Fair housing

Blue Crown follows federal, Texas, and local fair housing laws and principles of equal opportunity. Its published policy says applicants are considered without discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, familial status, ancestry, sexual orientation, gender identity, or spousal affiliation.

Application process

• Apply through the online application linked from the home you want. Outside applications are not accepted.
• Complete every part of the application and pay the application fee before it can be considered. Every household member age 18 or older must submit a complete application.
• Blue Crown processes completed applications on weekdays, excluding holidays, and sends completed applications for the same property to the owner for a final decision.
• Blue Crown does not pre-screen applicants. Review these criteria before you apply.

Screening usually takes up to three or four business days after all materials are complete. Multiple applicants, missing documents, or difficulty contacting references can extend that time. Let prior landlords know they may receive a rental-history request.

Funds and move-in payments

Before a property is taken off the market, an approved applicant must pay the required funds: a security deposit determined by the applicants’ average credit score, any property-specific animal deposit or fees, and a $195 lease administration and tenant account setup fee. The first full month of rent may be paid at the same time, but Blue Crown’s published policy says it is not required at this stage. The home remains on the market until the lease is signed and required funds are received.

Blue Crown’s published payment methods are ACH through the tenant portal or RentMoney cash payment at participating retailers. It does not accept credit cards or ordinary paper payments. ACH should be used only when the move-in date is at least seven days away; a payment made closer to move-in can delay occupancy until it clears.

In rare cases, management may approve a cashier’s check or money order for a move-in within seven days. That exception requires a $50 processing fee. The payment must be payable to Blue Crown Properties, include the property address, and be placed in an envelope marked Blue Crown Properties. The published delivery address is the secure UPS Store drop box at 13901 Midway Road, #102-127, Dallas, TX 75244. Confirm an exception with the team before sending payment; personal and business checks are not accepted.

Identity, occupancy, and lease timing

• Each applicant needs a current government-issued photo ID. Expired identification is not accepted. The online application may request a selfie to compare with the ID.
• Each applicant must provide a valid Social Security number or tax ID number for credit-report matching.
• Blue Crown properties are non-smoking, including indoor areas, garages, and outdoor areas.
• Lease starts are scheduled on weekdays, preferably Monday through Thursday, and not on national holidays. For a vacant home, the published maximum is 30 days after approval; an owner may require an earlier start.
• Leases are typically 12–24 months. A term under 12 months is rare, and, absent property-specific instructions, Blue Crown does not schedule lease expirations from September through February.
• Every applicant is strongly encouraged to tour the home. Anyone applying without a personal viewing must sign a Sight Unseen Waiver.
• Adults 18 or older who are financially responsible are tenants and must apply. Other authorized residents are occupants; residents under 18 must be disclosed with their date of birth.

Pets and property rules

Pet acceptance and deposits vary by property and owner. Check the individual listing before applying. For each pet, the published application asks for one full-body photo and one photo showing the applicant with the animal.

• Dogs must be at least 24 months old; puppies are not accepted.
• Cats must be at least 12 months old, and male cats must be neutered.
• Pets must be licensed and current on vaccinations. The published policy does not permit ferrets, reptiles, or rodents.
• Most properties have a two-pet maximum. Homeowner association rules may add limits on number, type, or weight.

For an assistance-animal accommodation, contact Blue Crown about the applicable process.

Income and supporting documents

The published standard is verifiable monthly net household income of at least 2.5 times the monthly rent. Income from all applicants is combined. Applicants pay any employer verification charges. Blue Crown says its application uses Verifast to review linked bank activity; if an account cannot be connected, manual verification may delay screening.

Credit and co-signers

Blue Crown’s published policy calls for favorable credit and no open bankruptcies. It obtains a TransUnion FICO Score 9 for each applicant, averages applicants’ scores, and uses that average to determine the security deposit. FICO Score 9 is different from a VantageScore.

The published schedule does not state a tier for scores of 560–599. Ask Blue Crown to confirm the applicable deposit before applying or paying funds.

Criminal screening

Blue Crown’s published criteria call for a criminal background check for every tenant and occupant age 18 or older. They state that a felony conviction within the past seven years, a sex-offender registration requirement, or a conviction for illegal manufacture or distribution of a controlled substance can result in denial. The screening also considers convictions that may raise safety concerns for the property or surrounding residents. Contact Blue Crown with questions about how its criteria apply to your circumstances.
