Application
Each person 18 and over applying must pass a background check. Our background checks are performed by Rental History Reports and are thorough. Having substantial credit history or job history is not a requirement. Applications cost $38 to run, and will refund your money if your application is not run for any reason.
Smoking is not allowed. If you are a smoker, we are sorry, but we cannot accept your application.
We also do not accept Section 8.
Process
- Contact Adam at Gopher Properties for a showing
- Fill out the Application on RHR’s website and submit with the $38 background check fee
- Applications are considered on a first come, first served basis once #2 is complete for all applicants. Only one group of applicants is considered at once. The check takes approximately 4 business days.
- If the background checks pass, you will be asked to set up a time to sign the lease in the next couple of days.
- At the lease signing, bring a check for the deposit (equal to 1 month’s rent). Once this step is completed, the place is yours.
