If I apply for a house and am not approved, do I need to fill out another application for a different property?

• One of the advantages of applying with C&C is your application is valid for 3 months towards any of our properties. This saves you time and money during your search for a new home. 

When is the best time of year to find housing?

The summer months we experience a much higher volume of applications for rentals. The peninsula is a very competitive market.

Therefore, it is ideal to wait until the slower season in the Fall and Winter to increase your chances of securing your new home.

How To Maximize Your Application Chances:

1. Be thorough and include ALL information you can provide as accurately and in-depth as possible.
2. If applying with another co-applicant, please include their separate email address in the box provided on your application. Once you have completed your application, the co-applicant will be sent a link to complete an application, as well, via their email address. This will be used to link your applications together. 

If you happen to complete two separate applications without the email link, this may delay your application process. Applications are not processed until fully completed.
