TENANT PLACEMENT

Uplift verifies each applicant’s income, employment, and rental history against the same written criteria and places the first applicant who fully qualifies. Approved tenants sign a lease prepared by Uplift, pay move-in funds before getting keys, and move in after an inspection with detailed photos.

Applicants need a credit score of 650 or higher and income of at least 2.5 times the rent. Each application includes:

• Credit history
• Rental and eviction history
• Employment and income verification
• Criminal background and public records, reviewed individually
• Reference checks
• Government-issued ID and proof of renter’s insurance

Applicants who do not meet every standard may be approved with a larger security deposit, usually with the owner’s approval. All applicants are held to the same standards, as fair housing law requires.

Marketing can start up to 14 days before the current tenant moves out, so a qualified tenant is often lined up before the home is empty. Uplift prices the rental from local comparables, photographs it, and advertises it on 50+ rental sites, with showing access 7 days a week and a streamlined online application. Once an applicant is approved, we hold the home for up to 2 weeks while the lease is signed. See what vacancy costs San Diego owners.

With full management, the Eviction Free Guarantee pays up to $2,000 of attorney fees if a tenant Uplift placed must be evicted for nonpayment, on rents of $2,500 or more while the property remains under Uplift management. Uplift first works with the tenant through its Eviction Avoidance Process. Read the full guarantee terms.

With full management, Uplift collects rent online, handles maintenance requests with 24/7 emergency response, and inspects the property each year. With leasing-only service, you take over after the move-in inspection; compare the two on our leasing-only page.

Uplift processes all applications equally and holds every applicant to the same qualifying standards.

Yes. A co-signer may apply with an applicant to help them qualify, and applicants can submit bank statements or tax returns to show all sources of income.
