Application Criteria

We want all of our residents to feel safe, secure and happy in their rental. In order to foster a community that maintains that standard of living, all applicants are subject to a thorough background check, which enables us to assess the following factors:

• Credit score
• Identity verification
• Public record search
• Criminal history
• Rent-to-income verification
• Eviction records
• Employment verification
• Rental history

Credit Score

Yes, credit scores are important to us, but we are more interested in the things that contributed to the credit rating. A less than desirable credit score may be offset by great rental history and solid income.

• 700-800 = Standard Approval*
• 600-699 = Conditional Approval* (typically requires double-deposit)
• Below 600 = Credit scores below 600 will not be approved

*Other factors may affect the overall approval

Criminal History

Residency may be denied due to a criminal record; please see criminal criteria below:

• Misdemeanors
  • Any misdemeanor may be subject to denial
  • Type of charge and date of conviction may affect the decision
  • Proof of resolution may also be required
• Felonies
  • Any felony conviction will be denied

Income Verification

Your monthly income must be a minimum of three (3) times the monthly rent. You will be required to provide proof of income regardless if you are employed by a third party, or self-employed.

If you are self-employed, you will need to provide the following proof of income:

• Bank statements
• Tax returns

If you are not self-employed you will need to provide the following proof of income:

• Copies of your last 3 pay stubs and 3 months bank statements
• Tax returns (if applicable)

Rental History

You will need to provide a rental reference which confirms a minimum of 1 year or more of valid, verifiable rental history from a third-party landlord. If you have rental history shorter than 12 months, a double deposit may be required.

You MAY not be approved for a lease if your rental history includes one or more of the following:

• Eviction(s)
• Excessive lease violations
• Excessive property damage
• Unauthorized tenants/pets
• Pest infestations due to tenant negligence
• Improper notice to vacate
