Requirements & applications
Every occupant 18 and older completes a short application. There is no application fee. We pre-qualify requests first, then applicants who meet the requirements complete a background and credit screening through TransUnion SmartMove, paid directly to TransUnion.
Requirements, all applicants 18+
- Government-issued photo ID
- Completed rental application for each adult occupant (18+)
- TransUnion ResidentScore of 660+ for standard approval; scores of 600-659 may be approved with consistently applied compensating factors (such as a larger deposit or prepaid rent)
- National criminal background check (convictions are reviewed individually for nature, severity, and recency; an arrest alone is not a basis for denial)
- Eviction history check (no prior evictions)
- Income verification: gross monthly income of 3× rent ($10,500/mo), via 2 most recent pay stubs, offer letter, or 3 months of bank statements
- Insurance placements and corporate relocations: an assignment letter from the carrier or an employer letter confirming placement and duration is accepted in lieu of standard income docs
- Landlord reference from a current or most recent landlord
- Applicants without a U.S. Social Security number: a consistently applied alternative process is available (government-issued passport or ID, recent bank statements, and employer or placement documentation)
- Insurance: self-paid guests carry renters insurance ($100,000 personal liability minimum, CSP South LLC listed as interested party, proof before move-in). Insurance-displacement guests may instead provide proof of the active homeowners or renters policy on their primary residence. Employer-paid guests may provide documented employer or placement coverage.
- No application fee (background and credit screening is paid by the applicant directly to TransUnion SmartMove)
- All occupants 18+ must be named on the lease; no subletting or Airbnb re-listing
Approval standard
Applications are processed in the order received. The unit is offered to the first applicant whose completed application meets the published screening requirements. CSP South applies the same written criteria to every applicant and reserves all rights permitted by law to approve or decline an application on that basis.
Nondiscrimination
CSP South does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or familial status, or any other basis prohibited by federal or South Carolina law.
Availability
Availability shown on this site is for reference only and is subject to change without advance notice.
No unit is held or reserved for any applicant. The unit remains open and available to all applicants until a lease has been signed and the first month's payment has been received. Submitting an inquiry or an application does not reserve the unit or the dates, and creates no guarantee, warranty, or implication of availability.
How screening works
- 1. Check availability & get a quote. On the availability page, select your dates on the calendar to see a live quote. Add your party size and who is paying, and you will see the estimate instantly, then send your inquiry.
- 2. Apply. Each adult submits a short application, contact details and how income is verified. We never collect SSNs or credit-card data on this site.
- 3. Screening. Applicants who meet the requirements receive a secure link to complete a background and credit check through TransUnion SmartMove. The screening fee is paid directly to TransUnion by the applicant. CSP South receives none of it. The report is returned to us to inform the leasing decision. Insurance-placed and corporate/employer-paid guests can verify income with an assignment contract or employer letter instead of standard income docs.
The SmartMove link is issued only to applicants who meet the requirements. This website never asks for a Social Security number, credit-card number, or bank login.
