Our credit reporting agency will provide us with a complete credit background on all applicants, including: FICO score, credit information, late payments, bad checks, evictions, bankruptcy and collections. Those with poor credit ratings may be denied. In general, a FICO score above 700 is very good, while a FICO score below 600 indicates a high-risk applicant.
If you have a few small marks against your credit but your housing references and income verification checks out fine, applicant may be approved with a qualified local co-signer and/or increased deposit. The applicant should have no more than 25% total negative credit on the current status of all accounts. Any accounts that are over five years old, excluding judgments, will be waived in determining percentage of credit.

  • Your Notice of Action papers with your worker’s name and phone number, you will also have to give release information to PCR.

  • If you are not working and have a savings you are living off of, for example you just sold a home, please provide us with copies of your bank statements/Escrow papers.
  • If income level falls a bit short, but your housing reference and credit checks out fine, applicant may be approved with a qualified co-signer and a larger deposit.

List ALL information asked for on the application, even if you’re staying with family or friends, rent free.

PCR and/or CCPM will obtain telephone confirmation from past housing providers that applicant(s) pay rent on time and do not currently owe any money and are not a source of complaints (noise etc.). We will also verify if a proper 30-day written notice was given; if past lease has expired or if applicant is still liable for future payments. There should be no unresolved debts to a previous landlord/mortgage company in compliance with all terms of the lease/contract and community policies.
If you are new to San Diego or a first time renter you may be approved with a qualified local co-signer and/or an increased deposit.
