Tenants

At JC Florida Realty LLC, we understand the importance of finding the perfect home, and we strive to make the process as convenient as possible for our future residents. You can typically schedule a showing with just a 24-48 hour advanced notice. We value personal communication and kindly request that all potential residents give us a call for a quick voice verification. This allows us to introduce ourselves, conduct a brief needs analysis, and ensure that we are serving you to the best of our ability. We look forward to assisting you in finding your ideal home!

At JC Florida Realty, we prioritize getting to know each individual to ensure a suitable match between tenants and our properties. With extensive experience managing thousands of properties, we have established criteria that align with industry standards while emphasizing a personalized approach.

Our baseline criteria include two years of good rental history without evictions, a credit score of 650 or higher, and an income three times the monthly rent—standards upheld by private residential property management companies. Additionally, we want to transparently address that a criminal background is viewed with a sense of caution. While we understand that everyone's circumstances are unique, we want to be honest that certain criminal histories may be frowned upon.

What makes us unique is our commitment to looking beyond the surface. We assess every aspect of a potential renter's situation, seeking to understand individual circumstances and make choices that are in the best interest of both the tenant and our investors. Rest assured, all personal information is handled with the utmost care, and we treat everyone with the respect they deserve throughout the application process.

At JC Florida Realty, our commitment to efficiency and transparency begins with our pre-screen application process. Before anything else, we prioritize pre-screening to ensure a swift and thorough evaluation. Here's how it works:

1. **Individual Applications:** Each application/leaseholder, defined as anyone over the age of 18 and not in school, is required to complete a simple online application. This initial step sets the foundation for a comprehensive understanding of all potential occupants.

2. **Required Documentation:** To expedite the process, we request key documents such as a driver's license and proof of income. Proof of income can be provided through the most recent pay stub, including a company name, your name, and year-to-date income. For 1099 employees, we accept the most recent tax return and the last two months' bank statements.

3. **Emphasis on Pre-Screening:** Importantly, we prioritize pre-screening by thoroughly evaluating all applications before accepting any fees. This unique approach distinguishes us, as our primary goal is not to profit from application fees but to ensure a meticulous assessment of your circumstances and the property's suitability.

4. **Transparent Communication:** Once the pre-screening is complete, we communicate with you about the next steps. We provide clear guidance on what to expect before running the criminal and credit check, along with details about the exact move-in date and security deposit requirements.

At JC Florida Realty, our pre-screen application process is designed to be efficient, focused on your needs, and dedicated to finding the best match between tenants and properties.
