One application, six months
Apply online in about 15 minutes. Each adult 18 and over fills out their own application, and incomes add up. The fee is $35 per adult, paid online, and your application stays on file for six months, so one fee covers every home you apply for in that time.
Tours are set up after you're approved, so approved renters aren't competing with window shoppers. Screening takes about 5 to 7 business days, and we answer by email.

Every application is scored the same way. A perfect score is rare, and we regularly approve 7s and 8s. Ties go to the earliest application. The only automatic disqualifier is a history of violent crime; a low credit score, collections, a past eviction, a pet or smoking can lower a score but won't rule you out. As Washington law requires, we don't count evictions for unpaid rent from March 2020 through December 2021, eviction records a court has limited, or sealed juvenile records. If we turn down an application or add conditions, we tell you why in writing.
