Vine & Branch Management LLC (VBM) will notify you of your approval status after evaluating your application. This notification will also include your approved price range. We will not allow your monthly rent to exceed 30% of your gross monthly income. For example if you make $2500 a month you would be pre-qualified for a rental of $750 or less. (The submission of an application does not guarantee pre-qualification or placement in one of our properties.)
A Vine & Branch Management representative may contact you to find out more about what you are looking for - such as number of bedrooms, bathrooms, areas you are interested in and discuss any properties we currently have available. Once your application is approved, we will schedule a time for you to view some of our available units. The individual who shows you the unit has multiple appointments throughout the day and will only be at each unit for a specific amount; for this reason we ask that you arrive promptly to your scheduled appointment.
ALL applications are reviewed in the order they are received. If you are notified that you have been approved as a renter, you will be contacted via email with full instructions on how to proceed. We will require full security deposit and first month's rent in the form of money order or cashier check. Once we have received funds, you will be issued a receipt and shortly after will receive an Electronic Signature document request. Lease signings must be completed a minimum of 7 days prior to your move-in date. The property will remain on the market until a lease has been signed. However, if your application has been approved and the property you requested is no longer available, we will continue to work with you until we are able to pair you with a suitable property.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email our marketing department at info@vineandbranchwi.com or call 920 793 1444
