Resident/Tenant Selection Criteria – Requirement for Approval Thank you for your interest in our property. Before proceeding to the application, please take a moment to review our tenant selection criteria. Application fees are non-refundable, and we want you to be confident you meet our criteria before completing an application and paying the non-refundable fee. We recommend you visit the property and contact the listing or leasing agent to check availability before applying. All listed properties are “AS IS”.
Turnkey PMC LLC, dba EZ Home Rental is licensed in the State of Texas as a Real Estate Brokerage and represents the Owner of the Property and DOES NOT represent the TENANT as agent or fiduciary.
Pursuant to Property Code Section 92.3515, these Tenant Selection Criteria are being provided to you.
Resident/Tenant Selection Criteria:
● Anyone eighteen (18) or older residing in the property MUST fill out an application.
● Additional occupants under eighteen must be listed on the application when submitted.
● Applicants must make a verified combined gross income of 3.0x rent and 12 months continuous employment.
o Gross income requires at least two forms of verification from the following:
▪ Pay stubs (2 months of recent pay stubs)

▪ Tax return for business (Self-employment)– signed and filed (last 2 years)

● No fraud, financial, or fraud-related charges of any kind at any time.
● Two years of housing history (if applicable). A mortgage can count as rental history.
● Most properties consider pets individually and require pet fees and monthly rent; there are no up-front deposits. We use a third-party screening service and require everyone to complete a pet profile, a “no pet” profile, or request accommodation for an assistance animal. The third-party screening service may charge up to $30 annually for a “PET PROFILE”. Application approval is contingent upon the pet screening recommendation. The following dog breeds (and mixes thereof) are not accepted: Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, Pit Bulls, Akitas, Chows, Wolfdog hybrids, Mastiffs or other breeds at the homeowner’s discretion. We reserve the right to deny the application based on the pet's size, species, or breed (please contact our office if unsure).
● We may use Transunion, Equifax, Experian, or Credit Report Services, Inc. and its partners to run credit, criminal, and housing records – no average/blended Resident Score below 550 will be accepted.
⮚ A 500-credit score represents "No score".
● Resident Scores are blended/averaged, and those below 600 will be charged a Risk Management Fee.
