RENTAL HISTORY – Applicants must provide name, phone number, address where lived, and dates of tenancy for current and previous landlords for a minimum of two years. An applicant may not be approved if there are any previous derogatory rental references. Previous homeownership will be verified on the credit report and/or county tax records.
CREDIT HISTORY – Your credit history will be considered during the approval process. Please be upfront and honest when considering an application. Tenants MAY be approved that have had Bankruptcy, Medical collections, and some other derogatory types of credit depending on the individual situation. This may result in a higher deposit requirement.

MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY – Varies by property.
PETS – Pets may be allowed with approval of pet, pet deposit and pet fee and/or monthly pet rent agreement. If the property allows pets, there is an additional deposit of $300.00 for dogs and $500 for cats. In addition, there is a monthly pet rent of $30/dogs and $50/cats.
SERVICE ANIMALS - Must be disclosed during the application process and our standard forms completed by the applicant, along with the Doctor signed form filled out and stating the animal/breed being prescribed. All documents should be provided right after the application is submitted. Lighthouse verifies with the Doctor that they actually signed the form. If the Doctor is not willing to verify they signed it, the service animal can’t be approved until they do. Missing verification or documentation more than 3 days will cause the applicant to be taken out of the first position for the rental.
SECURITY DEPOSIT – The total security deposit varies per property and is depending upon your credit history. Security deposits may be increased depending upon how your credit, employment and reference history checks out. The final security deposit amount is fully refundable based upon returning the premises in the same or better condition as when you moved in.

I highly recommend lighthouse Real estate. I am very impressed with Sheila and her team. I have bought two houses with them and they rent 3 properties for me. I have nothing but good things to say about them. Also I rented a property through lighthouse real estate. Sheila protects both owners and tenants and fight fiercely for their rights and obligations.

Sheila is amazing. She has helped me buy, sell and even rent my property for over 15 years. Great communication, amazing work ethic and awesome person to work with. Even with the time difference, she is always there when I need her.

I have been a real estate owner/investor for 50+ years. My business has included buying and selling properties, all aspects of rental property management, remodeling and maintenance of my multiple properties owned in several different states. About 4 years ago, for my rental properties in the Salt Lake Valley, I decided to offload tenant searches, leasing and all associated paperwork to Sheila at Lighthouse Real Estate Services. Sheila had been recommended to me by a contractor doing work on one of my rental properties. Since that time, Sheila and her staff at Lighthouse RE, have handled all my tenant searches, background checks, leasing and increasingly, more of the maintenance requirements through their stable of qualified and tested specialty contractors. Sheila has also acted as my agent for the listing and sales of one of my properties. Throughout this relationship, Sheila has been nothing but professional, honest and trustworthy, not just with me but the tenants she has placed in my properties. To date, the tenants she has placed in my rentals could not have been better. Sheila’s business ethic has aligned perfectly with my own philosophy, which is, treat people the way you wish and expect to be treated, that is; with respect, dignity and fairness.
As I have recently moved into the retirement phase of my life, I have chosen to turn over the entire property management responsibilities of my rental properties to Sheila and Lighthouse RE. I didn’t even consider another real estate/property management firm. Using Sheila and Lighthouse was just a no brainer. I highly recommend her and Lighthouse RE to both owners and prospective tenants.

Lighthouse Real Estate manages a property that I am a resident of and I have had great experiences so far! I have found the team to be knowledgeable, patient and truly interested in providing great customer service!
About 6 months into our first lease, we had a major plumbing issue which caused a significant remodel to a couple of areas within the home. The project was handled efficiently and with minimal intrusion. We were confident in signing our second lease with Lighthouse Real Estate this year and it has been a success!
I highly recommend working with this team if you are a prospective renter or property owner!
