1) What are your credit and criminal history requirements?
Applicant must have good credit and sufficient income (generally speaking, at least a 650 credit score and verifiable income of 3 times the monthly rent amount). Previous evictions, charge-offs, or accounts in collections from other property managers or apartment complexes may be cause for denial. Applicants may be denied for felony convictions of crimes against persons or property. Applicants may also be denied for misdemeanor convictions of crimes against persons or property within seven years of disposition, release, or parole. Applicants may be required to submit additional information regarding the facts and circumstances of previous criminal convictions. Applicants may be denied for previous convictions for the illegal manufacture of distribution of a controlled substance.
2) Do you accept pets?
Many of our units accept pets, but not all. We do charge a non refundable pet fee, which varies depending on the property, number, and type of pet. The maximum number of pets we will accept on any property is 3 animals. Due to insurance company restrictions regarding animals considered to be dangerous or aggressive, we do not allow the following dogs: Pit Bulls & Staffordshire Terriers, Doberman Pinschers, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Chows, Great Danes, Presa Canarios, Akitas, Alaskan Malamutes, Siberian Huskies, Wolf-hybrids, or any mix of these breeds.To help ensure ALL of our tenants understand our pet and animal-related policies, we use a third-party screening service and require EVERYONE to complete a profile (No Pet/Pet/Animal). This process ensures we have formalized pet and animal-related policy acknowledgments and more accurate records to create greater mutual accountability. A link to the PetScreening website can be found on our home page. Please contact our leasing agent for questions about a specific property or about a specific pet.
3) What about assistance animals?
An assistance animal is an animal that works, provides assistance, or performs tasks for the benefit of a person with a disability, or provides emotional support that alleviates one or more identified symptoms or effects of a person’s disability. An assistance animal is not considered a pet and is not subject to a pet fee, however we do use a third-party screening service to review documentation for service animals and assistance animals. If your documentation cannot be authenticated, your request for an assistance animal may be denied.
4) How do I become a tenant?
All applicants 18 or older who will occupy the unit must fill out the online application and pay a $40 non-refundable application fee. We will screen each applicant’s credit history, rental history (including past evictions) and criminal background. Once your tenancy has been approved, you will be asked to sign a lease and remit money for your first month's rent and security deposit. No unit will be held until a deposit is received and a lease is signed. Please read the lease very carefully, because it is a legally binding document. If you violate the lease in any way, you may wind up losing the right to live in your unit. Rent collections are strictly enforced, as are pet policies. If you plan to get a pet, be sure you find out whether or not a pet will be allowed at that specific property before signing the lease.
5) Why do you charge a $40 application fee?
The application fee is required for each adult planning to live in one of our units. It allows us to cover the cost of running a credit check, checking rental history and income/employment verification, and performing a background check.
6) Do you accept housing vouchers (Section 8 or other assistance)?
No, we do not.
7) May I have a co-signer?
We generally do not permit the use of co-signers or guarantors.
8) May I have a roommate?
Yes, however, all adult occupants over the age of 18 must be approved for tenancy and sign the lease agreement. In a roommate situation, both roommates are individually AND jointly for the rent. We do not rent properties “by the bedroom.”
