Sagareus requires two months of income verification, which can include paystubs, a previous year’s tax return, a signed offer letter, or a letter confirming SSI, retirement, child support, Section 8, rental assistance, or other recurring income.

Sagareus requires a ledger or payment record from the previous landlord to demonstrate consistent, on-time rent payments.

Our credit reports, powered by TransUnion, include the applicant’s current credit score, payment history on credit lines, and any collection records.

Enhanced report captures eviction records from the past 7 years.

Comprehensive criminal history report is generated to complete the screening checks and verification.

Potential tenants can be lost with a slow process. At Sagareus, completed applications are processed and responded to within 24 hours.

Sagareus welcomes inquiries from everyone and applies fair, equitable criteria when evaluating all applicants. We consistently enforce our rules without discrimination.

Section 8 is treated as an income source. Once an applicant meets all criteria, Sagareus expedites the Section 8 approval process and applies for state funds to recover any vacancy loss.

Sagareus allows co-signers to help applicants meet criteria. Co-signers undergo the same screening process and are equally responsible for rent payments and any damages after move-out.

Declined applicants receive an adverse action form detailing the reason they were declined. Sagareus will provide a copy of their credit report upon request.
