All adults who will live in the home must be on an application. Our primary criteria are: a 650 FICO score or higher, dependable and verifiable rental history, combined gross income of at least 3 times the monthly rent, a satisfactory prior landlord reference, and employment stability. Applicants who have been evicted in the past are disqualified. We do not currently accept housing vouchers. We run our own credit screening. If you do not fully meet the criteria, an additional security deposit of up to triple the monthly rent may be requested, and in some cases an application may not be approved regardless of deposit. If you know of credit issues, you are welcome to include a short explanation.

$80 per adult applicant. Each additional adult occupant (18+) and any co-signer pays $30 and completes their own application. If we never screen your application because another applicant was chosen first, you receive a 100% refund. Once we have screened an application, the fee is non-refundable regardless of the result.

Apart from the lease prep fee, amounts are different for every property, so we do not list them here. Your lease package shows exactly what is due for your home: the security deposit, first month’s rent (prorated if you move in mid-month), a $100 lease prep fee, and any property-specific fees. Rent and security deposit are always separate payments. Before keys are released you will also need proof of utilities in your name, proof of renter’s insurance with loss-of-use coverage, and the key release form signed.

Utilities MUST be turned on PRIOR to taking possession of your new rental home or condo. We will require proof of utilities activated in the name of someone on the lease prior to receiving keys.  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.

It depends on the property, the owner, the pet and the applicant. If you have a pet, complete your pet profile through PetScreening, which is a required step after you submit your application. The owner decides on pets, and pet deposits apply per pet. Please disclose every pet up front, because failure to disclose a pet before occupancy can have serious consequences. Service and assistance animals are not pets and are not subject to owner approval.

Lease periods are typically 1 to 2 years. We do not end leases between November 1 and January 30. Longer lease terms can be considered only after a rental application is approved and after a discussion with the owner; we do not pre-negotiate lease terms before an application is submitted. Furnished rentals allow month-to-month and shorter terms. A blank sample lease (marked SAMPLE) is available on request.
