APPLICATION CRITERIA
- MINIMUM of 3 times the rent in gross monthly household income. This is your gross income BEFORE deductions are taken -- all adult applicants combined. (Housing Choice Voucher holders: Your income will be evaluated differently in compliance with federal guidelines. DON'T FORGET TO UPLOAD THE MAIN PAGE OF YOUR VOUCHER INTO YOUR RENTAL APPLICATION.)
- A good record of on-time bill payment.
- Any current collection/charge-off activity must be explained. We will be particularly concerned about collections with utility companies and housing providers.
- Any recent or serious criminal convictions will be carefully evaluated for risk to property or neighbors, and for risk of not paying rent.
- Any eviction filing with a court will be carefully evaluated for risk to property or neighbors, and for risk of not paying rent.
- We evaluate applicants based on an overall picture. We receive credit scores, but do not rely solely on them. We will consider circumstances of bankruptcies, foreclosures/short sales, high student loan debt, and criminal records when making a rental decision. BE SURE TO PROVIDE ANY EXPLANATIONS YOU WOULD LIKE US TO KNOW IN THE COMMENTS BOX PROVIDED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE APPLICATION.
