Rental criteria

Each financially responsible applicant and co-signer must generally have a minimum credit score of 650. Scores are not averaged. Meeting the minimum does not guarantee approval; lawful credit-history factors may also be considered.

Combined gross monthly household income must generally equal at least 2.5 times the monthly rent and be supported by lawful, verifiable documentation.

Applicants must provide current landlord or property-manager information and, when requested, information for the immediately preceding tenancy.

Premier may verify identity, employment, income, rental history, and other application information. Criminal history is considered only when lawful and with any required individualized assessment.

Income is evaluated using the applicant's portion of the rent, not the full contract rent. When required by law, applicants may provide lawful, verifiable evidence of their ability to pay their portion in lieu of credit history, and Premier will reasonably consider that evidence.

Appropriate documentation may include benefit or award letters, pension statements, court orders, pay records, bank statements, or government rental-assistance documents.

Subject to availability and lawful verification, the first applicant who satisfies the published criteria will be approved. Applicants are charged a screening fee only when their application is actually considered.

A permitted co-signer guarantees the entire rental obligation, not an individual occupant. Each co-signer must submit a separate application, generally meet the 650 minimum credit score, document sufficient income, and sign the rental agreement and any required co-signer agreement.

An applicant group is complete only after all required applications and documents are received. Multiple completed applications are handled under the application-order process above.

For a move-in-ready or nearly ready property, the proposed lease start date generally must be within 14 days after application unless otherwise agreed in writing. Any payment requested after approval to reserve a property will be governed by separate written terms and applicable law.

Limits depend on applicable law and the unit's size, configuration, building limitations, and lawful occupancy. They are applied consistently without discrimination.

Pet policies, restrictions, deposits, and monthly pet rent vary by property and will be identified in the listing or rental documents.

Assistance animals are not subject to pet rent, pet deposits, or ordinary pet restrictions. Reasonable-accommodation requests are evaluated individually under applicable fair housing law.

Approved applicants receive written notice of approval conditions, proposed rental documents, payment instructions, deadlines, and any separate reservation terms. Security deposits and other move-in funds will not exceed amounts permitted by California law.

If required documents, signatures, or payments are not completed by the stated deadlines, Premier may withdraw the offer and consider the next completed application in the order required by law.
