Qualification Guidelines and Rental Criteria 


We are delighted you are interested in leasing a home at our community! This document outlines the criteria for qualifying as a resident. To be considered for approval, each person over the age of 18 must complete a separate rental application. Any omissions, errors, or falsifications may result in denial of an application, terminating the right to occupy the apartment, and forfeiting all application fees and deposits. All applications are subject to approval through an outside application agency. Approval/Denial is based on review of the following criteria.

Income/Employment:
Gross income must be approximately three (3) times the monthly rent. Proof of income and all sources of income must be verifiable. Employment must reflect at least six (6) months of employment history. If self-employed, tax returns for a trailing two (2) year period must be provided. 

Rental Verification:

Former landlords will be contacted for rental verification. Any applicant that is a first-time renter, has an eviction or owes monies to another property(s) or management company may result in approval with additional conditions requiring a second chance fee or denial.
