    Application Fee

    The Application Fee is non-refundable and is $60.00 for the 1st applicant and $40.00 each additional applicant. The Application Fee is accepted in certified funds only in the form of a cashier’s check or money order payable to Robinson Property Management. RPM outsources our screening to a third party screening service (Background Info USA). A complete background check includes verification of current and previous tenant history, current and previous employment, credit history, contact personal references, and obtaining any criminal history information pertaining to the applicant(s), which may be in the files of federal, state, or local criminal justice agency and to verify any other information deemed necessary to fulfill the tenant requirements.

    Pets

    Whether or not pets are allowed in the property depends on the owner. Pet deposits apply per pet. Restrictions apply to certain breeds of dogs. Penalties apply when there is failure to disclose a pet prior to occupancy. Please notify our office before bringing any pet to the property.
