Rental Criteria & Leasing info

Searching for a Home

The credit evaluation process is handled by TransUnion, a third-party contractor, who reviews an applicant's credit history to make an approval recommendation.

TransUnion does not solely rely on traditional credit scores. Instead, they use their own proprietary rental score to evaluate applications. This rental score likely takes into account various factors from an applicant's credit history and rental background, rather than just a single credit score number. Depending on the rental score, we may offer you a conditional approval requiring a higher deposit of 1.5x the rent amount.
Applicants must have stable employment and verifiable income. In the event that you are not employed, proof of regular income must be submitted. This includes any Retirement Funds, Pensions, Social Security Income, Child Support, etc. along with 2 months of bank statements.

An offer letter or intent to hire letter should be submitted if employment has not yet started. This document must be signed by both the applicant and employer. Job must start within next 30 days or within past 30 days, and will be verified with company’s domain email address.

If self-employed, please include the name of your business including the name of any legal entity, trust, association, or partnership and the state where such has been formed. Please attach your personal bank statements for the last 2 months as well as any Articles of Incorporation/Certificate of Formation that exists, any Business License.

Income -Our income assessment stipulates that the combined household income of all leaseholders should meet the following criteria:
net income equivalent to at least 2.5 x the monthly rent.

Guarantors must meet all applicant requirements including 3.5 x the monthly rent amount in standalone net income and have a credit score of 620 or above.

Please note that we do not accept housing vouchers.

Moving In

  1. Once your application is approved, the next steps will be to secure the home and prepare for your move-in.

    You will first be required to pay a non-refundable administration fee and a refundable holding fee. The Holding Fee along with the administration fee must be received within 24 hours of approval to secure the home.

    These fees are separate from your move-in funds, which consist of your prorated first month's rent and any other required deposits or fees.

  2. Once both the administration fee and holding fee have been received, we will send you the lease which is required to be signed by you within 48 hours. A leasing coordinator will then be in contact with all the final move-in details.

  3. To ensure a smooth move-in, please be prepared to pay your move-in funds (prorated rent, pet fees, etc.), provide proof of renter's insurance, and provide utility information prior to your move-in date. If these items are not completed on time, you may not be permitted to move into the home as scheduled.
The Holding Fee can be paid via certified funds in the form of a rent money voucher or by money order/cashier’s check made out to Open House Texas Property Management LLC. If you reside in Georgia you can provide a money order/cashier’s check made out to Open House Atlanta Property Management LLC.

A one-time, non refundable $150 administration fee is required to be paid with the Holding Fee. The Holding Fee along with the administration fee must be received within 24 hours of approval to secure the home.
The Holding Fee will be the same amount as the security deposit defined in the lease and shall be applied to the security deposit when due under the lease or by law. The Holding Fee shall be fully refundable until it has been applied to the security deposit when due following the execution of the lease.
Leases will be sent electronically through DocuSign for your electronic signatures. Leases are typically sent 1-3 business days after the refundable holding fee has been received. All leases must be signed and submitted within 48 hours of receipt.
Additional administration fees apply if any lease has to be amended due to tenants’ change in move-in date or other revisions. We must receive the lease signed by all tenants within 48 hours of to the proposed lease being delivered to you or it will be canceled and we will start accepting new applications.

*IF YOU DO NOT EXECUTE AND RETURN THE PROPOSED LEASE WITHIN 48 HOURS AFTER IT IS SENT TO YOU, THEN WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL SUCH LEASE, CANCEL YOUR APPLICATION, RETAIN THE ADMINSTRATION FEE, AND REFUND THE HOLDING FEE TO YOU.
Move-in is processed electronically between 8 AM-10AM Monday thru Friday. Move-in funds can be paid by rent money voucher, cashier’s check, or money order. If move-in requirements are not received by the end of the processing timeframe, future tenants will be required to wait until the following business day.

Please be advised that move-in dates will fall between 5-8 business days after the time you remit your refundable Holding Fee payment.

Customer Testimonials

Open House Group utilizes a third-party screening service to review and approve all applicants over the age of 18, along with any lease guarantor. Once approved, all applicants and any guarantors must execute the lease, unless an occupant is an adult dependent of an applicant, in which case such person only needs to be listed on the lease along with any children.

In order to apply, each adult occupant must complete the rental application, pay a non-refundable rental application and processing fee, submit the required documents, and agree to a comprehensive background check. A rental application may be denied based on a number of objective criteria including a person's criminal history, previous negative/non-existent rental history, current income, credit history or lack of credit, failure to complete or provide accurate information on the application, or failure to submit the required documents, as further described below. Open House Group reserves the right to contact any employer, landlord, or other reference provided by you to confirm the applicable information submitted on a rental application.

Open House Group reserves the right to accept applications from multiple interested parties for a single property and to select the occupant(s) who have the highest combined score as provided by the screening service and as supported by the requested documentation.

All rental application and processing fees are non-refundable. Submission and approval of your application does not ensure or guarantee that the house you are interested in will be leased to you until you have paid the administration fee and a non-transferable, refundable Holding Fee to hold the property and thereafter execute a written lease within 48 hours after receipt. Your Holding Fee will be applied to your security deposit under the lease when due. If Open House Group notifies you that your application has been approved and has elected to lease the property to you, then you will have 24 hours to pay your refundable Holding Fee and 48 hours to return the fully executed lease following receipt, along with your payment of the administration fee and any other costs or fees as stated in the lease when due prior to move-in. If you fail to do so, Open House Group may cancel your application, terminate the proposed lease, refund the Holding Fee, retain your application fee, and accept another prospective tenant. After you return your executed lease, you must pay the prorated rent for the first month, and provide proof of renters insurance and utilities in your name before you will be permitted to move in. If you fail to move in prior to the date stated in the lease, then Open House Group may declare a default of the lease.

Proposed leases are typically sent to your email, as provided on the application, through Docusign® 1-3 business days after the Holding Fee has been received, to be signed and returned electronically to Open House Group.

For any co-applicants, any rejection of one applicant shall be considered a rejection of all applicants. All co-applicants must be approved and must execute the lease as described above. If Open House Group fails to notify you that your application has been approved or rejected within 7 days after all information has been received and processed, then your application shall be deemed rejected.

Open House Group shall not consider or reject an application or take any adverse action based on an applicant's race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin.

DISCLAIMER:
Some counties and municipalities may have certain restrictions on the number and relationship of occupants living in single-family homes. All prospective tenants represent that they have reviewed, understand, and shall comply with such restrictions.
