Portland Application Process

Requirement 1: All members of the household over 18 must apply. You may apply at any time. We do not pre-screen applicants. A Background Check will be pulled immediately and you will be charged a non-refundable screening fee upon applying. We process on a first come, first serve basis.

Requirement 2: At least 1 adult applicant must see the inside of the property or proxy.

Both requirements must be met to be considered a valid application. A valid application secures your place in line. If you apply, but do not attend your appointment, you will lose your place in line.

How Long Does It Take?

Generally 2-4 business days, if your landlord and employer are very responsive.

Action Required: Tell your employer and landlord to expect a call and that they need to reply ASAP.

Delays outside of Sleep Sound’s control and beyond 3 days may result in a denial (if employer or landlord do not respond) and does not warrant a refund of the application fee. Please help us process your application quickly.

Upon Approval; Critical Next Steps

Once approved, you will have two (2) business days from approval to sign an Execution Agreement and pay the deposit to secure the unit which will be applied to the security deposit.

Failure to do so will result in the withdrawal of your approval.

No property will be held for more than 14 calendar days from the date of approval unless the property is occupied and the availability date exceeds the 14 calendar day timeline.

Once the application is approved and the execution agreement is signed, any and all advance deposits will be forfeited if no rental agreement is executed.

Please note that if your lease start date falls before the 15th of the month, only the prorated rent amount for the remainder of that month will be due upon move in. If this date falls on or after the 15th of the month, the prorated rent amount for that month plus the full month's rent for the following month will be owed upon move in.

Occupancy Policy

  1. Occupancy is based on the number of bedrooms in a unit. (A bedroom is defined as a habitable room that is intended to be used primarily for sleeping purposes, contains at least 70 square feet and is configured so as to take the need for a fire exit into account).
  2. The general rule is two persons allowed per bedroom.
