Rental Information
We try to make the process of leasing an apartment for rent in Moscow and Lewiston, ID as simple as possible. We’ve collected the most commonly requested information for both current and potential tenants below. If your question is not answered in this section, please contact us and we will be happy to help you!
Minimum Leasing Requirements
We are thrilled that you are interested in leasing with Lauder Management. As a reminder, please do not apply to any sites for any units as our $50 application fees are non-refundable for any reason(s). Your leasing agent will walk you through the touring, leasing and application processes. We do not release or consider applications prior to viewing an apartment with a leasing agent. After you have toured with an agent, we will send you a personalized link to apply with instructions on how to submit it.
Here are the minimum requirements to be able to lease through Lauder Management:
– Risk assessment score of 600+. This score is not your FICO credit score but very closely related. The application system will be screening for: accounts in collections, charge offs, bankruptcy, foreclosures and timeframes. Failure to meet this qualification may lead to a denial.
– Current local monthly income (~2.5x the monthly rent of the desired unit).
– Ability to pass a criminal background check (felonies or violent offenses may lead to a disqualification, but your agent will be able to advise further).
Based on your individual results, your application will be approved (or denied). If you cannot meet these requirements, we will ask for a guarantor or additional deposit(s). A cosigner will need to submit an application, qualify with the same requirements, pay the fees, and be approved. Deposits may range anywhere from 1x-2x the rental rate of the desired unit.
