How to Apply

The Application Process

Non-Refundable Application Fee is Required
($35.00 PER ADULT 18 & OVER)

Very often we receive multiple applications for the same property, and those applications are screened and scored against other applications received within the same time frame. The properties listed on our website are currently available, although other applications may have been submitted by other applicants prior to yours and are being processed. But please note that many applications are not approved and our company has a contractual obligation to the property's owner to keep their rental listed on our website until an approved application is received. For example, it is VERY possible that you could submit your application on a specific property now and while your application is being processed another applicant that submitted his/her application prior to your submission could be approved, thereby changing the status of the property to unavailable. If this scenario happens and your application is still being considered, then you will have up to thirty (30) days to transfer your application to another property. If you find an alternate property with a higher monthly rent then your income-to-rent ratio will be re-evaluated to ensure you are still approved. Additional applications will continue to be accepted until the application has been approved. Applications will be denied if falsified. You must view the property before your application will be accepted. If you are unable to view the property in person, please contact your Rent Builder Representative for other options. NOTE: Even though cosigners are mentioned in our online application, we do not accept cosigners. A minimum credit score will be required for all properties.

CREDIT AND CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS ARE ELECTRONICALLY PROCESSED BY OUR NATIONWIDE SCREENING PARTNER IMMEDIATELY UPON PAYMENT AND SUBMISSION; THEREFORE, APPLICATION FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.

If you have any questions regarding our review/screening process and/or the overall application process, we recommend you contact us BEFORE submitting your on-line application. You can contact us during business hours (M-F, 9 am-4 pm MST) at 505-695-7114 or email: info@RentBuilderPM.com Thank you!
