The application process is one of the most important steps that tenants will take in procuring a new rental home. We as property managers in Atlanta and the surrounding suburbs keep the process simple and efficient.
Online Rental Applications
Through our website, prospective tenants who have seen a property and know they want to rent it can apply online. On the Platinum Property Management Services, Inc. website, click on the ad or listing for the home you’re interested in. You will see a button that invites you to ‘Apply Online.’ Click on it, and you’ll be directed to the application form, which you can fill out and submit digitally.
Your application will arrive in the leasing office, and it’s always our goal to have you approved as quickly as possible. You should expect to hear from us in between two to four business days. There are a few things you can do to help us screen your application quickly and then call you with the good news that you are approved to rent a home.
Prepare Your Income Verification Documentation
You will need to have the proper income documentation to support your rental application. Please upload or email these documents to our team for verification of your earnings and to confirm your ability to afford the monthly rent. Provide this income information up front. Delays in providing this information, or multiple requests for it, may slow the process and risk another applicant being approved for your chosen property.
If you’re not sure about what you need to provide, reach out to us for help. We would be happy to answer questions about what we require. You will need to show us how much you get paid and when. For more details, review the Frequently Asked Questions section of our website.
Provide Accurate Landlord Contact Information
Another effective way to expedite the processing of your application is to inform your landlords that we will be contacting them. We conduct reference checks with current and former landlords, so it’s important to provide accurate contact information. We will either call or email. Informing them to expect our contact will facilitate the information gathering process. Give those landlords a heads-up so they will be prepared when we contact them.
Additional Rental Application Considerations
Remember that the Atlanta rental market is competitive. When you apply for a home, be aware that multiple applications may be submitted for the same property. To get ahead of the competition, ensure your documentation is submitted promptly and inform your landlords to expect our call.
When two or more adults will be living in the home, each adult must submit a separate application. Individuals can apply online, and we will cross-reference the applications to make a decision regarding everyone moving in together.
Our application packet is comprehensive. We recommend reviewing it before applying to familiarize yourself with our tenant screening process.
