Identification - Each applicant is required to provide a copy of a legible Government issued photo I.D. card. If possible snap a photo of your ID with your smartphone and email it to applications@GRGSA.com
Income Verification - Income should be at least three (3) times the monthly rent and verifiable from an unbiased source: employer through pay stubs, tax returns, and/or bank statements. Self-employed income may also be verified with a CPA-prepared financial statement or tax returns. 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 the applicant. Applicants who do not meet the above employment or income requirements must submit Savings Account statements showing a minimum average balance equal to 8 months of rental payments for the last 6 months.
Employment - We require verifiable employment history for at least the past three (3) years. You must be a permanent employee (not temporary or probationary). If you are self-employed, retired, or not employed, we can accept such documents as signed tax returns (2 years minimum), bank statements, etc., that provide proof of the applicant's ability to pay the rent. If military, we need a current copy of your LES. If you are active duty military, you must be on an assignment that, to the best of your knowledge, will allow you to complete an initial 12 month lease.
Residence History - We require verifiable residence history for at least three (3) years whether you currently own or rent. Applicants are responsible for providing information including the names, addresses and phone numbers, of Landlords with the dates of tenancy for the previous 3-5 years. Rental history must be verified from unbiased sources. (Cannot be from family or relatives) Home ownership will be verified from a current credit report. We accept base housing as rental history. Evictions within the previous 5 years will be automatic grounds for denial. Broken leases will be considered on a case-by-case basis and an additional security deposit may be required.
Credit History - We will obtain a copy of your credit report from Transunion (HARD INQUIRY). You cannot provide this to us; we will obtain these ourselves. Credit history should show that the resident has paid bills on time and does not have a history of debt “write-offs” or accounts that have gone into collection. Money owed to a previous landlord or utility company is cause for denial. Residency may also be denied due to poor credit history.

REASONS FOR DENIAL OF APPLICATIONS
*If misrepresentations are found after the lease agreement is signed, the lease agreement will be terminated.
Start of Lease:
Vacant Homes: Global Realty Group LLC., has a policy that all leases on vacant homes must begin within 14 days of application approval. We are unable to hold the home rent free without a lease agreement longer than that time.
Occupied Homes: Global Realty Group LLC., will typically advertise a first available date with all of the homes we manage. In some cases, those dates will need to change due to circumstances beyond our control. We ask the approved incoming tenant to be flexible in some cases. We understand the burden this can create and strive to advertise a solid date so incoming tenants can plan accordingly.
Move-In Orientation with Property Reports On-Site (PRO’s Reports): All new tenants at lease signing will pay a one-time Move-In Fee of $150.00. Within the first three (3) business days of the resident move in, arrangements will be made for a walk through inspection with the Property Reports On-Site representative. A representative from Global Realty Group LLC., will not be present during the Move-In PRO’s appointment. Any requested work orders must be submitted separately through your Portal.
The written report will include interior and exterior photos. The exterior will be documented with photos of all four sides of the home, the roof, any exterior equipment, and yard. Interior photos will be of each room, including equipment, any damaged or defective conditions, and an overall view of most areas. A copy of this report will be sent to the resident and Global Realty Group LLC., for record. This Move-In Inspection does not take the place of the required Inventory and Condition Form made available for the tenant to complete at Lease Signing.
What Our Tenants Want You to Know:
