Dermot Rental Requirements Rental requirements for renting and apartment with The Dermot Realty Management Company are as follows:
□ Non-refundable application fee is $100 per person, plus a $500 Binder Deposit to put your application first in the queue. □ Applicants need to show income of at least 40 times monthly rent and a secure and stable employment history. □ Applicants must have a credit score no lower than 650. A major component of the approval process is based on the credit score. The following items can negatively impact your credit report: o A number of old late payments o High revolving balances o Past due payments that are outstanding o Delinquencies and collections o A public record (a day in court) o A Landlord-Tenant record If you think your credit score may be lower than the required number, advise our office when submitting an application so we can review your other documents and confirm whether you should apply or not. In some instances we will allow renters to provide additional security deposit or may require a guarantor. However, we reserve the right to simply reject the application if you do not meet the application requirements. □ Renters must show a good rental history. □ Renters need to have a social security number. If you do not have a social security number or are not applying for one you must have a guarantor co-signing your lease.
