Residential Requirements

Before you begin your search, we think the following information on our policies and procedures will be helpful:

• If there is more than one tenant, each roommate must qualify for the unit individually, meaning each tenant must earn three (3) times the amount of rent per month. There is a limit of two people per bedroom.

• We collect a non-refundable $50.00 application fee per adult (any one 18 years and older) who will be living in a rental unit or home.

• Our screening procedure includes employment, verifiable income, credit check, criminal background, sex offender registry, and landlord references.

• It may require up to two (2) business days to process your application. The approval/finance committee makes the final decision concerning applicant acceptance.

• Applicant must be employed no less than one year

We will automatically disqualify any applicant who:

• Owes money to a previous or current landlord for any reason.

• Owes money to a utility company.

• Is in the process of declaring bankruptcy.

• Has declared bankruptcy in the past three (3) years and has incurred more debt.

• Receives a poor reference from a previous landlord.

• Has ever been convicted of a felony, arson, or a sex offense.



• Has ever had an eviction.

If an applicant has poor credit, but good landlord reference, the approval committee may require:

• A larger security deposit, usually 1.5-2 times the stated deposit

• A Tennessee property owner to co-sign the lease

Once an application is approved, we will contact you within three (3) days to set up an appointment for you to sign the lease. The security deposit and first month’s rent is due in full at the time of the lease signing. You may pick up the keys at this appointment, or up to seven days later, without incurring additional fees or loss of security money. Kismet will pro-rate the rent from the date the lease is signed.

Rent is due on the first of each month. Rent is late at midnight on the 5th business day of each month, no exceptions. A 10% late fee incurs at 12:01 am on the 6th business day of the month.

• A Tennessee property owner to co-sign the lease
• Kismet only accepts co-signers for students or graduates that have not established credit
• Co-signer must be a parent of the applicant
