Thank you for trusting in Box Residential Property Management to help with finding your new home.  We want the application process to be quick and easy for you.  Please note that we conduct a thorough background, credit and criminal check on all applicants.  Below you will find a list of items that you will need to submit with your application and some tips to prevent any delays in the processing.  
We screen each application immediately upon submission.  If your application passes our pre-screening qualification criteria and the property you are applying for is still available, you will be sent an invitation to submit an application deposit. This deposit is equal to 1/2 the security deposit and will serve to hold the home off the market for a maximum of 72 hours while we complete your application. If your application is approved, the application deposit will be immediately deposited and you will be required to sign a lease within 3 days of approval. If you fail to sign the lease within the 3 day time period or fail to move-in to the property upon the signing of a lease, the application deposit will be forfeited to reimburse the owner for lost rents. If you do not submit the application deposit, we will continue to accept applications on the property that you have applied for and any other qualified applicants will also be given the opportunity to submit a deposit.
