OUR RENTAL
PROCESS

Applying for your DCCR home is fast and easy

June 2026 – May 2027 Lease Term

During the month of October we will determine which properties will be available to lease for next year depending on whether or not current tenants decide to extend their leases for another year. As we learn which properties are available they will be posted to our website. On Monday, November 1 we will begin marketing and showing all of our available properties for the June 2022 - May 2023 lease term. 

 

How to Apply for One of Our Properties:

In order to view an available property an Application must be submitted online or in our office along with a valid form of identification.
If you are in a group your Applications must be submitted together and a group leader needs to be designated to represent the group.
Our office will schedule an appointment to view the property. Please do not disturb our current tenants.


If you decide to apply for a property, everyone in your group will need to submit a complete online Application* through our website and must attach the following documents:

 

 

Please name your attached documents appropriately.


Submission of all required documents and payment of the fee constitutes a complete Application.


* Search our properties on our website and navigate to the property you want to apply for and tap/click Apply Now to begin the Application. Be prepared to attach your ID, the Guarantee of Lease Agreement, and your Guarantor's ID and pay the Application fee with a card. 


**If you do not meet our Rental Qualifications  a guarantor is required. If you’re applying with a group each individual who doesn’t qualify will need their own guarantor. The Guarantee of Lease Agreement form, completed by your Guarantor, and a photo ID of your Guarantor must be attached to the Application. 

If approved the original Guarantee of Lease Agreement form must also be hand delivered to our office or mailed to 330 W 5th St, Chico, CA 95928 or be e-signed prior to signing a lease. The form is found on the bottom of this page under Forms & Info. 


Processing and Approval of Applications:


We will only process complete Applications. Submission of all required documents and payment of the fee constitutes a complete Application.  If you’re applying with a group, your group’s Applications will not be processed until a complete Application is received from every member of the group. Once we have processed your Application(s), we will notify you whether you've been approved or disapproved.

If multiple parties are interested in a particular property, Applications will be processed in the order received and the first qualified applicant or group of applicants will be given the first opportunity to secure the property.


Securing the Rental Property and Signing of the Lease:



In order to secure the property you must make an appointment to sign the lease at our office and pay the security deposit at the time of the signing. The security deposit must be paid in one payment and in one form of payment; even if you are in a group we will only accept one check, one electronic check through our online payment system, one cashier’s check, or all cash. You have 3 days after being notified by our office that you’ve been approved to sign the lease and pay the security deposit. After 3 days has expired the property will be available to the next qualified applicants.
