Application Requirements and Information

Application Process

A non-refundable $35.00 application screening fee is required for each adult who will reside on the premises. Incomplete applications will not be processed until all required information is received. If you are applying with roommates, all applications must be turned in before processing begins. Please allow three (3) business days for processing your application(s). Additional time may be required if references are slow to respond to our inquiry. In most cases, the property owner makes the final decision on your application. North Valley Properties gathers the information, verifies it and then contacts the owner for approval / denial. Applicant understands and agrees that this is an application to rent only and does not guarantee that applicant will be offered the Premises. The manager may accept more than one application for the Premises, and using their sole discretion, will select the best qualified application.

Please review before applying
