We will obtain your credit report from AppFolio, Inc. (who obtained it from Experian, 701 Experian Prkwy, Allen, TX 75013, www.experian.com/reportaccess, (888) 397-3742) and may used it in making our decision to verify your credit through the VantageScore® 3.0 Credit Score.

Unfavorable accounts which will negatively influence this score include, but are not limited to: inquiries, collections, foreclosures, charge-off, repossession, absence of credit, and current delinquency. Debt to a previous landlord, and open bankruptcies will result in an automatic denial of the application. Depending upon the screening result, an additional deposit may be required plus risk mitigation fee subject to local or state laws.

VantageScore® is a credit score that was developed by the three national credit reporting companies (CRCs) — Experian, TransUnion and Equifax — using approximately 45 million anonymous credit files. Data, which was pulled equally from the three CRCs, included public record information, collections information, tradeline data, and inquiries. Unlike other scoring systems, the VantageScore® credit score is the most consistent, using only one model with one set of scoring calculations—this results in scores that are more uniform across all three CRCs.
‍
VantageScores are on a range of 300 to 850, which is the same range as a typical FICO score. A score closer to the maximum 850 means better credit. The proprietary VantageScore formula is applied to the data on applicants’ credit reports.
‍
FICO® Scores consider 5 main categories of credit data from consumers’ reports: Payment history, amounts owed, length of credit history, new credit, and types of credit in use. While VantageScore® 3.0 considers 6 main categories of credit data from consumers’ reports: Payment history, depth of credit, utilization, balances, recent credit, and available credit. Within each category, FICO® and VantageScore may take different approaches to how they use or weight specific pieces of information. Three examples are how the scores treat revolving account balances (or credit utilization), collection accounts and hard inquiries.

We use a third-party pet policy and screening service. To start your pet screening now, please press the button below:

We encourage healthy and responsible pet interactions for all tenants, and we strive to create a community that welcomes everyone and ensures a pet-responsible environment. We use a third-party pet application service called PetScreening, which is a simple and secure way to manage important information about your pet or assistance animal.
‍
When a pet owner submits a pet application, a pet profile is instantaneously generated with a FIDO Score and includes name, breed, weight, sex, age, pictures, vaccination information, micro-chip data, and behavioral information. Assistance animals do not receive a FIDO Score.
‍
You may be wondering, “What’s a FIDO Score”? During the Pet Screening process, several factors are collected from the pet owner and compiled into a detailed pet profile. These factors help determine a FIDO Score. This score is intended to help a housing provider better understand the related risk for each pet and pet owner.
‍
The FIDO Score system ranges between five (5) to zero (0). The higher the score rating, the lower the risk associated with renting to a pet and pet owner. Several factors are weighed when calculating the FIDO Score, including, but not limited to: the type of animal, breed, age, weight, gender, vaccination history, and behavioral traits.
‍
For example purposes only, when applied to a hypothetical Australian Shepherd named Maggie, her pet profile results may come back with a three (3) FIDO Score. In this example, Maggie is a great dog and a part of a great family. But Maggie is a hyper dog. She barks. She can scratch our hardwood floors. To a housing provider, these behaviors pose some potential risk. PetScreening took these behaviors into account to calculate Maggie’s three (3) FIDO Score.

This service makes it easy for pet/animal owners to share their animal records with their housing provider, pet groomers, doggy daycares, dog walkers, pet sitters, vets, pet friendly hotels, and more.
‍
If you have an Assistance Animal, you are still required to complete the screening process at no charge ($0) to acknowledge our animal policies.

Please be aware of your state’s statutes or local ordinances, if any, for criminal offenses and/or penalties for committing assistance animal fraud.

The pet application fee is $20 for the first pet and $15 for every additional pet. Each pet application must be processed separately but the discount will be automatically applied to additional pet applications. We are not affiliated with PetScreening and cannot offer refunds.
