Winvest Management follows consistent rental qualification practices designed to help property owners evaluate applicants while respecting applicable federal and Florida fair housing requirements.
Our goal is to provide a clear and consistent application process while treating prospective residents fairly and applying established criteria without discrimination.
Winvest Management is committed to conducting leasing and tenant-screening activities in a manner consistent with applicable fair housing requirements. Rental decisions should be based on legitimate, consistently applied qualification criteria rather than protected characteristics.
Florida law prohibits discrimination in the sale or rental of housing based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, familial status, or religion. We strictly adhere to the protections provided under the Florida Fair Housing Act (Florida Statutes Chapter 760, Part II).
Tenant screening is intended to provide property owners with relevant information for evaluating rental applications. Screening procedures should be applied consistently to similarly situated applicants. Our general process includes:
A fair screening process depends on applying established qualification standards consistently. Criteria may vary by property, owner requirements, property type, or applicable law, but criteria should not be changed from applicant to applicant based on protected characteristics.
Depending on the property and applicable screening requirements, rental applications may involve review of information relevant to an applicant's ability to meet the rental agreement requirements. This may include identity information, income or employment information, rental history, credit information, and other legally permissible screening information.
The specific screening criteria and documentation requirements may vary by property. This page does not establish a universal minimum income, credit score, rental-history requirement, or criminal-history standard for every Winvest-managed property.
Winvest Management recognizes that housing providers may have obligations to consider reasonable accommodation requests related to disabilities. Requests are evaluated according to applicable fair housing requirements.
Florida law contains specific protections concerning housing and disability-related needs for emotional support animals. Requests may require reliable supporting information when a disability-related need is not readily apparent, subject to applicable legal limitations.
Applicants and residents who need a reasonable accommodation related to a disability may contact Winvest Management to request assistance with the applicable process.
Tenant applications and screening information may contain sensitive personal and financial information. Such information should be handled through appropriate systems and only used for legitimate property management and screening purposes. We do not publish or improperly share applicant personal information, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, credit reports, bank account information, or background-check reports.
When an application is not approved or is subject to an adverse decision based on information obtained through a consumer report, applicable federal requirements (such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act) and Florida laws may require specific notices or disclosures to the applicant.
Tenant screening procedures depend on the property and applicable leasing process. Applicants should follow the requirements provided for the specific property.
Screening criteria may vary by property and owner requirements. The important principle is that applicable criteria should be established and applied consistently to similarly situated applicants.
Yes. Florida law prohibits discriminatory statements, notices, or advertisements concerning the sale or rental of housing.
