RentCafe Terms of Service

By using RentCafe.com (RentCafe ILS) or any property websites powered by RentCafe (RentCafe Portal) (collectively, “RentCafe”), you accept and agree to be bound by the latest version of the RentCafe Terms of Service (posted at https://resources.yardi.com/legal/rentcafe-terms-of-service/), which are between you and RentCafe (not the property) and will be updated from time to time. The property may have its own terms and conditions that apply between the property and you.

We are an equal opportunity housing provider. We fully comply with the Federal Fair Housing Act. We do not discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. We also comply with all state and local fair housing laws. Housing availability policy. Rental units become available when they are ready to rent. A vacant unit will not be deemed available until it has been cleaned, and prepared for a new resident. We update our list of available rental units as each unit becomes available. A rental unit that was unavailable in the morning may become available later that same day. Occupancy guidelines. To prevent overcrowding and undue stress on plumbing and other building systems, we restrict the number of people who may reside in a unit. In determining these restrictions, we adhere to all applicable fair-housing laws. We allow two persons per bedroom per rental unit. For example, a two bedroom rental unit could house four people, and a three bedroom rental unit could house as many as six people. Application process. We evaluate every application in the following manner. You must submit a rental application and answer all questions on the form. All adults living in the rental unit must complete an application and meet qualification requirements. You must pay the $45 (for an individual). An additional $45 application fee will be charged for each co-tenant. We will determine whether, from your responses to the application questions, you qualify for the unit you are applying for. If you do not, we will reject your application. If you do pass, we will run your credit and eviction report, and if that passes, we will call your landlord and employer to verify that they meet our criteria. Lastly, we will run a criminal background on you. If you meet our criteria, we will approve your application. This process takes up to two to four business days and starts at the time that a completed application, ALL of the needed documents and the processing fee has been received in our office. We process only one application at a time for any of our rental units. If you are interested in renting a property that has an application pending on it, we can accept back-up applications. You will not be asked to pay an application fee if you submit a back-up application. If the first application is rejected, we will call the person(s) who submitted the first back up and give them an opportunity to apply and at that time collect the fee. Rental criteria. To qualify for a unit at PME, you must meet the following criteria: 1. Income. You should have 1 year of employment and your combined monthly income should be at least 2 ½ times the monthly rent and must be verifiable. If your income is not verifiable, you must have at least 6 months of rent in a checking or savings account consistently and must show proof of this with 6 months of bank statements. If you have been a full-time student at any time within the past year, we may require you to have your lease guaranteed. If you are not employed, you must provide proof of a source of income. 2. Rental history. You must have satisfactory rental references from at least two prior landlords (excluding renting from family members) or for at least the last two years. If you have ever been evicted or sued for any lease violation, we may reject your application. 3. Credit history. Your credit record must currently be satisfactory. If your credit history shows any unpaid debts, we may reject your application. If you have more than 3 collections within the past 3 years and/or totaling over $2500 in debt (including judgements or liens) you may be denied. If you have a bankruptcy within the past 5 years or an open bankruptcy your application may not be approved. 4. Guarantors. If you do not meet one or more of the above criteria, you may be able to qualify for the rental unit if you can get a third party to guarantee your lease. The guarantor must complete the same application and screening process that you must pass. However, we will deduct the guarantor’s own housing costs before applying his or her income to our income standard, they must have excellent credit, and either own their home or have a minimum of 3 years rental history at the same current residence. A guarantor must make a minimum of four times the rent to qualify. The fee for an individual guarantor (co-signor) is $45.00. 5. Criminal history. If you have ever been convicted of a misdemeanor or a felony within the last 5 years, we may reject your application. 6. Pets. Not all properties allow pets in their units. We reserve the right to refuse to rent to dogs who are perceived to have vicious reputations (ie: Rottweiler, Doberman Pinschers, Pit Bulls). You maybe required to pay an additional deposit and/or be required to have pet insurance for any pets. There is an exception for doctor prescribed companion animals, please ask the applications department for specifics. 7. The first month of rent and the security deposit must be paid before tenant(s) can take possession of the unit.
