Tenants are not always aware of how to impress a landlord or property manager while filling out their rental application forms. In reality, searching for an apartment is like looking for a job. The candidates do thorough research, prepare for an interview, and try to present themselves in the best light. Trying to land the best rental is no different. It is key to be truthful and thorough on your application, no matter what your history may be.
Here are the typical contents of a rental application:
your current job position, your salary
rental history
current employer
your former landlord
pets (if any)
reasons to leave the current property
move-in date
credit report
background report
renters’ insurance (if any)
and roommates (if any)
How can you be a standout tenant? When a rental application asks for references, proof of income and recent employment information or pet information, do not leave it blank or fail to provide the proper proof! Leaving sections of your application empty tends to give landlords or property managers the impression that you may be trying to hide something, or you simply did not take the proper time to complete the required questions. Determined tenants take the time to provide accurate information, follow up with their application and are friendly and compliant throughout the process. Thinking about applying for a new residence? Just remember to always be honest, prompt, and polite to your prospective new landlord or property manager and you will be sure to stand out!

I am very interested in the property at 1405 n. Broad St . Right now I’m living in the Parkview Apts in Hooper for the last 2 1/2 yrs and I’m so ready to move back to Fremont. No I don’t like moving and the driving back n forth for family get togethers and shopping Id rather be back there. I am considered Low Income and I did read that you do rent out for HUD . I have never been late on my rent and no problems with keeping a place clean! The rental at 1405 N Broad is a place that l do love looking at the pictures online and once I’m settled in a place I’m not planning on moving again. I would like to make an appt with you on so I can look at it!. Thank You, Sharon
Glad to hear from you, Sharon. You’ll need to contact our property management department to schedule a showing, but first you’ll need to complete an application for each person 19 and older that will be potentially residing in the property.
You can go to https://www.dparentals.com and fill out an application online. If you do this method you will have to pay the $27 app fee at that time.
You could pick up an application at our office located at 620 N Park St. in Fremont or you can go to https://www.donpeterson.com/files/2022/07/DPA-Rental-Application-1-e471252abb547d17b27a5816a4d67c09a7af9946.pdf to print out an English version or https://www.donpeterson.com/files/2023/04/DPA-Rental-Application-Spanish-website-aede8f16c0f10939bc02a4a88c836f721f7cf4c0.pdf to print out a version in Spanish. Then you can drop off your completed application at our office, text it to 402-721-8171, or email them to rentals@donpeterson.com.
To speed up the process, I recommend for you to also send a picture of your most recent pay stubs, along with a picture of your drivers license. Once we receive this information, we will run all the information and call you to let you know if you have been approved.
The applications you submit are good for all of our available properties, so you only need to apply once.
