Rental Information & Application Instructions

Cherrypick Rentals will assist all applicants without regard to race, color, creed, sex, religion, national origin, familial status, marital status, handicap, or ancestry.

​

1. A separate application is required for each applicant over the age of eighteen (excluding dependent children) who intends to reside in the property. This guarantees our compliance with federal, state and local Fair Housing laws.

2. A $30 application fee is required from each adult applicant. This application fee is non- refundable; however, if your application is NOT processed, the application fee will be refunded.

3. Applicants must view the inside of the property before their application will be processed. Exceptions may be made if the applicant has a family member or friend view the property.

4. Applicants are not accepted on a “first-come, first-served” basis, but on a best-qualified basis.

5. Cherrypick Rentals will pull a background check and/or a credit report (which includes FICO credit score, eviction and bankruptcy reports, SSN verification, employer verification, sex offender, criminal, and terrorist watch list reports) on every applicant. We will also contact your current and past landlords, as well as current and past employers to verify the information provided on your application.

6. Bad credit will usually disqualify you unless there are extenuating circumstances. If you have credit problems, a letter of explanation may help to qualify you. (Generally we are looking for 600+ FICO credit scores.)

7. Income Verification: Please provide copies of your 2 most recent pay stubs or a letter from your employer on company letterhead to verify income. If you are self-employed, you will be required to verify your income with copies of tax returns, 1099s and/or other relevant data. If you have other income you would like us to consider in qualifying your application (such as Social Security benefits, Retirement or Pension benefits, Alimony or Child Support, Disability payments, Savings & Investment income, etc.), please provide verification of such other income.

8. Any false statements or deliberate misrepresentation of facts will automatically disqualify the application.

9. No  smoking or vaping of any substance is allowed in any of our properties (including the garage).

10. Applicants must not have a felony record that was adjudicated guilty or had adjudication withheld for the past five (5) years; however, time limits are waived for anyone found on a terrorist watch list or anyone with a felony conviction for any crimes related to homicide, manslaughter, stalking, sex offenses requiring registration, and/or manufacturing and distribution of a controlled substance. These will be grounds for denial. Current or pending felony indictments will also be grounds for denial. We will assess applicants’ criminal history on an individual basis. Our goal is to treat all applicants fairly and ensure they have equal opportunities for housing.

11. If you are accepted for Tenancy, a payment in the amount of twice the monthly rent is due when contracts are signed. We will also require a copy of your current driver’s license (or other government- issued photo ID) and one other form of ID. If you have pets and they are approved, there is an additional “pet rent” of $25.00 per month, per pet.

12. If your  application is denied, we will send a letter to the email address on your application listing the reason(s) for denial.

13. Incomplete applications will not be processed. 

14. Properties will continue to be shown and applications accepted until a rental contract is signed and an amount equal to twice the monthly rent has been received.

15. By clicking "I Agree, Continue" below you consent and agree to receiving SMS based communications.

Cherrypick Rentals believes that our tenants are our greatest assets.  We offer well-maintained houses and apartments for long-term occupancy to people who wish to take our houses and make them their homes. Our typical tenants rent for multiple years (our longest tenancy is still ongoing at 30+ years). We offer discounted rent to tenants who are willing to take on the responsibility for the minor maintenance that comes from living in a home. If what we offer appeals to you and you meet our qualifying criteria (listed below), we invite you to apply to rent this property.
