Each application must include:

  • Answers to all questions including current employment and current landlord information
  • Signatures are required in order to process application
  • Only completed applications will be processed
ONLINE TENANT APPLICATION

Submit Application and Processing Fee

The completed application can be submitten online, or sent via email, fax or delivered to our office. There is a mail slot allowing you to drop off applications outside normal business hours. You may pay the application fee online through our website or include a check or money order with your application. Checks are to be made payable to East Bay Property Management, and to qualify for a unit, you must meet the following criteria:

  • Your credit record must be satisfactory (over 700). If your credit history shows any derogatory credit, we may reject your application.
  • Your combined monthly income should be at least three times the monthly rent and must be verifiable.
  • You must have satisfactory rental references from at least two prior landlords or for at least the last two years. If you have ever been evicted or sued for any lease violation, we may reject your application.

Application Processing

We will check your credit, income and rental references to confirm that they meet our rental criteria. The processing of an application takes 24-48 business hours from when we receive a complete application and processing fee payment. Incomplete applications or missing payment will delay the start of processing.

Approval

If your application is approved, you will have 24 hours to sign the lease and pay the security deposit. This will hold the unit for your tenancy. Without the signed lease and security deposit we will continue to offer the unit as available.

Occupancy Guidelines

We adhere to all applicable fair housing laws in determining the number of occupants who reside in a unit. EBPM is an equal housing opportunity provider.
