Are you looking to rent a home from Brickleys?
Property renters FAQ
Below is a list of questions we typically get from those interested in leasing through us.
On the menu above, select the city / area you are looking in. This page will have our list of current available rentals, just scroll down. When you see a property you are interested in, on the right side of where you see the picture of the property & description, there is a "Schedule Viewing" button and a "Submit an Application" button on the right hand side of the listing. Viewings are available 7 days a week between 8am and 8pm.
You can also call these 24/7 showing lines (not the main office line) to schedule a viewing: Albuquerque showing line: 505-207-0671 · Colorado Springs showing line: 719-602-7097 · East Valley (Gilbert/Chandler) showing line: 480-630-9962 · West Valley (Goodyear) showing line: 575-570-5347. For general office questions, use the main office numbers on each city page.
Albuquerque, Colorado Springs, and West Valley Phoenix (Goodyear): There is no Brickleys application fee. A portable screening report is required via our 3rd-party provider; they set the price.
East Valley Phoenix (Gilbert/Chandler): Brickleys charges a $50 application fee per adult. Screening is done by this office. Portable screening reports are not accepted.
Every adult (18+) living in the home must submit their own application. This gives us permission to run the required screening.
In select locations, a lease preparation fee is required before we draft your lease agreement. This fee is not charged in New Mexico. The amount varies by office and is separate from (and in addition to) your security deposit.
Just click the "Submit an Application" button on any of our property listings (It is right under the "Schedule Viewing" button). You then fill out the online application and submit it to us. There is a payment screen during the application process that you may skip if you'd rather speak with us before paying the application fee.
Once we receive your application, we will email you within 48 hours to begin the process. You must be 21 years or older or have a qualified co-signer to apply. The background screening will check for felonies and misdemeanors on your record. The credit check will look for judgments or restitution from evictions or damages to previous rental properties. It will also look for some signs of good credit (accounts paid on time, seasoned accounts, etc.).
We require 3 months worth of your most recent bank statements in order to proceed with your application. We typically require at least 18 months of good rental history or mortgage payment history. Seasoned short sales, bankruptcies and foreclosures (by themselves) do not automatically disqualify you! We attempt to look at the whole picture of your situation, not just one incident on your credit report.
Call or email us if you have any questions about the process.
Security deposits are typically one months rent, however, that can vary depending on your risk profile and whether you have pets.
With most of our properties, pets are accepted on a case-by-case basis. We review each application with our owners, so you will need to include your pet information on a property application before we can give you an answer. Simply complete an application and we will present your case.
If the owner says "yes", they will tell us the amount of pet fees they'd like us to collect. The pet acceptance will be conditional pending the outcome of your background screening.
We definitely understand that in some situations, it is not possible for you to physically view the home. However, it is our policy that we will not lease the home to you sight unseen. If you absolutely can not see it yourself, you need to have someone you trust view the home on your behalf.
Our properties can typically be held for a maximum of 30 days with a signed lease agreement, security deposit, and owner approval. Our leases also typically require a minimum 1 year term.
Move-in date as well as length of the lease will require a complete application for approval.
Our website will always direct you to the most up-to-date property information. Sadly, if you see a classified ad with conflicting information, you may be looking at a scam.
Housing scams are very popular with criminals worldwide. Always look for the phone number and, if it is a local phone number, call to verify the listing. Find out who is claiming to manage the property and do some extra research. Look for websites, phonebook ads, and a physical office location to verify legitimacy.
Remember, always be very careful on public listing sites (such as Craigslist). NEVER wire money to someone out-of-town or out of the country. When in doubt, call your local Brickleys directly.
