Welcome to our community. Before you take the time to rent an apartment, please review our rental criteria.  A separate rental application must be processed on all prospective residents 18 years of age or older, or prospective residents under the age of 18 who have been emancipated, and an application fee paid for each applicant. Government-issued photo identification is required to view this community and at application and move-in.  All prospective residents will be qualified on the following criteria:

The community evaluates the above information with an analyzation method provided through an independent 3^rd party contractor (Western Reporting, Inc.) that weighs the indicators of future rent payment performance.  For further explanation of this type of method, please contact the 3^rd party contractor.

Conditional Approval

An Additional Deposit will be required if the credit recommendation is returned with “conditional approval” or criteria for any one of Income, Credit or Rental History have not been met, or have only been partially met.  All adverse action requirements will be combined when reviewing multiple applications.

Co-Signers

In the event a co-signer is utilized, he/she must complete an Application of Residency and meet all of the Income and Credit Criteria.  A co-signer will be fully responsible for the Lease Agreement if the occupying resident(s) default.

Criminal History

Criminal backgrounds on all leaseholders and occupants over the age of 18 will be checked. It is the policy of this community to obtain information on past criminal activities of prospective residents. Such criminal information may include arrests, convictions and pending criminal actions. This community shall not deny applicants solely on the basis of arrests or pending criminal actions. This community shall not allow persons who are on any sex offender list. Likewise, persons with criminal convictions which relate to the manufacture or distribution of controlled substances may be denied. Persons whose convictions relate to possession of controlled substances may be accepted if they provide evidence of completion of a treatment program. Persons who have convictions involving violence, gang activity, arson, and injury to persons will be required to provide additional information to establish that they do not pose a risk to the property or the other residents. In evaluating prior criminal history, this community will consider the type of crime, severity of the crime, and the length of time since conviction and release. Terms and conditions of parole and probation may also be considered. Denied applicants may petition for reconsideration by providing information regarding mitigating circumstances and other information that may assist the community in a review of the applicant’s criminal history.

Corporate Leases

An application can be submitted in the name of a company as long as the business entity has a valid Federal Tax ID number that is verifiable by the Secretary of State in the state in which the community is located.  A credit report will be accessed to determine the company’s ability to make timely payments of rent.  The company must provide a minimum of three (3) trade references that will be verified.  A larger application fee or additional deposit may be required.  All occupants over the age of 18 must submit an application and criminal background must be processed and approved prior to occupancy.  The above criminal history guidelines will apply. 

Automatic Denial of Application

An applicant will be automatically denied if they have been evicted by a landlord in the past 24 months or have a collection or debt owing to previous landlord.  Falsification of any information on the rental application will result in an automatic denial of application.

Please note: These are our rental criteria. There may be residents or occupants that have resided at this community prior to these requirements going into effect.  Additionally, our ability to verify whether these requirements have been met is limited to the information made available to us by the various reporting services used.
