Frequently Asked Questions (Applicants):
A: Yes, due to the amount of inquiries we receive we request that you fill out an application beforehand. We like to ensure that our applicants are approved for the unit that they will be viewing so we don't waste your time. If the unit you apply to gets filled before you are able to view it, we can consider you for other units we have available. Your application is also good for 60 days from when you apply and we are constantly updating our website with new units.
A: We are looking for our applicants to be making at least 3x the monthly rent in their gross household income (required), good rental history, good background history, and long work history preferred. Only income that can be verified will be counted. If we are unable to get a rental reference or if you are a first time renter we will require a double deposit. We are not currently accepting cosigners.
A: Please be sure to submit a photocopy of a valid government-issued photo ID along with 3 of your most recent pay stubs or any other income verification you may have. If you will be living with anybody else over the age of 18, they must also apply. If any of these things are not submitted when applying, it will delay the time it takes to review your application as we cannot come to a decision until all of these things are supplied. Otherwise, the application process typically takes 3-5 business days.

ESA Reasonable Accommodation
A: If we have any concerns with anything on your application like your rental history, work history, credit, etc. we may request you pay a double security deposit upon approval. A double security deposit is just double whatever the normal amount for the security deposit is. It does not include any rent and is strictly a security deposit. It would be fully refundable upon move out pending a move out inspection for any damages, cleaning, etc.
A: At this time we are not currently accepting co-signers. Only the household members who will be living in the unit should apply. They must qualify on their own without the help of a co-signer. If you are a first time renter or if we have any concerns about your application like your rental history, work history, credit, etc. we may request you pay a double security deposit upon approval instead. (Please see question above for further explanation of a double security deposit).
