5. PETS/ASSISTANCE ANIMALS: *Not all properties accept pets. Rental applications with household pets and or service/companion/assistance animals are to submit a pet profile through a third-party pet screening vendor as a part of our rental application process. Please visit: https://southwestidahopm.petscreening.com/
This service charges a small fee for the pet, however service/companion/assistance animals are exempt.
The Service will assign a "Paw Score" that will determine your monthly pet rent and a one-time non-refundable pet fee.

6. RENTAL CRITERIA
RENTAL HISTORY: Verifiable (non-family) rental history for the past year. If you have owned a home, your payment history will reflect on your credit report. Co-signers and/or increased deposits may be considered for lack of rental history, foreclosure or short sale. Applications may also be denied for damages beyond normal wear and tear, illegal activity on premises and/or reports of non-compliance. Any landlord reference that includes 3 or more late payments per calendar year, will result in an increased security deposit. Any instance of a security deposit which was not returned due to damage of the rental unit beyond normal cleaning/repairs and/or any instance of property intent to vacate notice not being given to a landlord and/or a broken lease, may all be cause for denial.

7. INCOME: Families/couples must be able to prove a combined monthly income of at least 2.5 times the monthly rent. Roommates must prove their income to be at 2 times the rent amount EACH. Child support and SSI can be counted as income as long as it is verifiable. Unemployment is not considered income. Income guidelines may be waived at the discretion of Southwest Idaho Property Management if applicant prepays rent for the full term of the lease.

8. CREDIT: Your credit score must be 650 or higher. Scores below 650 can sometimes be approved with conditions. Applicants may be required to pay an increased deposit equal to one month's rent and/or a co-signer and you must have excellent income and rental history. Applicants that have a non-existent credit rating may result in denial or require a co-signer. Applicants with an open bankruptcy will automatically be denied. All information shown on the credit report is subject to verification, including previous address and place of employment. Credit reports supplied by applicants are not accepted.

CO-SIGNERS: Co-signers must have a credit score no less than 700, provide income statements of at least four (4) times the monthly rent amount, and must live and work in Idaho, and have no criminal history. Co-signers are accepted to cure an income shortage or lack of rental history only, not to overcome bad credit.

9. CRIMINAL HISTORY: Convictions on crimes against a person and/or property are not considered. Additional causes for denial can include:
1. Illegal drug or gang involvement of any kind,
2. Any violent act against another person,
3. Vandalism, arson, etc.
4. Burglary
5. Criminal Trespassing
6. Sex offender felony

AUTOMATIC DENIALS:
1. Collection efforts filed by past landlord or property management companies
2. Any unlawful detainer action or eviction
3. Incomplete or unverifiable information on rental application
4. Discrepancies between rental application and verified information
5. Any rental history upon which previous landlord or management refuses to re-rent to applicant

10. SMOKING:
All units are non-smoking (including Vape) and require that smoking tenants do so at least 20 feet away from all entryways and windows.

APPLICATION PROCESSING TIME:
Applications are usually processed within 3 business days, this depends on how quickly your references respond to our inquiries. If request attempts are unsuccessful, Southwest Idaho Management will decline your application after 24 hours of the final request.
