ACCOMPANIED SHOWINGS

Seeing Your Future Home

We believe in a personalized, secure showing experience.

Accompanied Access:

All property viewings are conducted with a Gulf Lease Partners associate or a licensed co-broke agent present. We do not offer self-showings.

What to Bring:

Ensure that everyone attending the showing brings a valid government-issued photo ID.

Ask Questions:

Take this opportunity to explore the layout, verify cell service, and ask your showing agent about any specific property rules, move-in requirements, or HOA guidelines.

Rental Requirments

APPLICATION SUBMISSION

The Streamlined Screening Process

The Link:

What We Look For:

After your showing, you'll receive a direct online link via RentSpree to submit your application, credit check, and background screening.

A clean rental history, verifiable income (typically 3x the monthly rent), and a solid credit profile.

Animal Verification:

Have a pet or a certified Emotional Support Animal? We require all applicants with animals to verify them independently through Pet Screening platform ensuring all documentation is verified legally and securely before approval.

Rental Requirements

We apply the same criteria to every applicant. Please review them before you apply.

Income:  Verifiable gross monthly income of at least 3x the monthly rent.

 

Credit:  A credit review is part of every application. Applicants who fall short may be offered options such as a co-signer or additional deposit, at our discretion and applied consistently.

 

Rental History:  Verifiable, positive landlord references, no prior evictions, and no unpaid balances owed to previous landlords.

 

Background Screening:  A criminal background check is run on each adult applicant. Results are reviewed case by case, considering the nature of any offense and how long ago it occurred.

 

Identification:  A valid government-issued photo ID for every adult applicant.

 

Who Applies:  Every adult, age 18 or older, who will live in the home must complete an application.

 

Application Fee:  Charged per adult applicant at the time you apply and used to cover screening. Amounts are shown in the application.

 

Move-In Funds:  Due after approval and before key release, typically the first month's rent and a security deposit. Exact amounts vary by property and are listed with each home.

 

How We Review:  Applications are reviewed in the order they are received, and a home is held only once an approved applicant's funds are paid.

SECURING THE RENTAL

Secure, Digital Payments

Once your application is approved, time is of the essence to take the property off the market. We make paying your move-in funds safe and instantaneous — no paper cashier's checks required.

The Payment Link:

You'll receive a secure text link to pay your security deposit and first month's rent electronically, directly from your bank account.

Key Release:

Once your payment clears and the lease is fully executed, we'll schedule your move-in walkthrough. Funds are held securely and released via ACH to the property owner the moment you receive your keys.

MOVING IN & GOING FORWARD

Welcome to Your New Home

On move-in day, a Gulf Lease Partners associate will meet you at the property to complete a move-in inspection, document the property condition, and hand over the keys.

What Happens Next:

Because we specialize strictly in tenant placement, day-to-day management transitions directly to your property owner after move-in.

Rent Collection & Maintenance:

Your owner will give you access to Innago, a free, dedicated digital platform where you can pay rent electronically and log maintenance requests.

Routine Inspections:

To keep the property in top shape, your landlord will coordinate routine inspections — typically three quarterly check-ins and a final inspection upon lease renewal or move-out.

INFORMATION

MODERN TOOLS. LOCAL EXPERTISE

To properly qualify every applicant and keep your funds secure, Gulf Lease Partners works through a handful of trusted, industry-standard platforms. Most of these run behind the scenes on our end — you won't need an account. The exceptions are PetScreening.com and Innago, which you'll use directly.

Online Application & Screening

We run every applicant's credit, background, and eviction screening through RentSpree tenants will simply receive the application link and owners / landlords will receive the reports to review.

Secure Move-In Payments

We collect your security deposit and first month's rent through a secure Paymints.io text link — no account or login required on your end.

Pet Screening

If you have a pet or an ESA, you'll create your own profile here to verify pet health and behavioral history or authenticate ESA documentation.

Online Rent Portal

After move-in, your owner will set you up on Innago — your ongoing portal for paying rent electronically and submitting maintenance requests.
