What do I need to apply for an AMH home?

Have a valid government-issued ID for each adult applicant, income information, and payment for any application fee. Income can be verified through a secure platform that directly connects to your banking or payroll provider. Application fees, where charged, are non-refundable. Additional documents may be requested.

Can I apply for a home that isn’t available yet?

You can apply for a home listed as Coming Soon. Availability dates are estimates and may change. You can explore Coming Soon homes with a 3D tour.

What if the home I toured is no longer available?

Availability can change. You can browse other available homes or contact AMH for help with your next step.

What if I don’t want to link my bank account to verify income?

You can also verify income by signing in to your payroll provider or by uploading documents such as pay stubs. The Rental Criteria lists accepted documents.

Will applying affect my credit score?

No. AMH’s application uses a soft credit check, which does not affect your credit score.

Can I apply for more than one home, or transfer my application?

You can apply for one home at a time. Applications can generally be transferred to another AMH home within 30 days of paying the application fee, at no additional cost. Some restrictions apply, contact AMH for details.
