Applicant Selection Criteria
To qualify for a Fox Real Estate rental home, applicants must meet the following minimum requirements:
✓ Each adult (18+) who will occupy the property must submit a separate rental application.
✓ Household income should be approximately 3× the monthly rent, with verifiable proof of income.
✓ Minimum credit score of 600 for financially responsible applicants. Scores of 590–599 may be considered based on the overall application. Applicants below 590 are not eligible.
✓ Positive rental history, including no recent evictions (typically within the past 5 years) and no outstanding landlord balances.
✓ Criminal background screening completed in accordance with applicable laws. Decisions are based on the nature, severity, and recency of offenses—no blanket denials.
✓ Valid government-issued photo ID is required for all adult applicants.
✓ Pets, if applicable, must meet property guidelines and complete the required PetScreening profile.
✓ Applications are subject to verification of income, identity, rental history, and other screening criteria in compliance with Fair Housing laws.
Please Note:
- Co-signers/guarantors are not accepted to overcome poor credit or background concerns. They may only be considered in limited cases involving no established credit history or insufficient income, subject to approval.
- All applications are evaluated using consistent, objective criteria in accordance with Fair Housing regulations.
