Tenant Qualifications & FAQ

Monthly gross income must be at least three times the rent for the apartment you are interested in renting. Gross income includes all applicable sources you wish to include, prior to any deductions your employer may remove from your paycheck. Keep in mind, you will need to provide proof of any income you include in your application, as well as your current employment status.

For example, if the monthly rent for the apartment you are interested in is $1,200 per month, multiplied by three is $3,600. Your overall gross income must be at least this amount to be approved. 

A minimum credit score of 600 is required. If you have concerns about your credit score, communicate them with us in advance so we can inform you of all your options.

To be approved, you cannot have any evictions in the past five years.

In order to apply and enjoy one of our apartments, be prepared to share:

• A valid (non-expired) State Issued ID or driver's license (for each adult tenant).
• Your social security number.
• Submit to a background check, approval requires that each tenant has no history of violent and/or drug related crimes, criminal activity involving children or if you appear on the sex offender registry.

A security deposit equal to one month's rent is required. The security deposit should never be considered a substitute for rent or missed rent. Please read your lease and non-standard rental provisions to better understand how your security deposit functions as part of your overall lease and enjoyment of your apartment through the duration of your tenancy.
