Rental Application Instructions

1. Visit www.1stAmericanAz.com to complete the application in its entirety.
2. Select AVAILABILITY/VIEW AVAILABLE RENTALS and choose the property you are interested in. Then press the APPLY button.
3. Each proposed occupant of the property (18 years and older) must complete a separate application and submit the application fee. Complete all areas.
4. The $65.00 non-refundable application fee per applicant/co-signer will be forfeited to 1st American Real Estate and Property Management whether the application is processed, accepted or declined for any reason. 
5. Upload legible copies of each applicant's valid United States driver's license or United States government issued identification.
6. Upload copies of your pay stubs for the past month. If self-employed, include copies of the past 12 months of bank statements and prior year tax return (additional information may be requested). If you have other sources of income (child support, social security, alimony, etc.), please upload the valid supporting documentation.
7. Once the Rental Application fee is paid and the application has been submitted along with all applicable supporting documentation, it will be considered complete and processing will begin. If any items are incomplete or missing, the application is considered incomplete and will not be processed. Completed applications are processed on a bulk basis and a decision may be rendered on any application at any point in time. Applications are typically reviewed within 48 business hours; however, the final processing depends on responses from outside sources such as employers and prior landlords.
8. Upon application approval, an approval letter will be emailed to the applicants with detailed instructions and dates including a link to set up the utilities in the applicants' name(s). The dates provided include the date the lease must be electronically signed, the security deposit and first month's full rent must be paid and the transfer date for utility accounts.
9. The lease will be emailed to each applicant via Authentisign for electronic signing.
10. Once the lease is electronically signed by all required parties, we will send the applicants an invitation to create their tenant online portal. Once the applicant creates the portal, the tenant will make two separate deposits as explained on the approval letter, the refundable security deposit and the first month's full rent. If there is any pro-ration for a move-in prior to the first of the month, that pro-rated amount will be due on the first of the next month.
11. The tenant portal will be used to pay the monthly rent on the first of each month regardless of it being a weekend day, holiday, etc. The first is the first always.
12. All work orders must be submitted by the tenant through this portal.
13. Once the lease is signed and deposits are made the rent deposit immediately becomes non-refundable.
14. Failure to transfer utilities to the tenants' name as directed on the approval letter will result in the lease being voided.
15. On the lease start date the tenants will be emailed and /or texted the key box code on the home. Once the tenant removes the key please call your property manager so we can remove the key box.
16. If you are concerned about crime in the area of the rental or other issues, that you deem important, complete your due diligence before signing the lease and making the required deposits.
17. If tenant does not utilize the utility set-up link on the approval letter, the tenant must supply the account numbers to 1st American Real Estate and Property Management by the date noted in the approval letter. Failure to do so will result in not receiving the property keys on the lease start date.
18. At move-in the tenant will find the move-in checklist. Within 5 days, tenant must submit to 1st American Real Estate and Property Management a completed move in check list for the property, signed by all tenants.
