What do I need to apply for a rental?

Most landlords ask for a government-issued photo ID, recent pay stubs or an offer letter showing income of roughly three times the monthly rent, recent bank statements, a credit report, and rental references. Having these ready before you tour lets you apply the same day.

How much money do I need up front?

First month, last month, and a security deposit is the most common structure in South Florida, though it varies by landlord. Many condo buildings also charge a separate association application fee and may require their own deposit. We tell you the full number before you apply.

How long does approval take?

Landlord approval usually takes one to three business days. If the property is in a condo or HOA community, the association's approval can take two to four weeks in many buildings, so we start that process the moment you are accepted.

Do I pay a fee to work with a BreakThru agent?

In most South Florida rentals the landlord pays the agent commission, so there is usually no fee to you. If a specific listing works differently, we tell you before you tour it.

How do you decide what my property should rent for?

We pull current active and recently leased comparables in your building or neighborhood, adjust for finishes, view, floor, parking, and furnishing, and recommend a price that leases quickly without leaving money on the table.

What does tenant screening include?

Credit history, verified income, criminal background, eviction history, prior landlord references, and identity verification. We also manage the condo or HOA application when your community requires one.

How quickly can you lease my property?

It depends on price, season, and the building, but well-priced homes with professional marketing typically receive applications within the first couple of weeks. Overpriced listings sit, which is why the pricing analysis comes first.

Do you offer ongoing property management?

Yes. Choose Tenant Placement if you prefer to manage the property yourself, or Full-Service Management if you want rent collection, maintenance, renewals, and reporting handled for you.
