This page shows our official Rental Application Guidelines word for word, so they're easy to read on any device. If this page and the PDF ever differ, the PDF is the official version.

We aim to make the application process straightforward and transparent. The guidelines below help you understand how to qualify and how to strengthen your application.

How to Qualify (Quick Summary)

• Income of ~2.5x the monthly rent (combined household)
• Positive rental history (no recent evictions or major issues)
• Stable credit profile with no recent delinquencies
• Complete application with required documentation

Income Requirements

• Household income should generally be at least 2.5 times the monthly rent
• Provide recent pay stubs or equivalent verification
• Self-employed applicants may submit tax returns or financial statements
• If income is lower, a qualified co-signer may be considered

Rental History

• Positive rental history is expected
• No evictions within the past three (3) years
• No significant lease violations or property damage
• Prior landlords may be contacted

Credit Considerations

• Credit history is reviewed as part of the application
• Recent delinquent payments, collections, or charge-offs within the last 12 months may impact approval
• High credit utilization (maxed-out accounts) may affect eligibility
• Applicants may still qualify with conditions (e.g., higher deposit or co-signer)

Co-Signer (If Needed)

• Co-signers may be accepted in certain cases
• They must qualify independently (income and credit)
• They are responsible for lease obligations

Deposits & Conditional Approval

• Co-signers or additional documentation may be requested

Application Checklist

Application Process
