Screening Criteria
Home Key Property Management is committed to conducting business in accordance with Federal and Utah fair housing laws. Each occupant 18 and over must complete an online application and pay the $45.00 application fee. Our screening process looks at a combination of factors, including but not limited to:
-Credit History
-Employment Verification and History
-Income Verification
-Rental Verification and History
-Animal Criteria
Identification: Each applicant is required to provide a copy of a legible government issued photo identification card.
Income & Employment Verification: Income is verified through various documents including pay stubs, bank statements, earnings statements, tax returns, etc. Self-employed applicants are required to submit at least 2 years of tax returns and 3 recent months of business bank statements. Your employment history should reflect at least 6 months with your current employer. Transfers or relocations must have correspondence showing an accepted job offer. Any verification fees required by the employer must be paid by applicant.
Rental Verification & History: We require verifiable residence history for at least 3 years. Applicants are responsible for providing information including the names, addresses, and phone numbers of landlords with the dates of tenancy for the previous 3 years. Applicants should also notify their previous landlords and advise them that a rental verification will be made. Home ownership will be verified. Any evictions in your rental history will severely lower your chances of being approved. Late payments may also severely lower your chances of being approved. All extenuating circumstances will be considered and may lead to a maximum security deposit and additional charges.
Credit History: We will obtain a copy of your screening report and FICO score from AppFolio, Inc. and Experian. You cannot provide your own report, we are required to obtain this information ourselves. Favorable credit histories and scores will give you a higher chance of being approved. We need to see a credit score of 620 or higher.
Multiple Applicants in Group: All applicants will be screened and given consideration as an overall group. If applicants with strong credit profiles apply with weaker applicants, we consider the whole group and base our decisions on a combination of factors. One strong credit profile in the group does not automatically guarantee an approval.
Errors & Omissions: Every effort is made to provide you with reliable and accurate information regarding the home you are applying for. However, changes can and do happen to cause inaccurate information to be accidentally presented. We encourage all tenants to verify schools, allowable pets, expected features, or any HOA concerns prior to signing a lease agreement. Any information posted in our printed and online advertisement does not constitute a written agreement or guarantee of the facts stated.

Information On Animals:
Animal policies vary from one homeowner to another. Some owners do not permit animals, while others restrict type and/or size of allowable animals. No more than two animals per household are permitted without specific owner’s approval.
Most property insurance companies do not allow certain breeds of dogs, either purebred or mixed. Therefore, dogs fully or partially of the following breeds will be rejected: Pit Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Terriers, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Presa Canarios, Chows Chows, Doberman Pinschers, Akitas, wolf-hybrids, Mastiffs, Cane Corsos, Great Danes, Alaskan Malamutes, Siberian Huskies, and any combination of these. Tenants may be evicted for misrepresenting any of the above type of dog, as well as for being in possession of any poisonous, dangerous, endangered species or otherwise unauthorized animal. Our animal policies are strictly enforced and may be grounds for eviction. Special consideration is given to “Service Animals” that assist a tenant with special medical needs (proper and current documentation needed for verification). We require, with your application, a picture of each animal that will be on the property.
Tenant is required to hold/carry additional insurance policy to cover major damages caused by animal/pet. Please contact your insurance provider to get a quote. Average is around $10/month
Standard Animal Fees and Deposits:
$150.00 Animal Administration & Acceptance Fee per approved animal due upon lease signing.
$1,000.00 Pet Security Deposit per approved animal due upon lease signing.
