Tenants FAQ
We've made a lot of useful answers to the most common questions:
Q:
​Do you require an application fee?
A:
Yes. Each adult over the age of 18 years old who intends to live in the rental property must complete and submit a rental application. The cost for processing the application is $40 per adult.
Q:
What are the criteria used for approving an application?
A:
When you submit a rental application you are allowing us to perform a background search. We are attempting to determine the likelihood of your paying the rent on time, and whether you will take proper care of the property and fulfill your lease obligations. The three main factors we consider are your credit report, landlord/mortgage history, and your employment and income verification While your credit does not have to be spotless, it is important that you do not show a pattern of paying your bills late or not at all. For more detailed information on our rental qualification requirements, please refer to our Pet and Rental Qualification Guidelines form.
