Lease Screening & Pre-Qualification

How it Works

Lease Screening & Pre-Qualification

Before we schedule showings, we require a one-time lease screening fee so we can confirm fit, guide you to realistic options, and move faster through the leasing process.

Broker-led intake and coordination to help you avoid wasted landlord application fees and focus on properties that match your criteria.
  • Criteria review (budget, move date, occupancy, pets, preferred areas)
  • Qualification reality-check (income expectations and common approvals)
  • Showing coordination and leasing guidance (homes and/or apartments)
  • Helps reduce wasted application fees by targeting the right properties first

Have questions or feeling unsure before moving forward?

Our leasing team is available to walk you through the process, explain next steps, and make sure you’re comfortable before submitting your application.

No pressure — a quick conversation can help clarify everything before you proceed.

Credit Screening: As part of our lease screening process, we use a single, reusable credit and background screening through MySmartMove by TransUnion. This allows us to confirm qualifications early, avoid wasted applications, and move forward efficiently. The screening is tenant-controlled and can be shared with multiple landlords or agents, eliminating the need for repeated credit pulls. Willingness to complete this step indicates readiness to actively lease and allows us to commit time and resources to your search.
Important: This is a Leasing Managers service fee (not a landlord’s application fee). Any property or landlord application fees are separate and set by the owner or management company. This fee is non-refundable but reimbursable at closing when a commission is paid.
What gets reimbursed? Your Lease Screening fee plus eligible landlord/property application fees — up to $400 total, with receipts — when you successfully lease through our process and a commission is paid.
Applies To: Residential homes and apartments (Houston and surrounding areas).

Get Your Fees Back (Up to $400)

Pay the lease screening fee, apply strategically, and if you successfully lease through our process, we reimburse eligible fees at closing — up to $400 total.

What This Means for You

You can move forward confidently without feeling like you’re throwing money away on paperwork. Follow our process, we guide you to the right properties, and your eligible fees come back at closing if you successfully lease.
  • You pay upfront so we can start immediately (intake, qualification review, showing coordination)
  • You apply strategically (to the right properties, not everything
  • If, and when, you lease successfully and a commission is paid, we reimburse eligible fees up to $400 total
Reimbursement is issued only after a lease is executed through our process and a commission is received.
Reimbursement applies only when (a) you successfully execute a lease through our process and (b) a commission is received. If a lease is not executed or no commission is received, no reimbursement is issued.
Eligible fees include the Leasing Managers Lease Screening fee and property/landlord application fees paid to the owner/management company. Landlord/property fees must be documented with receipts.
Total reimbursement is capped at $400 per leasing transaction (combined total of all eligible fees).
Provide receipts for any property/landlord application fees and confirm the lease execution details. Reimbursement is issued at closing/move-in after commission funds are received.
Leasing Managers does not make approval decisions. Credit, background, and final screening are performed by the landlord or property manager during the official application process.
