A non-refundable application fee of $50.00 is required when the application is submitted to management. All application fees are non-refundable. If your application fee is returned as NSF, your application will be rejected, and you will not be considered further. If an application is not accompanied with a Holding Deposit, it could take 2-3 weeks for a decision. 

A Holding Deposit equal to the Security Deposit should be paid with certified payment and is required to reserve and hold a specific unit for you. Once paid, the applicant has until 5:00 pm the following business day to turn in all information required for the application process, else management will be unable to render a decision and the Holding Deposit will be forfeited. If the applicant changes his/her decision about renting with Vesica Real Estate at any time or for any reason, the Holding Deposit will be forfeited.  

If the applicant submits all required paperwork within the required time and is not approved for the unit, the Holding Deposit will be refunded within 10 business days of the denial letter. When the lease is signed, the Holding Deposit will convert into a Security Deposit and will then be refundable after the tenant vacates. 

The prospect must execute a lease contract for a reserved unit within 24 hours of approval or as soon as the unit is ready for occupancy, else the Holding Deposit will be forfeited and applied to the unit as lost rent. 

Each prospective resident over 18 years of age will need to fill out an application and have a credit and criminal background screening. 

Applicant must be 21 years of age or older to apply as a lease holder. If under 21 but over 18, an applicant can arrange for a guarantor to apply and the cosigner will need to fill out and process a separate application.

Proof of income (i.e. paycheck stub, letter of employment, employment contract) must be submitted, else a letter will be sent to your supervisor for written confirmation of employment and pay rate. Income may also be verified by submitting the applicant(s) two most recent bank statements. Self-employed applicants must verify income with two previous year’s tax returns. Retired applicants with no monthly income must be able to prove 12 months’ worth of rent in savings.
