AVAILABILITY: Applications for apartment homes will be accepted on a first come first served basis and subject to the availability of apartment type requested. Rental Rates are subject to change without notice.
RENTAL APPLICATIONS: An Application for Occupancy must be completed and maintained for each legal adult prospective resident who will be living in the apartment and responsible for the payment of rent. Any false information will constitute grounds for rejection of application and lease may be nullified.
QUALIFYING STANDARDS: In approving an applicant for residency, there must be a MINIMUM of three positive references showing favorable payment history, otherwise the application may be rejected. If the application is accepted with questionable history, the reason for the Manager’s decision to accept the applicant must be noted in detail on the back of the application with his/her signature. The following areas must verified:
Residence: A minimum of twelve (12) months of rental history verified on present and previous residence. A positive record of prompt monthly payment, sufficient notice, and no damages is expected. For applicants who are homeowners, permission must be granted to verify payment history with the bank or lending institution.
Credit Report: An unsatisfactory credit report can disqualify an applicant from renting an apartment home at this property. An unsatisfactory credit report is one which reflects current bad debts, unpaid bills, liens, judgments, or bankruptcies. If an applicant is rejected for poor credit history, the applicant will be informed of the reason for the rejection and the name, address, and telephone number of the credit reporting agency from whom the information was obtained. The applicant will not be told of the content of the credit report. An applicant rejected for unsatisfactory credit is encouraged to obtain a copy of their credit report from the credit reporting agency, correct any erroneous information that may be on the report, and resubmit an application to this property. Discharged bankruptcies and home foreclosures may be considered but are not guaranteed for approval.
Employment: Stable employment record and income verification is required. In order for an applicant to be approved, they must earn on a gross monthly basis a minimum of 3 times the monthly rent. For self-employed applicants, a source document must be provided from which income can be verified. This may be copies of their most recent tax returns or certified verification from his/her company accountant or bank.
Bank Rating: If needed to approve an Application for Occupancy, management will call for a bank rating on current or previous bank accounts. This rating is generally based on average balance and history of NSF charges.
