Prior evictions filed or enforced, within the last 3 years will result in an automatic denial of the application. The amount of eviction filings will be considered even if they are over 3 years old. If there are multiple eviction filings in the rental history, the application may be denied.

We must be able to verify the last 2 years’ rental/mortgage payment history. We will submit a Rental Verification form to your current landlord. Applicant must have minimum of 2 years of positive rental history.

Additional deposit may be required if:

    • Late payments are reported
    • Applicant does not meet the above requirement.

We are not able to complete processing the application without this form. Residing with a family member is not considered a verifiable rental history.

We do take into consideration the current amount of the rental/mortgage payment history and the amount that the applicant is applying for. If there is more than a $100 increase in the monthly rent amount compared to what the applicant was paying, the applicant may not qualify for the property.

All applicants must consent to a criminal history verification using third party agency. Applications may be denied for certain felony convictions.

The amount of the security deposit will be determined by the applicant’s credit score and rental history and will vary between 1-3 times the monthly rent.

FALSIFICATION OF DOCUMENTS

Any falsification in Applicant’s paperwork will result in the automatic denial of the application as inconclusive and deny the right of future occupancy.  If an Applicant falsifies paperwork, the Landlord has the right to withhold all application fees paid. Falsification of application is also grounds to terminate the lease regardless of when the falsification is discovered.
