When using the online application, you are NOT auto-charged. All payments are manually
entered at our corporate office.
If you would like to be “pre-approved”, just choose that option from the form of payment
section on the application form.
- An application is not considered complete and ready to process until ALL documentation
and payment are provided. NOTE: If you do not supply all requested documentation,
another applicant may jump ahead of you. - Be sure to fill the application out completely and as honestly as possible. It’s better to give
us too much information, rather than have a surprise come up on your background check. - Unverifiable information will lead to your application not being approved
- If your application should fall short of these standards, it may still be accepted with prepayment of rent, co-signing by another responsible adult (application required),
or other methods that the property owner or manager agree upon. - Once your complete application is received by Rent Me Florida Customer Service, it will be
processed. This usually takes between 24 – 48 hours. Your RMF Rental Specialist or a member
of the Customer Service team will contact you with your approval and next steps.
