About this video

Know exactly how you'll be judged before you spend a dollar. The complete deep dive on our published rental criteria: how the five rent-based tiers work (your tier is set by the home's monthly rent — not your income), how credit, income, and rental history each map to your security deposit (the highest single multiplier — never stacked), the assets-based path for strong savers, the hard stops, how groups and qualified cosigners work, and how to strengthen a weak application starting with our free eligibility calculator. A thin credit file is not a rejection. Every number is published on our site. Equal Housing Opportunity.

Pets, ESAs & Service Animals — The Complete Policy

Renting with a furry family member in Dallas–Fort Worth? Our complete animal policy in one guide: up to two pets per home (12+ months old, spayed/neutered, vaccinated), the published restricted-breed list, what's not allowed, the fish-tank exception, and exactly what pets cost — no pet deposit, a one-time $400 fee and $30/month pet rent per pet. Plus the part most companies get wrong: service animals under the ADA and emotional support animals under the Fair Housing Act are not pets — no pet fees, no breed restrictions, ever. Every animal registers through our PetScreening portal, and the always-current policy lives on our site. Equal Housing Opportunity.
