Application fees help cover the cost of screening and processing services. In accordance with Montana law, refundable amounts may be returned for any screening services that were not completed.

Most properties require applicants to provide proof of gross monthly income equal to at least two times the monthly rent. Some properties may have additional qualification requirements.

Credit history is one of several factors considered during the application review process. While requirements may vary by property, general credit guidelines are as follows:

700+ — Generally qualifies for standard approval with completed application and supporting documentation.

550–699 — May require additional review or supporting criteria.

Below 550 — Applications below this range may not qualify for approval.

Outstanding collections related to previous landlords, utility providers, telecommunications services, or internet/cable accounts may need to be resolved prior to approval consideration.

Most applications are reviewed within approximately 72 business hours. Processing times can vary depending on the completeness of the application, reference responses, and overall application volume.

Weekends and holidays may extend processing timelines.

Applications are reviewed based on several qualification factors, including income, credit history, rental history, and references. Reasons an application may not qualify include:

• Incomplete applications or missing documentation
• Previous evictions or outstanding landlord collections
• Insufficient income or inability to verify income
• Unsatisfactory rental or personal references
• Active bankruptcies
• Credit concerns, including limited or low credit history
• Restricted pet breeds or excessive number of vehicles

Criminal history is reviewed on a case-by-case basis in accordance with applicable laws and property requirements.

A co-signer may be requested for applicants with limited rental history, limited credit history, or additional qualification concerns.

In some cases, an increased security deposit may be considered as an alternative to a co-signer, depending on the property and application.

Co-Signer Requirements

Co-signers must:

• Have a credit score of 700 or higher
• Provide verifiable income
• Have gross monthly income of at least three times the monthly rent

Co-signers must meet income and qualification requirements established by the property.

Many of our properties allow pets, though pet policies and restrictions vary by property. Please review the individual listing details to confirm whether pets are permitted.

Availability changes frequently, and some properties may have upcoming openings that are not yet listed online. Please contact our office for current availability and upcoming rental opportunities.

Many of our properties can work with housing voucher programs, depending on the property and program requirements. Applicants must still meet the property's qualification criteria, including any applicable income requirements.
