Applying for a Rental & Tenant Selection Policy
Thanks for your interest in one of our rentals. Browse our list of available properties at our View Available Rentals page. Once you find the property you like, you can apply online under the property listing page.
It’s our goal to process your application as quickly as possible. Our application process usually takes two business days from the time we receive the complete application. It may take longer if we are unable to reach your references.
To be fair to all prospective candidates, our office policy for choosing applicants is based on three criteria:
Credit History: We will review your credit report and you need to have a minimum beacon score of 620 points with no derogatory remarks such as late payments, accounts under collection, charge-offs, etc.
Verifiable Source of Income: You must have a verifiable source of income that is at least twice the rental amount for the duration of your lease. If you are self employed, retired or independently wealthy, you will need to provide written proof as tax returns, bank statements, etc.
Rental History: You must provide us at least two positive rental references. Make sure your previous landlord contact information is current.
Team Real Estate works for the owners of the property and our job is to find the best possible tenants for our clients’ units. If you don’t meet our criteria, consideration of your application will be done on an exception basis; this may require a cosigner on the lease and is contingent upon reviewing your application with the owner of the property and the owner’s willingness to make an exception.
We reserve the right to not process an application. Credit information is held in strict confidence and will be provided to the applicant upon request for a $20 fee.
Moving to Hawaii
If you are planning to move to Hawaii, we recommend that you monitor our list of available rentals so you can become familiar with the type of housing that is typically available on Oahu. It is our policy that you personally preview the property you are interested in before we enter into a rental agreement. You need to be in Hawaii before securing a long-term rental with us. We recommend that you rent a short-term rental for your first month here. This provides you the time to find a permanent home that meets your needs.
