Rental Requirements

Everlane Property Management requires every tenant to submit an online application through Buildium.  Buildium charges a non-refundable $35 application fee per tenant. The application requires a submission of a social security number, along with various personal information, for a credit and background check. The application can be used for multiple properties. All final decisions on tenant approval are made by homeowners, usually within a 48 hour period. Everlane Property Management does not collect payment for applications and cannot reimburse for applications. We wish you all the luck in your housing hunt!
