Rentals
How to apply
Applications are online through our resident portal. Every adult (18 or older) who will live in the home fills out their own rental application — that includes spouses and partners.
Application fee: $30 per adult applicant, paid at the end of the application by credit card or bank transfer (EFT).
Step by step
- Open the online application and create your account with your own email address.
- Choose the property you are applying for.
- Complete every section and upload your photo ID and pay stubs.
- On the Co-signer contact information step, leave it blank unless someone who will NOT live in the home is guaranteeing your rent.
- Review your application and pay the $30 fee to submit.
- Applying with a spouse, partner or roommate? Each adult submits a separate application, using their own email, for the same property. Let us know whose applications go together.
What to have ready
Gather these before you start so you can finish in one sitting.
- Photo ID: a clear picture or scan of your current driver’s license or state ID
- Pay stubs: your last 3 months of pay stubs (3 uploads)
- Personal details: Social Security number, date of birth, current address, email and cell phone
- Emergency contact: name, relationship, email and phone
- Rental history: address, dates, monthly rent, reason for leaving, and your landlord’s name and phone
- Employment: employer name and phone, position, dates employed, monthly gross pay, and your supervisor’s name and title
- References: name, relationship and phone for each
- Vehicles and pets: details for any you will have at the home
- Payment: a credit/debit card or bank account for the $30 fee
Co-applicant or co-signer?
If you will live in the home, you are a co-applicant, not a co-signer.
| Co-applicant | Co-signer | |
|---|---|---|
| Lives in the home | Yes | No |
| Example | Spouse, partner, adult roommate | Parent guaranteeing a student’s rent |
| Which application | Regular rental application | Co-signer application (we send the link) |
| On the lease as | Tenant | Guarantor |
| Fee | $30 | $30 |
After you apply
We review applications once every adult in your household has submitted. We will contact you by email with a decision or if we need anything else.
We screen every application the same way — income against the rent, credit, rental history, criminal background and eviction history — using Buildium’s tenant screening. Meeting the criteria doesn’t guarantee approval, but you’ll know exactly what we look at before you apply. Here’s how we qualify applicants →

Renting from Curtis and Sons
Most of what we manage is houses in Nevada — two- and three-bedroom homes on city lots, a few duplexes, some apartments. We’ve been in business here since 1948, and we manage rentals the same way we sell houses: from the office on the square, with people you can walk in and talk to.
That matters more than it sounds. When something breaks, you call the office, not an 800 number. Our full-time maintenance staff handles the everyday things — a slow drain, a broken window, a furnace that won’t light. For licensed plumbing and electrical work we use local contractors we’ve worked with for years.
Rent is paid by automatic bank draft, monthly or every two weeks, whichever fits your paycheck. Your online resident account is where you pay, check your balance and put in a maintenance request.
Not every home we manage is listed online, and the ones that are tend to go fast. If you don’t see what you need above, call the office at 417-667-7868 — we usually know what’s coming open before it’s posted.
