As you embark on the search for your ideal home with us, our goal is to make your journey seamless, and enjoyable. Your quest for the perfect abode should be filled with excitement and anticipation, so here’s some information to help prepare you and assist you in avoiding any pitfalls along the way.
At Progress Residential, our homes are available on a "first come, first serve" basis and are not reserved until the lease has been signed by all applicants and security deposits are collected.
First things first, let’s review our qualification requirements *
Now that you’ve learned more about our requirements, here are some common things we may ask for as you progress along your journey.
When applying for a home you will need to pay an application fee and, if approved, a security deposit will be required. For additional details, please review our Leasing Fees page.
You’ll need to decide on a preferred move-in date, which will also be considered your lease start date.
When selecting your move-in date, it’s important to know that you’ll be required to complete a Move-in Orientation by phone or virtually before you access the home. This quick and easy orientation is only available Monday through Friday, so you’ll want to factor this in as you think through the logistics of your moving plans.
If you’re applying to lease one of our “Coming Soon” homes, your move-in date may be subject to change. Please read about applying for these homes here.
Occasionally we may require a guarantor if an applicant does not meet credit requirements.
A guarantor is financially responsible for the rent and other charges incurred but does not live at the property or have a right to occupy it. The guarantor is subject to the same guidelines as applicants. The guarantor must complete a separate Lease Application and pay a Lease Application Fee and will be required to sign a guaranty.
If the guarantor resides in AZ, CA, ID, LA, NM, NV, TX, WA or WI and is married, his/her spouse will also be required to sign the guaranty but will not be subject to the Lease Application or Lease Application Fee.
A guarantor will not help to overcome criminal, civil court, or rental judgments.
Many of our homes are in master-planned communities that are governed by HOAs.
You will be responsible for paying any HOA fees related to application and registration.
HOAs typically provide residents with benefits and amenities in exchange for residents following rules and restrictions that help maintain quality standards throughout the community. These rules and restrictions are laid out in detail in the HOA’s Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs).
Some HOA’s have their own resident and lease approval process, which will occur in addition to our review and approval process. It’s important to note, this may take up to 30 additional days to process, depending on the HOA, so please plan accordingly.
For additional information, please review the Leasing Fees page for details on fees.
