Rental Application FAQ

FAQ on Rental Application and Approval

  • Email apply@cgvegas.com for questions about applying or text us at

  • All applicants MUST submit a rental application. The primary criteria used in qualifying prospective tenants are:

    1) Average to good credit (generally 600 FICO score minimum).

    2) Dependable/verifiable rental history (if available).

    3) Combined applicant gross income to be a minimum of 3 times the monthly rent and must be proven via uploading proof of income.

    If you are starting a new job and do not have recent income history in Las Vegas, please provide proof of employment (typically an offer letter).

    We conduct our own credit check in all circumstances. The criteria that we use to qualify prospective tenants is a “tiered” system. The higher the credit score, the easier it is to qualify. Verifiable rental history, co-applicant qualification, and income verification can all be used to qualify a tenant. Applicants who have been evicted in the past are automatically disqualified (evictions typically show up on credit reports).

    The lease must be signed by the occupant and the person(s) whose credit will be used to rent the property. Identity verification will be performed upon lease signing.

  • We use a two-step application process. A $50 per adult application fee is charged upon submission of the application. When we initiate the credit screening an additional $24 screening fee will be due. If we do not screen your application (due to another applicant being chosen first), we will refund 100% of your fees. The application is non-refundable once we have screened you regardless of the result.

  • 1) the security deposit

    2) Rent for the first month. If you are moving in with less than half the month remaining the rent will be due through the end of the following month. EXAMPLE: If you are moving in on June 15th, rent would be due for June 15-July 31. If you move in on July 1, rent would be due July 1-July 31

    3) Lease prep fee of $100 for preparation of the lease

    4) Prorated trash, sewer or pool service fees (if applicable for the property you are renting).

  • Utilities MUST be turned on PRIOR to taking possession of your new rental home or condo. Cunningham Group makes NO guarantee that ANY utility service will be on for your move-in date. If you fail to contact all appropriate utility services in advance, you may not have all services operational on your move-in day.

    Remember that Republic Services trash must stay in the owner’s name. Do not switch this service as you are paying an additional amount on top of your rent already (for those of you in the City of North Las Vegas, trash is already part of your water bill. The same is true for residents living in condos).

  • Security deposits are typically equal to one month’s rent and are fully refundable at the conclusion of the lease if the property is returned in good condition although this may vary depending on the property.

    If a tenant cannot qualify under our normal qualification procedures, additional security deposits (up to triple the normal amount) may be requested to qualify a tenant.

  • Depends on the property, the owner, the pet, and the applicant. Fill out the pet application with the regular application form. Generally dogs larger than 40 pounds should be cleared before you even submit the application. In any event, we do require a pet deposit in order to accept pets in a property. Failure to disclose a pet prior to occupancy and receive approval would result in an eviction. So disclose your pets up front!

  • Lease periods are typically 1–2 years. Additionally, we do not end leases between November 1 and January 30 due to the slowdown in rent traffic during the holiday season.

FAQ on the Lease Agreement

  • Your rent payment for the month is due on the 1st of the previous month. If for any reason your rent payment will not be on time, please call us immediately. If the rent payment has not been received by the 3rd of each month, our office charges a late fee penalty in accordance to your lease and state laws.

  • All rent must be paid online at www.cgvegas.com/residents.

    You will need a password to login and pay rent. If you have not received a portal login, please email us at help@cgvegas.com. If you do NOT have a bank account and wish to pay rent in person, you must pay by either cashier’s check or money order. At no time will personal checks or cash be accepted at our office. You may also elect to use automatic payment via e-check (available on our website).

    Rent paid after the 3rd of the month at 5:30pm MUST be paid by cashier’s check or money order and include late fees to be accepted at our office.

  • Please refer to your rental agreement to find out what utilities you are responsible for. All utilities that you are responsible for must be switched into your name on or before the first day that you occupy your new unit. See the utilities contact page for more information.

  • All mailboxes and mailbox keys are owned by the US Postal Service. To determine your mailbox number or request keys, take a copy of your lease agreement to the nearest post office. Be sure to check USPS.com to confirm you are going to the correct location. The US Postal Service will only give this information out to the Deeded Owner or Leased Resident. In some cases (primarily condos) you will need to contact the HOA (their information is listed on your lease).

  • Please contact the HOA of your community to request more gate remotes. Each HOA has different policies and charges different fees.

    Additional garage remotes can be purchased from any hardware store. These “universal remotes” can be programmed to work with any garage.
