  Our primary qualifications are clean rental history and sufficient income to pay the rent. If you have had an eviction filed against you (called a forcible entry and detainer in Oklahoma), we cannot rent to you. We also cannot rent to you if we receive negative feedback from a current or previous landlord. We are seeking income of at least 3x the monthly rent amount. We also review credit and criminal history. We cannot rent to you with an open bankruptcy or a bankruptcy that has been discharged less than 5 years ago. Most of our properties do not require a minimum credit score, but we will decline applicants who have recent unpaid debts. We review criminal history on a case-by-case basis.

• What is your policy regarding service animals?

  Service animals that assist a tenant with a disability are not considered pets and are permitted at any of our properties without a pet fee. Tenants must provide documentation showing the service animal's qualification.

• Which repairs are the tenant's responsibility?

  The tenant is responsible for all damages caused by the tenant, with the exception of typical wear and tear. The tenant is also responsible for repairs to the HVAC system that result from the tenant’s failure to change out the air filters every 30 days, as determined by the HVAC repair person. Plumbing repairs are the tenant’s responsibility if caused by the tenant, such as a clogged drain. If a property comes with a refrigerator, countertop microwave, or washer and/or dryer, those appliances are not warrantied by the owner and will only be replaced if approved by the owner. The tenant can choose to repair or replace those appliances if they fail. Tenants are responsible for lawn care and flower bed maintenance, unless otherwise noted in the property listing or lease. The owner is responsible for all other reasonably necessary repairs to the property, including the systems (HVAC, roof, foundation, plumbing), exterior of the property, tree trimming, fence repair, and built-in appliances.
