Before filling out an application, please review our list of criteria below. If you feel you meet the criteria please apply – because we would be happy to rent to you. Also if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask.

  1. A completed and signed application from each proposed occupant over the age of 18 must be submitted. ALL LINES MUST BE FILLED IN. Incorrect or misinformation will disqualify you as a prospective renter.
  2. A $45 screening fee in cash, cashier’s check or money order payable to Arroyo Property Management Inc. is required for the purpose of running credit and eviction reports. We also accept most bank instant transfer payments.
  3. You must show up in person and provide a copy of a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or state-issued ID card. Your ID should match one of your previous 2 addresses from the 3 years prior to applying. Military cards are not accepted. We may also ask for copies of social security cards.
  4. Your credit report must demonstrate your willingness to pay financial obligations in a timely fashion. We do not accept credit reports run by another person or agency. If you have no established credit, it will help to show a consistent minimum bank balance greater than the monthly rent.
    • No collection accounts or judgments
    • No record of late payments or delinquencies
    • No bankruptcy, bad debts, or charge-offs
    • You must have no records of eviction.
  5. We require favorable responses from references and previous landlords. If you have lived at your current address for less than 3 years, we will require positive references from your current and previous landlord.
  6. Employment History and Sufficient Income: We require a household monthly income of 3 times the amount of your monthly rent. Income must be verifiable through 3 months of pay stubs, employer contact, bank or tax records, court orders, or other similar sources. If a co-signer is necessary, they will need to apply as another tenant and show income of at least 5 times the monthly rent.
  7. Rental History must be verifiable from unbiased sources. If you’re related by blood or marriage to one of the previous landlords listed, or your rental history does not include at least two previous landlords, your application may be declined, or we may require a qualified co-signer.
  8. You may be denied if you have a conviction for any type of crime that would be considered a threat to real property or the ability of other residents to peacefully enjoy the premises. You will be denied for a conviction for illegal drug manufacturing or distribution.
  9. An up-front payment of the security deposit and one month’s rent is required by cashier’s check or money order when signing a rental contract.
  10. Please note that all of our properties are smoke-free. There is no smoking of any substance or vaping on the property.

    • Studio/single – 2 persons
    • 1 bedroom – 2 persons
    • 2 bedroom – 4 persons
    • 3 bedroom – 6 persons
