Leasing Process
At Wilpo Rentals, our leasing process is designed to be fair, efficient, and transparent—so both tenants and our team know exactly what to expect from first interest to move-in day.
We value your time and believe that clear expectations lead to great tenancies.
Step 1: Express Interest
Once you find a home you're interested in, start by clicking “Express Interest” or “Schedule a Showing” on the listing.
You’ll be directed to a short pre-screening form that helps us confirm the home is a good match before scheduling a tour.
This quick step prevents wasted time and ensures we show homes to applicants who are genuinely qualified and ready.
Step 2: Pre-Application Qualification
Before any showings are scheduled, we ask a few simple pre-qualification questions. This does not require a payment or credit pull.
The purpose is to make sure:
- The rent fits your budget
- Your move-in timeline aligns with availability
- The occupancy size is appropriate for the unit
- Pets (if applicable) meet policy
- Past rental history meets minimum expectations
- Typical Pre-Qualification Questions:
- When are you looking to move?
- How many people will live in the home?
- Total monthly household income?
- Current employment status?
- Any pets? (type, size, number)
- Reason for moving?
- Prior evictions or unpaid landlord balances?
- If the home appears to be a good fit, we’ll invite you to schedule a showing.
If not, we’ll notify you respectfully — saving you the effort and expense of applying unnecessarily.
Step 3: Schedule a Showing
Qualified prospects will be invited to schedule a private or group tour.
During your tour:
- You're encouraged to inspect the unit
- Ask questions freely
- Picture your living experience
- Assess whether the home meets your needs
Our goal here is mutual fit — not pressure.
Step 4: Submit Full Application
If you like the property and want to move forward, you may then submit a formal application through our secure system.
Application Requirements:
- Each adult (18+) must apply individually.
Typical requirements include:
- Valid photo ID
- Two most recent pay stubs or offer letter
- Application fee
- Rental history
- Employer and income verification
- Landlord references
- Consent for background and credit screening
Your application is processed securely and confidentially.
Step 5: Screening Process
We review applications holistically and fairly.
Our screening may include:
- Income verification
- Rental history review
- Credit report
- Criminal background check (where permitted by law)
- Previous landlord references
- Employment verification
We strive to make a decision within 24–48 hours of receiving a complete application.
NOTE: Incomplete applications may result in delays.
Step 6: Approval & Lease Offer
Once approved, you will receive:
- An email confirmation
- A lease agreement sent digitally
- Move-in instructions
- Payment instructions for deposits and first month’s rent
Leases are completed electronically for convenience.
Until deposits are paid and the lease is signed, a unit remains available to other applicants.
Step 7: Secure Your Home
To reserve the home:
- Lease must be signed
- Deposits paid
- Move-in date confirmed
Once complete, the home is officially yours.
Step 8: Move-In Day
You’ll receive:
- Final walk-through checklist
- Entry instructions
- Utility setup checklist
- Welcome information
We professionally prepare each home before your arrival.
Why We Do It This Way?
Our process protects both applicants and the homes we manage:
Applicants avoid unnecessary fees
Owners protect their properties
Expectations are clarified early
Showings are purposeful, not chaotic

Risk is reduced on both sides.
It creates better homes and better relationships.
