Acc-Sell Management 1020 Hovey SW Grand Rapids MI 49504 phone 616-458-8200
We are an equal opportunity housing provider.
This unit is a non-smoking unit. Nothing may be smoked in or grown at this unit except for common houseplants that are not smoked.
All lessees/tenants at this property must abide by the written agreements and any rules as published, provided or posted.
To ensure you are a ready, willing and able applicant:
- We will process incoming applications as follows:
- All complete applications received with an attached government issued photo ID, Application fee payment, and all co-tenant
applications will be processed on a parallel basis where all incoming applications are processed upon receipt and as applications become
qualified, each applicant will be notified. The remaining applicants will be notified and asked if they are interested in anything else. If
they are interested in a different rental, we will continue to process the application to see if it qualifies for a different unit, only after we
have received written confirmation of the change of address, which may be done by email to apps@gr4rent.com. No refunds are given
once initial application has been processed. If your original property is still available, but you want to change the address applied for,
there is a $10 fee and that request must be in writing.
- Application fees - Must be submitted by cash (office has no change), money order, cashier's check or card through our website. A
check from an approved help agency may be acceptable. If the application is approved, the applicant must bring the Earnest Payment to
Acc-Sell to secure the property for themselves. The Earnest Payment will become the security deposit upon move in. No property will
be held more than 21 days off the market unless specified in writing on the earnest payment form, as in the case of a property currently
being occupied by a resident that is moving out later.
- Refunds will be given only if the rental application has NOT been processed or screened. We begin processing applications within
24 business hours; however, some items may take longer to secure approval of the applicant. We aim for completion of processing
within 5 business days.
- Each person over 18 years of age must complete a separate application. Children under the age of 18 must be listed on the application
only, no social security number required for children. Those over the age of 18 that have a legal guardian living with them are not
required to apply. Current guardianship papers required in that situation.
- Criminal history. No occupants can have a conviction relating to “delivery, manufacturing or intent to deliver a controlled substance,
or maintaining a drug house” or similar. No occupants can have a habitual criminal history of convictions in the past 7 years. The nature
and severity of a conviction will be taken into consideration. Sexual offenders are responsible to verify with police or parole they can
live in the unit they apply for before applying.
- Income verification. Preferred income requirement is 3 (three) times rent in take home. Minimum is 2 (two) times rent in take home
with no delinquencies. Valid sources of income are consistent income derived from wages, social security, supplemental security
income, all forms of Federal, State, or local assistance payments or subsidies, Section 8 assistance, child support, alimony and public
assistance which can be verified and substantiated. Stipulations mandated by the various sources of income may disqualify it from
eligibility.
- Good rental history for the most recent two years. If you do not have any successful rental history, a cosigner may be required to
guarantee the financial obligations of the lease. Housing references must be verifiable; family members and friends are not considered
acceptable references. Unsuccessful rental history includes, but is not limited to: evictions, disturbances or violent behavior,
unauthorized pets, pattern of late payments, damage to the residence, or money owed to past landlord.
- Any attempt to submit false information will result in automatic denial without exception.
- Good credit history. Bankruptcies must be dismissed and have 1 year of good credit history. All utility accounts must be current for
gas, electric and water. If you have a negative credit report, and we have no other objections, we may accept a co-signer or higher deposit
to guarantee the financial obligations of the lease.
- Cosigners must prove net monthly income of 3 (three) times the monthly rent. Instate cosigners must have a minimum 650 Credit
Score, out-of-state cosigners must have a minimum Credit Score of 700. The cosigner must be over the age of 18 and not a cohabitant.
The cosigner must complete a separate application, which must be notarized. If married, both spouses must sign the cosigner app,
provide proof of income and pay the application fee of $40.

per rent per month per pet.
