All adults who are 18 years of age or older need to complete an application to rent a home from Tricon Residential. In addition, all applicants need to submit to a background screening. Guarantors or co-signers are not accepted for the application and leasing process of our U.S. rental homes. Occupancy standards generally allow for two persons per bedroom, plus one – per household. Local occupancy laws may vary.

Number of Bedrooms Number of Occupants
One Bedroom Three Persons
Two Bedrooms Five Persons
Three Bedrooms Seven Persons
Four Bedrooms Nine Persons
Five Bedrooms Eleven Persons

Applicants need to meet certain qualification criteria for approval to rent. Considerations include credit history, credit status, background, rental history, and income verification.

Criminal History

Criminal background screening information is found in the Application Process section below.

Credit and Income

From your application to rent a U.S. rental home, either an Experian or TransUnion credit report is automatically processed detailing your credit and rental history. If you have initiated a credit freeze on your account in order to keep scammers from opening new accounts in your name, it is imperative that you lift the freeze so that your credit may be reviewed. Tricon Residential uses a rental screening provider to determine eligibility based on analysis of the credit report, rental history and background check.

When qualifying to rent, credit history may carry more weight than credit score. A low credit score or lack of credit history does not mean an automatic rejection. Income to be verified needs to show the household income, including income from all applicants, and should equate to a minimum of three times the monthly rent.
