Rental Application Criteria & Lease Steps
Our goal is a transparent and smooth experience. Here is everything you need to know about qualifying and applying for a rental home with aMaxima Realty.
Step 1: Your Application
Our Simple Checklist
- 1
Screening Report
A minimum credit score of 650+ is preferred. We use a soft pull which won't affect your score.
- 2
Income Verification
Your gross monthly income should be at least 2.5 times the rent to ensure financial comfort.
- 3
Residency Verification
We'll confirm your current and previous residency history.
- 4

For a Fair Process
Grounds for Denial
To protect all parties, applications may be denied for reasons such as recent evictions, outstanding rental collections, unverifiable information, or certain criminal convictions.
Step 2: Approval & Securing Your Place
Congratulations! Once approved, you're just a few steps away. You'll receive all documents to review. Paying the holding deposit officially takes the property off the market for you.
Review & Acknowledge: Look over the move-in costs, lease, and holding deposit agreements.
Sign & Pay: Electronically sign the holding agreement and pay the deposit via Bank-to-Bank EFT in the portal. This amount is credited toward your move-in total.
Sign Lease Agreement: With the deposit paid, you'll receive the final lease for your e-signature.
A Quick Note:
Approval is conditional upon the accuracy of your application. Honesty ensures a smooth process for everyone!

Your Questions, Answered
Q: How do I get access to community amenities like the pool or gym?
A: Your welcome email will have all the details on contacting the HOA for keys or access cards.
Q: What about mailbox keys?
A: If keys aren't provided at move-in, you can request them directly from your local USPS branch. They can hold your mail safely until the new keys are ready.
Q: How do I submit a maintenance request?
A: Simply log in to your Resident Portal. It's the fastest way to submit a request and track its progress.
Q: What payment methods do you accept?
A: We prioritize secure bank-to-bank EFT payments. In some cases, credit/debit cards are accepted with a standard processing fee. We accept cashier's check and money order, we rarely accept cash (only in special circumstances).
