How to Apply for a Rental

At Performance Properties Inc., we want to make the rental application process as clear and straightforward as possible. Before applying, please review the information below to understand our showing process, application requirements, rental criteria, and what to expect after you apply.

1. View the Property Before Applying

We highly recommend that all prospective applicants view the property in person or through the available virtual tour before submitting an application.

  • Each prospect may schedule one showing.
  • If you need to take measurements or photos, please do so during your scheduled showing.
  • Please schedule a showing only if you are seriously considering the property and are prepared to move within two weeks.
  • Future showings may be canceled if the property receives a pending application.
  • We encourage you to review the property's photos, listing details, and virtual tour carefully before applying.

2. Submit Your Application

Applications are completed online through the application link provided on our website.

The application process generally takes 1–3 business days, excluding weekends and holidays.

During the screening process, we review the information provided in your application, including applicable income, credit, collections, property debt, rental history, and other qualification criteria. Applicants should provide accurate and complete information and be prepared to provide supporting documentation when requested.

If you do not have rental history but have previously owned a home, please be prepared to provide proof of homeownership or current mortgage documentation showing that mortgage payments are up to date.

5. Income and Supporting Documentation

Applicants should be prepared to provide documentation supporting the information submitted on their application. Depending on the applicant's circumstances, additional documentation may be requested to verify income, employment, rental history, homeownership, or other qualification information.
