Redbird Rental Qualifications

At Redbird, we believe in making the leasing process simple, fair, and transparent. Every application is reviewed under the same set of standards:

Income

  • Gross monthly income must equal 2.5–3× the monthly rent.
  • Proof of income required (pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements).

Credit

  • A minimum credit score of 600 (or Redbird’s set threshold) is required.
  • No open bankruptcies, charge-offs, or outstanding landlord collections.
  • Recent delinquencies, judgments, or unpaid balances may result in denial.
  • Credit history is evaluated holistically — positive patterns may offset isolated issues.

  • No evictions within the past 7 years.
  • No outstanding balances with prior landlords.
