Application Process & Qualification Standards
Thank you for your interest in renting one of our homes! Below is a detailed explanation of our application process, as well as our standards for qualification.
Application Process
From application to move-in
Applications are reviewed in the order they are received. We may work on more than one application for the same property at a time — being first to apply does not guarantee selection. The most qualified applicant, based on the standards below, is offered the home.
01
Submit application
Every person on the lease completes a Rental Application in full — including previous landlords, references, and employer contact info. Incomplete applications will NOT be processed.
02
Attach documents
Include a copy of your photo ID and your last 3 pay stubs (or last 2 years of tax returns if self-employed). Missing documents = incomplete application.
03
Verification (≈3 business days)
Once complete, we begin working immediately. We aim to process within 3 business days depending on how quickly we reach your employer and past landlords.
04
Tour the property
If you meet salary and rental-reference requirements, we'll contact you to schedule a showing of the home.
05
Credit & background check
If you wish to proceed, you'll receive an email from Apartments.com to authorize a credit/background check. There is a $29 fee paid through Apartments.com.
06
Approval & move-in
After approval, the lease must be signed and security deposit received within 24 hours. Remaining move-in funds and utility transfers must be completed before taking occupancy.

Qualification Standards
Who qualifies to rent
Applicants must exhibit a responsible financial life. Each person who plans to be on the lease must independently meet or exceed the credit-score requirement. Income can be combined between applicants. At the landlord’s discretion, compensating factors such as an additional security deposit or co-signer may be required if an applicant fails to meet a single standard.
Credit & Resident Score
TransUnion Resident Score above 600. Credit check conducted on all applicants. Score reflects credit history factors statistically tied to ability to pay rent.
Income Requirements
Monthly income must meet or exceed 3× the rent, from verifiable sources only. Housing voucher holders are evaluated on the tenant's portion of the rent. Income can be combined between applicants.
Rental History
Positive references from all landlords for the previous 5 years. No evictions or unpaid judgments from previous landlords within the last 5 years.
Bankruptcy
A single discharged bankruptcy is reviewed for 6–12 months of positive credit history since discharge. More than one discharged bankruptcy will not be approved.
Background Check
A background check is conducted on all applicants. Background must exhibit a pattern of responsibility.
Identification
Current photo identification and a valid Social Security Number are required.
Occupancy
Limited to 2 people per bedroom. Room size and age of occupants are considered when determining occupancy.
Pets & Assistance Animals
Pet allowance varies by property — inquire directly. Assistance/ESA animals require verifiable documentation submitted with the application.
- Applicants who do not meet the minimum screening standards will not be approved. Applications containing false information will be immediately disqualified.
Move-in Requirements
After you're approved
- Lease must be executed and signed by all parties within 24 hours of approval.
- Security deposit must be received within 24 hours — property is then removed from the market.
- All remaining move-in funds, including the pet deposit (if applicable) and first month's rent, must be paid before taking occupancy.
- All tenant-paid utilities must be transferred into the prospective tenant's name by the move-in date.
