Application Process

GENERAL: Applications must meet the requirements of this Guideline.  

• Each applicant 18 years of age and older must complete a separate application. 

• Incomplete applications may not be considered received until completed in full. 

• Applications may be denied if falsified. 

• Applications may be denied if the information is unable to be verified within 3 business days.

• Processing typically takes 2 business days unless there are verification delays out of our control such as past landlords or county criminal records.

TO COMPLETE YOUR APPLICATION, WE ALSO NEED:

1.    Government issued photo ID (most commonly a driver's license)

2.    Two most recent pay stubs from current employer || Current and prior year tax returns if self-employed

Documentation may be emailed to office@morganidaho.com or mailed to Morgan Property Management, 7150 W Potomac Dr., Boise, ID 83704.

CONTINGENCY LEASE:

If at the time of applying, the applicant wishes to rent the premises, the applicant can pay the security deposit and sign the rental agreement as a contingency lease (the unit is yours unless you are denied via the application process).  The contingency is that Morgan Property Management still needs time(typically two business days) to complete the application verification process.  If the application is denied, the security deposit is fully refunded and the agreement is void.

Leases must start within ten days or upon scheduled available occupancy.

Please email or call immediately if you’ve applied and wish to put down a deposit and sign a contingency lease. Security deposit funds must be via money order or cashier's check.

PET PROFILE: We utilize PetScreening.com profiles to determine approval of pets/animals. If you do not have a profile, there is a fee based on number of pets and they will provide you a pet profile to easily share and maintain your pet information. To create an account, go to

CREDIT:  MPM uses a point system to evaluate credit and does not have a minimum credit score requirement. Applicants get points for negative items on credit report and too many points disqualifies applicants.  Each of the following award points against the applicant: (1) Any 2 credit accounts that have been rated 30-59 days late, (2) Any credit account that has been rated 120 + days late, (3) Any 2 credit accounts which have gone to collection, (4) Any charge off, discharged bankruptcy, vehicle repossession, liens, debt with previous landlord, or any unpaid civil judgments. Any applicant who has an open bankruptcy will automatically be denied. Accounts marked as paid collections do not count as points.

WHAT IF I AM DENIED DUE TO CREDIT HISTORY?: If all other aspects of the application have been qualified, but application is denied due to too many points on credit history, we may still be able to rent to you with an additional deposit. The additional deposit is based on how many points were accumulated, but the total deposit will never exceed 2x the monthly rent.

Paying in advance for the lease in full may waive the financial requirements of the application including the income guidelines below.

INCOME:  Application may be denied unless rent is no more than 40% of verifiable household income(Income being at least 2.5x monthly rent).  To be considered as income, applicant must provide verification of wages, SSI, food stamps, child support, and any other income reported by applicant. Unemployment payments will never be considered income.  

CRIMINAL HISTORY:  Felony convictions may be grounds for denial depending on the nature, severity, and time since the conviction. Felony convictions for an act of violence, sex crime, or illegal manufacture or distribution of drugs within the last 7 years being of the most critical nature. Per federal regulations, special accommodations may be requested for certain drug and alcohol related convictions. 

RENTAL HISTORY:  Applicant must have good rental references unless applicant has just sold their home.  Relatives are not acceptable as rental references.  Application may be denied for evictions, damages beyond normal wear and tear, illegal activity on premises, refusal to re-rent by previous landlord or a balance still owed to previous landlord.

If the property owner agrees to allow a pet, applicant will pay a one-time pet fee of $100 and a pet rent of $25 will be assessed each month, due with that month's rental payment.  Pets must be spayed or neutered and have appropriate vaccinations.  No puppies and no kittens allowed(under one year).  Verified assistance animals are permitted at all of our properties and are exempt from these fees.
