SCREENING CRITERIA

We are a small, family‑operated business, and we handle all screening and leasing in‑house. We do not use Zillow’s application documents or Zillow’s lease forms.

We accept valid portable tenant screening reports (generated within the last 30 days and meeting Colorado statutory requirements). If you provide a valid portable report, no application fee is charged.

If you do not provide a portable report, our in‑house screening fee is $49.95 per applicant, which reflects our actual screening cost.

We require all applicants to view the property in person before submitting an application so they can evaluate the condition and suitability firsthand. Virtual tours can be arranged if a disability prevents an in-person tour.
