Frequently Asked Questions:
WHAT'S REQUIRED TO APPLY TO RENT?
- Each adult (18yrs and older) applicant must apply and each must pay a $40 application fee. Valid ID required.
- You will need to submit proof of income (pay stubs or tax returns) showing all adults combined monthly income totals at least 2.5 - 3x's monthly rent.

- If you have pets, a digital photo of you with your pet(s) must be submitted. You may send photos to info@b-dhomes.com or upload them during your application.
WHAT WOULD REQUIRE ADDITIONAL REVIEW OR POTENTIALLY LEAD TO DENIAL?
If we find evictions, unpaid balances due to landlords, credit score beneath 550, insufficient income, unsatisfactory references, felonies and recent bankruptcies. Unqualified occupants and/or certain breeds of pets can also be a reason for the decline.
IF MY CREDIT ISN'T PERFECT, CAN I STILL BE APPROVED?
Applicants with good credit/income/references will be approved at the security deposit amount published in the listing. Those with less than perfect credit can be approved at up to a double security deposit. You are not required to pay the last month’s rent at move in.
WHAT IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS ON THE SAME PROPERTY?
B & D Homes Bakersfield evaluates every application in the following manner:
- ONLY COMPLETE Applications are processed in the order that they are received
- Applications without a specified property will be run and the application status, if successful, will include the maximum rent for which applicants qualify
- Once applications are FULLY processed, successful applicants are notified that they are eligible to rent. More than one applicant may be notified if there are multiple qualified applicants. A deposit equivalent to one month rent will hold the property for up to 30 days subject to B & D Homes Bakersfield Holding Deposit Agreement. All initial funds must be in the form of a money order, cashier’s check or credit card (convenience fee applies). Neither Cash nor Personal Checks are accepted for deposit.
IS THE APPLICATION FEE REFUNDABLE?
In order to evaluate the various applications, it is necessary for B & D Homes Bakersfield to expend time and cost in credit reports, criminal reports, and other administrative costs. Hence, our policy that the application fee is NON-refundable. If your application is approvable, but not the approved one for the property for which you are applying, you may consider applying for other available properties that we may have, without payment of an additional application fee.
