QUALIFYING RENTAL CRITERIA
We are committed to equal housing opportunity and provide housing opportunities regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, physical or mental disability, familial status, source of income, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
Each person 18 years of age or older must submit his/her/their own application. Applicants are reviewed on the same criteria, based on who has both paid the application fee and turned in a completed application. We require all income verification, valid ID, and rental history to be turned in within 48 hours of application fee being paid to complete the screening. Application fees are $50 per applicant, paid online or at the office, and are non-refundable. Co-signers must apply and are subject to the same criteria, if applicable.
Income: Applicants must have a combined income of at least two and a half times the amount of the monthly rent from their current employer. Incomes must be verified using pay stubs, grant/loan proof, bank statements, year-to-date financial reports, letter from employer, etc. All employment history will be verified by contacting the employer.
Rental History: Verification of good rental history is required for the previous two housing providers, with a minimum of 24 months history, and no evictions in the last five years.
Credit History: Your credit must reflect that all accounts are current. If filed for bankruptcy, proof of discharge must be provided for a required minimum of two years prior. History must show fewer than 4 non-medical collections and fewer than 2 non-medical judgments within the last five years.
Criminal History: Verification of criminal history is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Although applicants will be asked to disclose any prior arrests, convictions or pending criminal actions of all anticipated occupants, this information will not be reviewed until after the applicant has had the credit and references checked and approved. A criminal background check will be conducted. Failure to disclose criminal information as requested is grounds for denial. Arrests will not, in themselves, be grounds for denial but may be factors used along with other criteria. Pending criminal actions may be grounds for denial but will be reviewed on a case by case basis. Convictions of any sort will be evaluated on an individualized basis. Persons who are listed on any sex offender list will not be considered. Persons who have a criminal conviction relating to manufacture or distribution of controlled substances will generally be denied. In review of criminal history, management will consider the nature and severity of the crime, along with how much time has passed since the criminal activity and/or the release from any imprisonment, parole, or probation. It is unlikely that the following persons will be accepted: persons convicted of other drug related offenses who have not provided evidence of completed drug rehabilitation; persons who have convictions relating to serious crimes involving violence, gang activity, arson, and injury to persons. Also persons who have been recently released from prison, parole, or probation may be required to provide additional information and references. Applicants may provide mitigation information. Applicants denied due to criminal history may appeal that decision by providing such appeal in writing along with any information that applicant desires to provide.
Animals: All animals require specific written permission of Management, including assistance animals. Non-assistance animals are allowed in most of our residences with an Animal Agreement, including a $350 non-refundable Animal Fee, per animal. Animal Rent is $35 per month, per animal. All medically required animals are accepted with completion of the verification and Animal Agreement.
Other: Valid current photo ID documentation (driver’s license, military ID, or State ID) is required.
Current occupancy standards are a maximum of 2 persons per bedroom, plus an additional occupant for each rental unit. Required utilities must be in the tenant’s name before the keys will be issued.
We reserve the right to require a co-signer and/or a higher security deposit in the case that the applicant does not meet one or more of the above requirements.
