Before you apply

General requirements & information

Who needs to apply

Each person 18 years or older who plans to live in the property must complete the application process.

What you'll need

A completed Sol Property Management Rental Application, a credit and background screening, and a photo ID.

Income verification

W-2 employees: copies of your last 2 paystubs or your most recent W-2. Self-employed: most recent tax returns or last 2 bank statements.

Rental history

Verifiable history from your current and previous landlords. We reserve the right to decline tenancy if references can't be reached.

Pet & animal screening

Every applicant โ€” pet owner or not โ€” completes a free PetScreening profile to formalize policy acknowledgment.

Renter's insurance

All approved tenants must obtain renter's insurance from their provider of choice before move-in.

Application Process

What to expect, in order

  1. Complete the Solaris Property Management Rental Application and submit a photo ID.
  2. After review, you'll receive a separate email to complete the Credit & Background Check.
  3. Complete the check and pay the non-refundable $32 application fee.
  4. Every applicant completes the Pet Screening โ€” no charge if you have no pet or an assistance animal.
  5. Allow at least 2 business days for processing after all documentation is received. Multiple applications may be reviewed.
  6. You'll be notified whether your application is approved or denied. Approved-but-not-selected applications stay valid for 30 days against any of our other properties โ€” no extra fee.

Selection is based on credit history, rental references, proof of income, number and type of pets (if allowed), and move-in date.

Pet policy

A welcoming environment for everyone.

A welcoming environment is paramount to all of our residents. To make sure everyone understands our pet and animal policies, we use a third-party screening service โ€” and we require every applicant to complete a profile, whether or not you have a pet.

Complete Pet Screening โ†’

Household pets

If approved, a $250 charge per pet is added to your security deposit. Breed, weight, and number-of-pets policies vary by property.

Assistance animals

Service dogs: dogs individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability.
Support animals: trained or untrained animals that provide emotional support or therapeutic assistance.

Intentionally misrepresenting an animal as a service or support animal may be a criminal offense. Please understand your state's laws before proceeding.

Resident Services

Who provides what, town by town.

Pick the town or area where you live (or where you're moving to) and we'll show you the providers for electricity, natural gas, propane, water, sewer & septic, trash, recycling, internet, public transit, schools, hospitals, animal services, emergency alerts, police, and fire. Useful for transferring service before move-in, paying a bill, or knowing who to call.

Pick a town or area above to see the full list of household services, schools, hospitals, public safety, and emergency contacts for that location.

๐Ÿ“ž In an emergency, always dial 911.

The police and fire numbers listed in each card are non-emergency lines for reports, questions, and routine requests. Last updated โ€”. Service boundaries occasionally change โ€” always confirm with the provider for your specific address before signing up for service. If your provider is missing or outdated, email hello@solarispm.com and we'll update it.

Refer a friend

Save $250 โ€” twice if you want.

If you know someone looking for a rental in our area, refer them to Solaris. When they sign a 12-month lease, we credit $250 to your next month's rent โ€” and your friend gets $250 off their first month, too.

  • No cap on referrals โ€” refer two friends in a year, get $500 off your rent
  • You stay anonymous if you want (we won't tell them you referred them)
  • Credit posts to your account once their lease is signed and first month's rent is paid

Available to current Solaris residents in good standing. Some terms apply; full program rules sent on signup.

Refer someone

We'll reach out to your friend within 1 business day with current listings. You both get the credit when they sign a lease.

Required on every lease

Renters insurance โ€” three minutes, three providers.

Every Solaris lease requires a minimum $100,000 personal liability policy that names Sol Property Management, Inc. as an additional interest. We don't sell insurance โ€” pick any provider you trust. Here are three with fast online quotes.

Lemonade

App-first, instant quotes. Most renters pay $10โ€“18/mo for a basic Bay Area policy.

Solaris does not sell renters insurance and receives no commission from these providers โ€” they are listed here as a convenience. Any policy meeting the lease minimums is accepted. Email a copy of your declarations page to hello@solarispm.com before move-in.
