Acceptable income sources may include employment earnings, self-employment income, retirement benefits, Social Security, disability benefits, and other lawful, verifiable sources of income.

Applicants participating in Section 8 (Housing Choice Voucher) or other rental assistance programs are welcome to apply. Rental assistance is accepted toward monthly rent obligations but is not classified as applicant income for purposes of meeting our standard income qualification requirement.

• Credit Score Below 620 – Conditional Approval: Applicants with credit scores below 620 may be denied or considered for conditional approval with a qualified co-signer or additional security deposit, provided income, rental references, and all other screening requirements are satisfied.

• No Credit History or Unavailable Credit Score – Conditional Approval: Applicants without an established credit history or an available credit score may be considered for conditional approval with a qualified co-signer or additional security deposit, provided income, rental references, and all other screening requirements are satisfied.

All applications are evaluated consistently according to our established screening criteria. Conditional approvals are subject to documented qualification standards, management review, applicable laws, and reasonable accommodation requirements.

Yes. Every person 18 years old or older needs to submit their own application and application fee.

Each credit screening, background screening, and eviction history screening is based on the applicants social security number. Every applicant must be screened, so every person must apply individually.

Emancipated individuals who are under 18 also may need to apply.

On average processing time is 2-4 business days. However; if we need to get additional information, or if references do not respond to our inquiries, it may take longer.

• Provide the most up to date and accurate financial information. The best documentation is the last 2 months of current paystubs for employees, or an offer letter if applicable. For self employed applicants, providing bank statements and tax returns may be necessary.

• For fastest processing, please provide documentation that has the applicants corresponding legal name, previous address, employer and pay rate information.

• If any information is inaccurate or not up to date may delay the approval process because we will need to verify or correct information. Or, if we can’t verify information an application may be rejected.

Bigfoot Management Group applies consistent, objective screening standards to all rental applications. The following circumstances may result in an application being denied or requiring additional review:

• Criminal History: Certain criminal convictions involving violence, sexual offenses, or other conduct presenting a demonstrable risk to the safety of residents or property may result in denial. Criminal history is evaluated based on the nature, severity, relevance, and recency of the offense, along with any applicable mitigating circumstances. Arrests without convictions are not, by themselves, grounds for denial.

• False or Misleading Information: Knowingly providing fraudulent, materially inaccurate, or falsified information during the application process may result in denial.

• Occupancy Limits: Applications exceeding a property's established occupancy limits may be denied. Limits are determined based on applicable codes, property size, bedroom dimensions, household composition, and other relevant factors, consistent with fair housing requirements.

• Unsatisfactory Rental History: Documented late rent payments, significant lease violations, property damage beyond ordinary wear and tear, or other material rental performance concerns may result in denial. An applicant may also be denied if a previous landlord confirms they would not rent to the applicant again due to specific, documented, and legitimate tenancy-related concerns. Applicants may provide clarification or supporting information regarding adverse rental references.

• Prior Evictions or Outstanding Rental Debt: Verified eviction history resulting from material lease violations, unpaid rental balances, or outstanding judgments related to a previous tenancy may result in denial. Eviction records are evaluated based on their accuracy, outcome, relevance, and surrounding circumstances. An eviction filing alone does not automatically disqualify an applicant.

• Unable to Verify Qualifications: Applications may be denied when required income, rental history, identity, or other relevant screening information cannot reasonably be verified after the applicant has been given an opportunity to provide acceptable supporting documentation.

All applications are reviewed according to our established screening criteria. Applicants may provide relevant clarification or documentation concerning adverse screening information. Reasonable accommodation requests are considered where required by law.

2. Income: Minimum of 3 times the monthly rent.

3. Landlord Reference: No more than one late payment reported, and will answer “yes” if they would rent to the applicant again.

Bigfoot Management Group welcomes applications from individuals participating in Section 8 (Housing Choice Voucher) and other recognized rental assistance programs.

All applicants are evaluated according to our established rental screening criteria, including income qualifications, credit history, and rental references.

Applicants must independently meet our standard income requirement of 2.5 times the full monthly rental amount, regardless of whether rental assistance is provided. Housing vouchers and other third-party rental subsidies are accepted as payment toward rent but are not classified as applicant income for purposes of meeting this qualification.

This policy establishes consistent financial qualifications for applicants, recognizing that rental assistance amounts, eligibility, and availability may change during a tenancy.

All applicants are evaluated consistently, without discrimination based on legally protected characteristics, and subject to applicable fair housing laws and reasonable accommodation requirements.

Bigfoot Management Group generally follows a guideline of two occupants per bedroom, subject to applicable federal, state, and local laws.

Occupancy limits may vary depending on the size and configuration of the property, bedroom dimensions, available living space, building and fire codes, and other relevant factors.

Each property's occupancy limits are established using objective criteria and applied consistently, without discrimination based on familial status or any other legally protected characteristic.

Reasonable accommodation requests will be considered in accordance with applicable fair housing laws.

When multiple qualified applicants apply for the same property during the application evaluation period, Bigfoot Management Group selects the most qualified applicant or household using the following criteria, in order of priority:

1. Credit Qualifications — First Priority: Higher verified credit scores receive priority.

2. Income Qualifications — Second Priority: When credit qualifications are equal, applicants with higher verified gross monthly household income receive priority.

3. Rental History — Third Priority: When credit and income qualifications are equal, applicants with stronger verified rental histories and positive landlord references receive priority. Limited, mixed, or negative rental references may affect an applicant's ranking or eligibility.

All applicants must first meet our established screening requirements or qualify through an approved conditional approval process.

If applicants remain equally qualified after applying these criteria, priority is given to the applicant or household that first submitted a complete application.

All applications are evaluated consistently, without discrimination based on legally protected characteristics, and subject to applicable reasonable accommodation requirements.
