Tenant Screening Criteria
We are working with area neighbors and local police to maintain the quality of the neighborhood. We want to make sure that people do not use rental units for illegal activity.
We must keep our buildings safe and secure for all residents. As a result, we have a thorough screening process.
Please review the criteria list below. If you feel you meet the criteria, please apply.
- Application Process: We must receive a complete application, (one application for each adult 18 years of age or older). The rental application needs to be filled out completely and accurately. We will not process an incomplete application. Any misstatement or omissions made on an application, whether or not discovered before the move-in date, is a ground for denial of an application or termination of an existing tenancy. Information must also be verifiable. If information given to us on the application cannot be checked out or verified, there is a valid basis for rejection. To process your application, we must receive a non-refundable application fee of $35 at the time of application. Every adult over the age of 18 that will be occupying the apartment is required to complete a rental application and provide a government issued photo ID.
- Minimum Income: Household income requirements vary by property. To be counted as household income, amounts must be verifiable, reliable, and predictable. Income received from temporary jobs or unemployment is not considered to be verifiable, reliable, or predictable.
- Housing History: You must provide the name and last known telephone number of each landlord/property manager for each address you had for the last three years. Roommate references are not acceptable. Failure to disclose a record of address for the last three years is cause for rejection of your application. Positive rental references are one of the most important things management looks at in screening applicants. The refusal of a prior landlord to give a reference, or a negative reference, will be grounds for rejection of an application. In the case of young renters or students, we reserve the right to vary this requirement if all other aspects of the screening appear positive and/or the applicant is able to pay an additional deposit, or pay an amount for advance rent, along with an approved co-signer. For a co-signer to be approved, they must also be approved through the application process. Rental history must come from an unbiased source.
- Eviction Filings: Eviction history will be checked. Eviction actions may be a basis for rejection of your application.
- Credit Check: Adverse credit references may be grounds for rejection for an application.
- Criminal History: Criminal history (convictions and arrest records) may be a basis for rejection of an application. Criminal histories of violence and/or sexual offenses will be grounds for rejection.
- Business Relationship: The relationship between a landlord and tenant is a business relationship. A courteous and business like attitude is required from both parties. We reserve the right to refuse renting to anyone who is verbally abusive, swears, is disrespectful, makes threats, has been drinking, is argumentative, or in general displays an attitude at the time of the apartment showing and application process that causes management to believe we would not have a positive business relationship.
- Requirements for Pets: Certain pets may be allowed in select buildings. An additional pet fee is required in addition to meeting all requirements of management for consent of a pet. This may include an additional pet deposit. (Except for animals used to accommodate the disabled.)
- Equal Opportunity: We are an equal opportunity housing provider. We will accept the first qualified application. We do not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, marital status, religion, familiar status, disability, sexual orientation or status with respect to receipt of public assistance. If you feel you have been treated unfairly in any way or have been discriminated against by an agent or employee of this company, contact us immediately. We will promptly investigate and respond to any concern.
- Security Deposit: Because of the time and effort spent to verify your application, once you have been approved for residency, security deposits will not be returned for any reason. If you change your mind and decide to give up the home or apartment after you have been approved and agreed to sign a lease, you will forfeit the security deposit. If your application does not meet our approval, we will return the security deposit.
