What is Required to Apply:

• Each member of the household over age 18 must submit a completed application.
• Identification sufficient to verify the applicant’s identity, name, and date of birth, pursuant to The Norm’s Rental Criteria for Residency, must be provided.
• $60 Screening Fee for each adult applicant must be paid. The Norm accepts Screening Fees only in cash, certified check or money order.
• Copies of the applicant’s two most recent pay stubs or other acceptable proof of income must be provided.
• No sight-unseen rentals. At least one adult applicant must view the interior of the unit in person.

The Application Process:

• Arrange an appointment to view the available unit by contacting Management at management@thenormpdx.com. Appointments are scheduled between 10 am and 3 pm. Please bring your Identification and Screening Fee to your scheduled appointment. You will be given an emailed receipt for your payment of the Screening Fee at this time.
• Complete the application online. Each adult applicant must submit their own application. Per anti-discrimination laws, married couples must be screened separately.
• Provide the applicant’s proof of income to The Norm. This can either be uploaded as an attachment when submitting an application, or PDFs can be emailed to Management.
• Placement in an application queue is ordered by the timing of The Norm’s receipt of valid applications. An application is “valid” and receives a place in the queue when the five requirements to apply have been met and all applications from a household are capable of being sent forward to our screening company simultaneously.
• Applications are first come, first served. The Norm will accept and process only one application (or one group of applications from co-applicants) at a time for a particular rental unit. As soon as an application is sent forward to our screening company, the Screening Fee becomes NON-REFUNDABLE. It typically takes two to four business days to complete the screening process.
• Within 48 hours of application approval, applicants will be required to either: (a) sign a rental agreement package, pay the required move-in costs, and take possession of the unit; or (b) sign an execution agreement for a previously agreed-upon move-in date and pay the required execution deposit. Execution deposits will be applied toward the total move-in costs but shall be forfeited to the Owner as liquidated damages if the applicant fails to sign a rental agreement package and pay the full move-in balance on the Rental Agreement start date.
