurance: Proof of renter's insurance is required at move-in.
• Pet fee (when applicable): $500 per pet, non-refundable. Pet fees do not apply to assistance animals.
• Applicants Without U.S. Credit History

We regularly work with applicants relocating to the United States who may not yet have U.S. credit, employment or rental history. Not having U.S. credit history does not automatically disqualify an applicant.

Applicants without a U.S. credit score or credit history will be evaluated based on alternative documentation and will be required to pay a security deposit of at least three (3) months' rent.

Alternative documentation may include:

• Passport and valid immigration/visa documentation, as applicable
• Proof of employment or an employment offer
• Bank statements or proof of available funds
• International credit or financial references, when available
• Previous landlord references, when available
• Other documentation showing the ability to meet the financial obligations of the lease

HOA / Condominium Approval

Some properties are in homeowners' or condominium associations that require a separate application and approval. Each association sets its own requirements, application fees, deposits and approval timelines, separate from Metropolitan Real Estate Solutions' application process. Applicants must comply with all association requirements.

Before You Apply

Application fees are non-refundable, whether the applicant is approved, denied or decides not to move forward.
Submitting an application does not guarantee approval or reserve the property.
We may request additional documentation or verification during the screening process.
