Grab these items before you get started for the smoothest experience:

• • Valid Government-Issued ID:
    • Examples: Driver’s License, Passport or ID Card.
    • Important: Register with the name exactly as it appears on your ID. Temporary paper IDs or US Military IDs are not accepted.
  • Social Security Number
  • Banking Application Login Information: Needed for income verification.
  • Smartphone:
    • You’ll need it to take a quick selfie!
    • Make sure you’re in good lighting and remove any hats, sunglasses or masks.

Think of screening as a few quick checkpoints:

• • Registration and Application. You’ll receive an email after touring the apartment to begin the process. (Have your ID and smartphone ready!)
  • Credit Screening and Rent History Review. Your Rent Bureau Rent History and credit screening will be reviewed. This step determines your level of credit risk (minor to severe), which affects approval and the required security deposit.
  • Employment and Income Verification. Verification is completed using your Social Security Number. If automated verification is unavailable, you will be asked to link your bank account or upload a pay stub.
  • Criminal History Check. This is the final step before an application decision is made.

• Identity Verification:
  • We use ID Verify technology to confirm your identity.
  • It compares your selfie with the photo on your official ID (e.g., driver’s license or passport).
  • This ensures a secure and efficient verification process.
• Employment and Income Verification:
  • We use Equifax’s The Work Number to instantly verify your employment and income. If that’s unavailable, you might need to securely connect to your bank account or upload a pay stub.
  • Income Verification:
    • Nova Credit securely analyzes data from your checking or savings accounts or pay stubs to verify your income.
    • Data is encrypted, and banking information is only accessed once for verification purposes.
    • You will receive an email from no-reply@novacredit.com to complete this step.
  • Risk Level Assessment:
    • Based on your credit and income information, a risk level is determined. (Applicants with no established credit can still be approved!)

Application can take as little as 3 minutes if everything is linked and good to go. Manual income verification could take up to 48 hours. Pro tip: for the speediest process, have all your documents ready to go.

Income verification may take up to 48 hours. If approved, the next steps are:

• • Pet Screening: If you have pets, you will need to complete the pet screening process.
  • Jetty Bond (if applicable): If you choose to use Jetty, you’ll need to purchase a bond through the link provided in your approval email.
• Once those are done and approved, your lease will be generated and sent for signature. Sign ASAP to get everything locked in!

Don’t sweat; we’ll email you with exactly what’s needed! Depending on what’s missing, you’ll either upload it to your portal or just reply directly via email.

• We accept a variety of income verification methods:
  • Linking your bank account (fastest method!)
  • Uploading your three most recent pay stubs as separate PDFs
  • Providing a clear PDF of your 1099 or W-2 tax form
  • Linking payroll, if applicable.
• Identify verification requires you to enter your personal details, your government-issued ID and real-time selfie. If anything is unclear or doesn’t match, we’ll send you an email to request that you try again.

Almost all documents need to be uploaded as PDFs via the portal for the most efficient processing. The exception is offer letters, which need to be emailed and must be official letters on company letterhead, signed and dated within 30 days.

Double-check to make sure everything is labeled correctly — if it’s mislabeled, we can’t accept it!

Uh oh! This usually means there was a formatting issue, incorrect labeling, or missing info required for verification. Please try again with an alternative verification method, such as linking a bank account, providing pay stubs or uploading a tax form.

Yep! If your income doesn’t meet the requirements, you can add a guarantor through your application portal or provide their full name and email to have an invitation sent directly to them. The guarantor must meet our credit and income qualifications.

No worries; we’ll let you know! Depending on the timing, your application might still be recoverable. If it was closed and you’re still interested, reach out within 30 days and we’ll see what we can do.

Pet Screening is required for all applicants with animals. You will need to complete a Pet Screening profile and provide details about your pet to determine any applicable pet fees. If you have an assistance animal, it must go through an approval process, so time is of the essence! Be sure to complete your profile ASAP. Check your approval email for the link to complete Pet Screening.

Jetty is a security deposit alternative option that allows you to pay your deposit in installments or as a smaller one-time payment. (Plus, it’s faster than a standard credit check, while considering more than just credit history.)

If you opt for Jetty, you’ll be able to complete your move-in with a lower initial cost. To use Jetty, you will need to sign up through the link provided in your approval email and purchase a bond. Please refer to your “Payment Details” for your approved deposit amount.
