Hi - our apartment is nice and ready to show this weekend. I want to have a consistent list of renter requirements before we communicate directly with the three possible renters who have shown interest. The goal is to get a high quality renter with good habits and excellent payment history (like everyone.)
Also important to fill the apartment before the end of the year.
Thank you in advance. What am I missing?

3 x income, proof of employment and permission to contact employer
recommendation from current landlord and excellent payment history for past 2-3 years
good credit history, no evictions or accounts in collections
no criminal associations or background without approval
permission to check employment, personal, credit and criminal history

pets on a case by case basis (quiet, good neighbors, good habits, not aggressive or aggressive breed)
additional pet cost monthly and additional pet deposit
bonus if move in Dec 15, second month free
includes cleaning service 2 times a month, no additional cost to renter
first level floors and bathroom cleaned
680 plus utilities, cleaning service included

each adult over 18 on lease needs approval
must provide access to cleaning person without delay or inconvenience
must submit payments by ACH debit or by means acceptable to property management company
dishwasher allowed with approval
show proof of renters insurance
