*If an applicant has insufficient application qualifications a co-signer or extra security deposit may be required. The co-signer must meet all of the above criteria and complete and application. Acceptance of the Co-signer is subject to approval by the property owner.

Checklist for Applicants

Applicants must fill out and sign the online application or WPG Rental Application as soon as possible and do not leave any blanks. They have to provide copies of verifiable income, pay stubs, bank statements, social security statements, and letters from employers, etc.

Non-refundable Application Fee is $50.00.
An application is required for all occupants over the age of 18.

Approval Process

Once approved, Tenants are notified by phone, text message or email. In order for us to hold the unit for them and remove it from the rental market, we require a holding deposit within (1) business day of the approval. The holding deposit will be equal to the amount of the security deposit.

If they decide to cancel for any reason, they may forfeit all or a portion of the deposit in lieu of market time lost and leasing efforts. At the time of receiving the holding deposit, we will coordinate the signing of the lease and the date of transfer of possession with the Tenants.

If denied, they will be notified in writing or via email. Residents must have an email address and will be required to electronically sign the lease. Tenants must sign lease up/to 24 hours after the lease is sent.

Move-In Funds Policy

Cash will only be accepted for application fees. Security Deposit and First Month's rent must be paid in certified funds. Certified Funds are money orders or cashier's checks. All payments are payable to Washington Property Group. Tenants may begin using personal checks after initial move-in funds are received, in accordance with the terms of the lease. Proof of Tenant Liability or Renter Insurance is recommended at move in. Please note: All residents must be listed on any provided renter insurance, as well as WPG added as additional interest for it to be considered valid and no charges to apply.
