Apply
An application is required for everyone over 18. To submit an application, search for the home you are interested in and apply directly from the listing page using the "Apply Now" button.
Before you start the application, gather the following supporting documentation for each adult applicant, which you'll upload as part of the process.
[Pro-Tip: We recommend the Genius Scan app (iOS / Android) to quickly "scan" documents with your smartphone.]
HERE’S WHAT WE NEED 
- Paystub(s) for the past 60 days for each wage-earning applicant. Alternatively, a W2, or for new jobs, a verification of salary on company letterhead. If you're self-employed, provide the most recent two year's federal tax returns (Form 1040) and a P&L statement for the past 12 months.
- To ensure the integrity and security of your information, we'll connect to your bank account electronically as part of the application process to collect bank transaction data. We will verify the most recent 60-days of assets and verify income, so choose the account where your income is regularly deposited. Applicants are required to show at least 3x monthly rent via bank assets to source funds required for Security Deposit, First Month's Rent, and moving expenses. Multiple accounts may be connected to show assets that meet this criteria.
- Each applicant's Government-issued ID (driver's license), which must show your current home address. During the application, we'll use your smartphone to verify your ID.
- Vehicle Registration for each vehicle.
Other documentation that may be required:
- If you're currently renting, a Rental Verification form completed by your current landlord. Once you complete your application, we'll send you an email from DocuSign for your current landlord to complete.
- If you have pets, you'll complete a separate pet application for each pet. Read more about our pet policies.
