How to apply

Text our Application Hotline at (702) 899-4808 or email apply@cgvegas.com with questions about applying. After you apply, your private application page lets you upload documents and message our team.

Everyone 18 or older who will live in the home applies. The primary criteria we use are:

• A credit score of 650 or higher
• Combined gross income of at least 3 times the monthly rent, shown with documents you upload (new job: an offer letter works)
• Dependable, verifiable rental history
• A satisfactory landlord reference
• Stable employment
• No prior evictions

If an application does not fully meet these, the owner may ask for an additional security deposit of up to three times the monthly rent. The property owner makes the final decision. If you know of a credit issue, a short written explanation helps.

$80 for each adult applicant or co-applicant, and $30 for each additional adult (18 or older) who will live in the home and for each co-signer. You pay on the secure application page when you submit. Corporate applications are $250.

If we do not screen your application because another applicant was chosen first, we refund 100% of your fees. Once we have screened your application, the fee is non-refundable, regardless of the result.

You receive a private page just for you. It shows what we still need, lets you upload documents and message our team, and (when it is time) walks you through your lease and move-in steps. We run credit and rental history screening on a secure screening page, so you enter your Social Security number there and never in our application. We will contact you if we need anything else. RE/MAX Advantage reserves the right to process multiple applications for a property.

Move-in costs are different for every property. If approved, we will tell you the exact security deposit and any move-in fees for your home, and how to pay (by mail or by an ACH request). Costs can include the security deposit, the first month of rent, and property-specific charges such as prorated trash, sewer or pool service. Your private page walks you through each step, including the lease, renters insurance and proof of utilities. Move-in rent must be paid separately from any security deposit.

Yes. View a sample of our lease package. It includes the Greater Las Vegas Association of REALTORS residential lease, the tenant disclosures addendum and our General Addendum. The sample is a blank form with no terms, it is marked SAMPLE, and it cannot be signed. Your actual lease shows the terms for your home and is signed online after your deposit is received.

Security deposits are typically equal to one month rent and are refundable at the end of the lease according to its terms, if the home is returned in good condition. The amount varies by property.

Yes. It is required before we can release the keys, and the policy must include "loss of use" coverage. After you sign your lease, your private page lets you upload your own policy or request a quote from our insurance partner. Your policy must list the additional insured shown on that page.

Utilities must be on before you take possession. After your lease is signed, upload proof that utilities are active in the name of someone on the lease; we need it before we release the keys. We cannot guarantee any utility will be on for your move-in date, so contact the providers early. Republic Services trash service must stay in the owner name.

It depends on the property, the owner, the pet and the applicant. If you answer Yes to pets on the application, the Application for Pet Approval is added for you. The owner decides, and a pet deposit applies per pet. Please tell us about every pet before you apply; undisclosed pets can end your tenancy. Dogs over 40 pounds should be cleared before you submit. Service and assistance animals are not pets, and are not subject to owner approval.

Unfurnished homes are typically leased for one to two years. Furnished homes have flexible terms, shown on each listing.

A complete application includes your permission for us to obtain a rental reference from your current landlord. After you submit, your private page asks you to authorize the verification, and we handle the request online.

RE/MAX Advantage generally will not hold a property longer than 14 days before the lease start date. Check with the property manager if you need longer; the owner makes the final decision.

Mailboxes and mailbox keys belong to the US Postal Service. Plan to have the mailbox rekeyed when you move in; we do not accept returned mailbox keys. USPS.gov can show you the nearest post office.
