Please review our procedures for tenants that absolutely NEED to move into a rental unit in the next 1–40 days.

Due to the significant increase in sophisticated online scams, fraudulent inquiries and AI-generated communications targeting both consumers and real estate professionals, we require a brief telephone conversation before any appointments are scheduled or documents are sent or completed.

General requirements for rentals, unless the landlord has requirements less than stated below or exceptions apply:

1. Minimum household income: 38 times the monthly rent. Minimum annual income must be verifiable through W-2s, pay stubs, or any other verifiable lawful income source. See the expandable income chart below.
2. If there is no lawful income: must show 24 months' income requirement in a liquid banking/brokerage statement.
3. Credit score: 690 or greater unless you have zero debts or no credit, or never had a credit card or loan.
4. Brokerage fee: Paid by the tenant (unless total fee paid by the landlord).
5. Move-in date within 40 days.
6. Total funds needed to sign the lease: one month's rent, one month's security and brokerage fee (unless paid by the landlord).

Procedures to view rentals after you have talked with a CS Realty Team member:

1. Please fill out the following forms before a CS Realty Realtor can meet you at the property (first-time clients only):
   • Client/Broker Registration/Compensation Agreement
   • Agency Disclosure Form
   • Fair Housing Disclosure Form
2. Copy of credit score from Credit Karma or other source (only if applying for rental).
3. In-person showings with your Realtor; CS Realty will provide a True to Life 3D Matterport Virtual Tour on most CS Realty-listed properties.
