Short Pump Rentals

We obey all fair housing laws and endeavor to have reasonable and lawful standards for both landlords and renters. All rental applicants are evaluated by our application standards:

We always perform a full background check (credit, criminal, eviction) and the security deposit is equal to a minimum one month rent for all properties. Adverse background information is defined as 1) a credit score less than 650, 2) a history of bankruptcy, short sale, judgements, collections, et cetera, 3) eviction history, and/or 4) criminal history. The landlord is NOT obligated to accept background checks with any Adverse background information and reserves the right to deny the application due to adverse background information. However, at the landlord’s sole discretion, the landlord may consider requiring a two (2) month security deposit and/or prepaid rent if adverse background information exists. The landlord may deny any application that does not comply with the remaining application standards that follow.
Applicants must be willing to start the lease in 4 weeks or less from the date of acceptance or as soon as the property is available if currently occupied.
All leases must be for a minimum of 12 months PLUS prorated days for the first month or more.
Applicants must be willing to sign the lease and provide all upfront funds (See standards #1 and #7) within 2 to 3 calendar days from the date of acceptance. If, for any reason, upfront funds are not paid and/or the applicant will not sign the lease within 3 calendar days, the agent and landlord reserve the right to consider and offer the lease to other qualified applicants.
Stuart Bice and Short Pump Rentals, LLC represents the landlord as a licensed real estate broker.
Pets are subject to owner approval. If accepted, the pet rent is $40 per month, per pet (2 pets maximum) and is non-negotiable.
Upfront funds are due at lease signing. Upfront funds include 1 month security deposit, plus the first month rent (prorated if applicable). If proration is seven (7) days or less, the tenant must also pay rent for the following month upfront. Again, please see standard #1 & #4. If lease signing is less than 14 days from the lease start date, all funds at lease signing MUST be a cashier’s check or money order; no exceptions. No cash accepted. If the check for upfront funds is returned by the bank because of insufficient funds, the landlord or property manager may cancel the lease.
Tenants are financially responsible for rent payments and must be prepared to demonstrate ability to pay rent. We do NOT discriminate against sources of income. The total monthly income should be three times the rent. Failure to provide upfront funds (see #7) at lease signing may indicate that the applicant is not financially suitable for this lease. No guarantor’s accepted.
Applications are accepted on a “first come first serve basis” and the first complete application that qualifies per standard number #1 will be offered the lease.
