  • We must be provided with all previous landlord information, if requested.  If a rental address
    appears on your credit report, we will ask for the landlord's name and phone number.
  • We will verify the number of late rental payments (no more than three) and the number of NSF
    checks (no more than two) that your previous landlords have received from you.
  • If previous landlords report damages in excess of normal wear and tear to your apartment at
    move-out, or if you had more than three loud complaints during your residency, you will be
    declined for residency and not be allowed to obtain a co-signer.
  • If you have never rented previously, we will automatically request a co-signer.
  • If you have ever been evicted from an apartment, you will be declined for residency and not be
    allowed to obtain a co-signer.

For all accepted applicants, we will request a copy of a valid Drivers License or State ID and your
Social Security  Card for identity verification (copies of these documents provided will be made and
maintained in your lease file).

If applicant does not meet the income or credit requirements,
we do accept co-signers to help with residency qualification.
