Please review everything carefully before submitting your application.

• FAIR HOUSING – dwellNV strictly abides by the Federal Fair
Housing Act, Nevada Fair Housing Law and principles of equal  opportunity. We open our doors to all, regardless of race, color,  religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, marital status, source of  income, physical or mental disability, familial status, sexual orientation, or gender identity/expression.

• IF YOU WISH TO SEE ONE OF OUR PROPERTIES – For security reasons, we  always require registration and photo ID through our controlled-access  lockbox system, or a fully-completed rental application, before we will  schedule a property showing. Most of our properties now have controlled  access lockboxes on them (while vacant), which will allow you to set up a  showing via your smart phone.

• PET POLICY – dwellNV is a “pet friendly” property management  company. We welcome pets, on approval, on a case-by-case basis. Whether  you have a pet, a disability-related assistance animal, or no animals at  all, please acknowledge our pet policies BEFORE submitting your  application. The link to register your pets and/or acknowledge our  policies is: https://dwellnv.petscreening.com

• AGENCY DISCLOSURE – You acknowledge you have received the attached  “Duties Owed” by a Nevada Real Estate Licensee” form, and you further  acknowledge your understanding that dwellNV represents the owner/s of  the rental property.

• CONFIDENTIALITY – Your privacy is important to us. Please read our Privacy Policy on our website:

• APPLICANTS – Each proposed occupant 18 years of age or older must  complete a separate rental application. For your identity protection, we  require ALL applications and supporting documents to be submitted  electronically – via email to: michelle@dwellNV.com.  Our application  processing fee is $45 per application, and must be paid before we will  begin review of your application.
This fee is non-refundable. If there is more than one applicant (CO-TENANTS), your application  scores will be blended to arrive at a decision (see attached). All blanks must be filled in. If something doesn’t apply to you, please enter “N/A” in the space provided.

• FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED – We process rental applications on a  first-come, first-served basis. In other words, if we accept your  application/s for processing, that means it will either be approved or  declined. You are not in competition with any other applicant. Your  application/s either meet/s our qualifying criteria, or not. And, our  qualifying criteria is attached, so you’ll know exactly how we will  evaluate your application/s.

• YOUR APPLICATION WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR PROCESSING, UNLESS ALL  REQUIRED INFORMATION IS PROVIDED, INCLUDING APPLICATIONS FROM ALL  CO-TENANTS. THE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS REQUIRED (PHOTO ID, PROOF OF  INCOME, AND REGISTRATION CAN BE emailed to michelle@dwellNV.com  , or  sent via txt to 775-830-6036. Application fees (see above) must be paid  before we will accept your application/s for processing.

• CREDIT CRITERIA – dwellNV will attempt to obtain a consumer credit  report for each applicant. This report must be generated by dwellNV, and  not the applicant. In addition to a credit report, we may also run a  fraud search, eviction search, bad check search, national criminal  database scan, and driver’s license verification.
We also may contact current and previous landlords, employers, and/or  references provided by you. If you currently owe for unpaid utilities,  or owe money to a former landlord, or have been evicted from a rental  within the last five (5) years, your application will be denied.

• INCOME VERIFICATION – Proof of Income: Please provide us with  copies of your last 2 paycheck stubs or a letter on company letterhead  from your employer to verify income – this can be emailed to
michelle@dwellNV.com, or sent via text to 775-830-6036.
If you are self-employed, please provide a copy of last year’s income  tax return and your last 3 months bank statements. Other income such as  retirement, SIIS, child support, etc. must have reliable documentation  if you wish us to consider it. If your combined income (for all  applicants) is less than three (3) times the monthly rent, you will be  required to pay a minimum of 2x the advertised security deposit on the  property.

• IDENTIFICATION – Photo identification is required. Please provide  us with a copy of your driver’s license, or government-issued photo ID.  This can be emailed tomichelle@dwellNV.com, or sent via text to  775-830-6036.

• NUMBER OF OCCUPANTS – The maximum number of occupants allowed in  our rental properties is 3 persons per bedroom. Example: 1-bedroom unit  will accept 3 occupants, 2-bedroom unit will accept 6 occupants, etc.

• SMOKING POLICY – All of our rental properties are non-smoking  properties. No smoking of tobacco, herbal, or other products is  permitted inside any of our rental homes or garages.

• PETS – Most of our properties will consider pets, on approval by  owner, on a case-by-case basis. The final decision as to whether to  approve your pet(s) is always the property owner’s. Your security  deposit will be increased by $500 (refundable) for each approved pet.
We require all prospective renters (even if you don’t have pets) to register and acknowledge our pet policies.  https://dwellnv.petscreening.com 

• RENT PRORATION – All rents are prorated to become due on the first  (1st) day of each month. Leases that commence after the 15th day of the  month will require the full payment of both the first month’s rent and  the pro-rated second month’s rent at the time of move-in, in addition to  the security deposit.

• CRIMINAL HISTORY – We abide by principles of equal opportunity, and  welcome all responsible renters into our homes. If you have been  convicted of a felony within the last 10 years involving drug  manufacture or sales, or a violent crime (such as murder, rape, and  arson), your application to rent will be denied. You will have the right  to appeal any decision we make in this regard, by providing additional  information within 14 days of the day your application is denied.  However, we will not hold a rental property for you, pending appeal. If we reconsider and approve your application, it will be 1st in line for our next available rental property.

• FALSE INFORMATION – If any information provided on your application  proves to be false or misleading, your application will be denied. If  you have already entered into a rental agreement on the property when we  discover that you’ve provided false information, you will be subject to  immediate eviction from the premises.

• HOW AND WHEN DO WE DECIDE? – We process rental applications on a first-come, first-served basis.
(IMPORTANT: Until we have complete applications for all proposed  residents aged 18 or older, plus all required back-up documents (ID,  proof of income, registration and acknowledgement of our pet policies,  plus the application processing fee), your application/s will not be  considered first in line for processing.) It usually takes no more than a  day or two to process rental applications, once we have all required  documents. Please see the attached for a copy of the rating system we  use to score your application. Your application/s will be approved or  denied, and we will notify you of the outcome. You will never be in  competition with another applicant for one of our rental homes.

• ONCE YOUR APPLICATION IS APPROVED – In order to secure your  position as the approved tenant for the home, you must sign a lease  agreement and pay the security deposit within three (3) days of the day  we notify you that your application/s has/have been approved. If the home is vacant at the time you apply to rent, you will be required to  take possession of the property within fourteen (14) days of lease  signing.
Should you fail to comply with these deadlines, the property will be offered to other qualified applicants.

• Thank you for considering renting a home from dwellNV. If you have  any questions about completing your application, please call our office  at 775-830-6036 or email Michelle@dwellNV.com.
