PIERPROPERTIESJefferson County, New York
RENTAL PRESCREENERSTEP 1 OF 5

Let’s start with you.

Each adult applicant should complete their own prescreener. Fields marked * are required.

You can upload photo ID below for identity verification, or arrange an in-person check. Do not upload a Social Security card.

Your rental history.

Add up to three recent addresses or the past five years. If you have no rental history, you can leave this section blank.

Income & supporting documents.

Employment is not required. We accept all lawful income sources, including benefits, retirement, self-employment and housing assistance.

Employment history

Current and up to two previous employers, if applicable.

Other income sources

Include income or housing assistance you want us to consider.

Proof of income

Pay stubs, benefit letters or other supporting proof. Documents can also be provided later.

Before uploading, cover Social Security numbers, bank account numbers and unrelated medical details. Leave your name, income amounts and relevant dates visible.

    Files are checked for security before submission is accepted.

    Photo ID for identity verification

    Driver’s license, state non-driver ID or passport. If you cannot upload one, you can request an in-person check or alternative verification. This will not automatically reject your inquiry.

    Upload only the front or identification page. Cover the ID/document number, barcode or machine-readable lines and unrelated personal details. Leave your name, photo and expiration date visible. Do not upload a Social Security card. Only the owner account can access ID copies.

      An uploaded image alone does not prove identity. We may ask to compare it with you in person.

      A few more details.

      Vehicles

      Emergency contact (optional at this stage)

      Other Information

      The history questions below are optional. You may skip them or choose “Prefer not to answer.” No automatic screening decisions are made.

      Past or pending landlord-tenant court involvement is not a basis for refusing to rent. You do not need to disclose housing-court proceedings.

      Do not disclose sealed or expunged records, youthful offender adjudications, arrests resolved in your favor, or matters adjourned in contemplation of dismissal. A disclosed conviction does not automatically disqualify you.

      Assistance animals are not pets. You may request an accommodation separately; do not upload medical records. Smoking answers concern the property’s smoke-free rules.

      Ready for the next step.

      How we use your information

      We use this prescreener, income documents and photo ID to assess your rental inquiry and contact you about housing. Access is limited to authorized staff and contracted hosting/security providers. We do not sell application information. No credit or background report is ordered through this form.

      ID copies are deleted after manual identity verification, or after 30 days from upload if not yet verified. A documented legal hold may delay deletion. Income uploads are scheduled for deletion after 90 days and prescreening records after 3 years, unless a documented legal hold applies. Backups expire separately, within 30 days under the operating policy. Ask your property contact about corrections, withdrawal, alternative ways to apply, or an accommodation.
