The prospective tenant(s) must inspect and view the rental property in person before completing an application in order to make sure that it will meet all of their needs. It is important to make note of any requests that you may have and include those requests in the application. We cannot guarantee that the property owner will consider additional requests for non-essential items after the lease has been signed.
Feel free contact our Oahu property management team if you will not be able to see the property in person before you apply.
Prospective tenants should provide a list of any request that they would like the property owner to consider. Please note that the owner can accept an application but decline the requests. Request lists can be emailed to applications@happydoorspm.com.
Adults and anyone 18 or older must submit an application. Each applicant will have to qualify after reviewing their background history. This may include without limitation reviewing personal characteristics, overall character, criminal background, credit history, lifestyle, and reputation.
The prospective tenant gross income per month must be a minimum of 2.5 times the rent amount in order to qualify for the property. The purpose for this requirement is to help ensure that you and your family can comfortably afford the monthly rent for the property.
To verify your income, we will need 2 recent paystubs. Alternatively, we are able to use your 2 previous tax returns in order to determine your monthly income if you are self-employed. We can only use the information reported within these documents. Tips and other sources of additional income which are not documented cannot be counted towards your income.
If you receive supplemental income or aid such as social security, child support, secured and structured settlements, or subsidized housing like Section 8, we will need documentation showing that you will continue to receive this additional income through the duration of the lease.
If you have a guarantor, they will need to apply and will be subject to a back ground check. Guarantors will be equally responsible for the rent and adhering to all terms of the lease rental agreement.
Note: Not all properties in Hawaii under our management qualify for Section 8. Please contact our Oahu property management team to verify if there any section 8 properties available.
Pets will be taken into consideration on an individual basis and the property owner cannot make a determination to approve the pet until after they have had an opportunity to review the entire application. There are many factors an owner takes into consideration when deciding to lease their property on Oahu to an applicant and they need to consider all these factors before making a decision.
If accepted, the owner may require a rent increase and/or an additional deposit due to additional wear and added risk that the property will incur
Note: The prospective tenant(s) is obligate to disclose whether or not their pet(s) has shown or exhibited any previous signs of hostility or aggression.
Service Animals; By law, we cannot make a determination whether or not to accept an applicant based on there need to have a service or emotional support animal. Such animals must be specifically trained for the individual in need of assistance and the tasks performed must be directly related to that person's disability. In addition, to qualify for a service animal in the state of Hawaii, the disability must substantially limit one or more major life activities.
Disabilities are a very sensitive matter and we do respect your privacy. However, we do need some general background information from you in order for us to validate whether or not your service or emotional support animal meets the minimum requirements outlined by the ADA and state of Hawaii.
To do this, your physician or medical practitioner provide a letter stating whether or not you have a disability that substantially limits one or more major life activities and that you are in need of a service or emotional support animal. A general recommendation to have a service or emotional support animal does not qualify. There must be an established need that is verified by a medical practitioner who is qualified to make such determinations. The letter needs to be signed by the practitioner, state their qualifications, and it also must indicate that the appointed service animal has been specifically trained to carry out your needs.
All necessary information must be received within two business days in order to process an application. If the information is not received within two business days, the application will automatically be declined and any the prospective tenants will forfeit any prepaid application fees.
Once the application is approved by the owner, the prospective tenant(s) will need to sign the rental agreement and pay the required security deposit no later than two business days from the date of approval. The first rent payment can be paid at that time or before the prospective tenant(s) receives the keys to the property.
We can hold properties in Honolulu and on the island of Oahu up to two weeks after the application has been approved. The prospective tenant should make a request in the application if additional time may be needed.
Both the first monthsrent and security deposit can be paid by money order, certified funds, or online using a checking or savings account. Cash and credit cards will not be accepted. Online payments must be initiated five business days before the move-in date to allow sufficient time for the funds to clear the bank.
