B2B Realty does not discriminate against any person based on race, color, religion, gender, national origin, familial status, or disability. The rental criteria listed below explains the policies with regard to standards that must be met by each applicant in order to be approved for residency.
Age – All applicants must be of legal age. All parties 18 years or older are required to complete an application.
Identity Verification – All applicants (and co-signers when applicable) are required to show a driver's license or a government issued photo identification.
Income – We require that your combined household gross monthly income be equal to or greater than three times the market rent.
Credit History – Credit history will be verified by a third party verification service. The applicant will receive a credit score based on statistical data such as payment history, number and type of accounts, outstanding debt, and age of accounts. Based on the credit score, the application will be accepted, denied or accepted with conditions. Co-signers will only be accepted in the case of limited credit history or fulltime student status.
Accepted: The applicant will be accepted with the standard deposits and fees.
Denied: Application will not be accepted. The applicant will be provided with contact information for the consumer reporting agencies who provided consumer information.
Accepted with Conditions: The applicant is required to pay an additional deposit equal to one months' market rent.
Criminal Background – Criminal background checks will be conducted on all applicants by approved and authorized third-party firms. B2B Realty will evaluate applicants’ criminal background consistent with applicable federal, state, and local laws. B2B Realty will evaluate any convictions that are reported on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the applicant should be approved or denied tenancy. Considerations include: the nature and severity of the criminal conduct; the number of convictions; when the convictions occurred; the applicant’s age at the time of the convictions; any rehabilitative efforts by the applicant; and the overall rental history of the applicant since being released from incarceration. If the applicant has any information regarding his/her criminal background that he/she would like to provide for consideration, including information regarding mitigating factors or evidence of rehabilitation, he/she may do so and it will be considered. For any applicant with pending arrests or charges that raise a concern for the health, safety, or security of the residents and their property, his or her application will be provisionally denied and he/she is invited to reapply once the arrest or charges have been resolved by a finding that the applicant was not guilty, the charges are dropped, or there was some similar resolution. Additional documentation may be required at that time to establish the applicant was found not guilty or the charges were dropped and/or resolved.
Applicants with No Credit History or Full-Time Students – If the applicant has no credit history or is a Full-Time student, the following will be required:
▪ Secure a co-signer to improve the score to an accepted. A co-signer must complete an application, pay the application fee, meet all of the rental criteria and sign the rental agreement. The co-signer will be held liable in case of any default by the applicant/resident.
Automatic Denial – Applicants will automatically denied residency if:
• Negative rental history (Evictions)
• There is falsification of any information entered on application forms.
