Rental Qualifications
Welcome to the Carolinas Dynamic Realty Application Process!
Prior to applying for your new home, please read all of the information included below.
Application Fee
Non-Refundable Application Fee: $75.00 per Individual (payable at the end of this application with any major credit card)
Multiple Applications
Please understand, we often receive multiple applications for the same property. Should we receive multiple applications for the property that you are applying for, the most qualified applicant will be selected. As applications are submitted electronically, and processed immediately by our screening partner, the staff of Carolinas Dynamic Realty may not be aware that multiple applications are pending when you submit your application. Additional applications could also be submitted after you have submitted an application, resulting in our receiving multiple applications.
All application fees are non-refundable, even in the event of multiple applications for the same property. When multiple applicants could all be considered the most qualified, factors such as move-in date, rental rate, and length of lease could be considered. When applying, the application will ask you what move in date you are applying for, what rental rate you are applying for, and what lease term you are applying for. The quickest move-in date is often found favorable.
If you are willing to pay more than the advertised rental rate to secure the property, or sign a 24 month lease as opposed to a 12 month lease, those are all things that you should note on your application, for consideration.
