  • In the event multiple applications are received within 2 days for the same property, the applicant with the superior qualifications (higher credit score, higher income, etc.) will be approved.   
  • Upon approval, WPPM will require that applicant sign the lease and pay the entire security deposit, to secure rental.  Property will stay on the market until lease has been signed by all parties and the security deposit has been paid in full.
  • All utility and garbage accounts, where applicable, must be under the tenant’s name as of the date of possession of the property.

  • Most properties do not allow pets and are always Non-smoking.  Please inquire prior to submitting your application. IF the property allows for pets, Pet Rent and additional Security Deposit will be required.  If you have a Pet or Service Animal there is an additional per pet application which is administered by a third party pet screening tool. Submit your Pet/Service Animal Application at: https://app.petscreening.com/referral/JY7JdzzexlHu
  • If the applicant will be receiving a government rent subsidy to assist the payment of rent, such as a Section 8 voucher, applicant may choose to provide lawful, verifiable, alternative evidence of reasonable ability to pay rather than have the housing provider rely on a credit report. The applicant shall be given a reasonable time to provide alternative documentation.
  • WPPM prides itself in providing equal housing opportunity for all applicants, thus we do not modify our guidelines for any applicant.

I have been a tenant for about 2 years with Windsor Pacific Property Management and had an amazing experience. They are very professional and actually do care about their tenants. Jackelyne Ferreira has always been there for us. If we ever needed something to be fixed at the house she coordinated it efficiently and in timely manner. Renting a place is always challenging but she and the WPPM team made it an easy experience for us. I highly recommend this company as they know what they are doing.
