Welcome to our community. Thank you for your interest in our community. In order to reside in our community, we require that each applicant meet certain rental criteria. Before you fill out our Rental Application, we suggest that you determine whether you meet our requirements. Please note that these represent our current rental criteria; nothing contained in these requirements shall constitute a guarantee or representation by the owner prior to these requirements going into effect.

1. Applicant or applicants must be a minimum of 18 years of age.
2. Occupancy Guidelines:
   • A maximum of 4 occupants is allowed in a 2BR apartment.
   • A maximum of 6 occupants is allowed in a 3BR apartment.
3. A non-refundable application fee of $30 is required for processing an application. In the case of roommates, each roommate must fill out an application and meet requirements. Once the application is approved, a $200 deposit must be paid within 3 days. The deposit will hold the apt. for up to 30 days. If after 48 hours from paying the deposit you decide not to take the apt., you will forfeit the deposit.
4. Pets are allowed under the following circumstances.
   • A $200 non-refundable pet fee must be paid on all pets 30lbs or less (at full growth). If the size of dog is debatable, you must provide a letter from Veterinarian specifying weight. A $300 non-refundable pet fee must be paid on all pets over 30lbs. We do not allow Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, Chows, or Dobermans or any pet that has previously caused damages or problems in previous rental situations.
5. No co-signers are allowed. Each applicant must meet criteria on their own.
6. Employment History - Must have six months current verifiable employment with gross monthly income of at least three times the amount of the monthly rent. If less than six months, we must be able to verify two years of previous employment. Recent graduates must provide proof of enrollment or graduation. Self-employed applicants must provide a financial statement from a CPA or previous years tax statement. Retired applicants must provide documentation of ability to pay. The only way an applicant with no current employment may qualify is by providing proof of 12 months of rent in a verifiable bank account and first and last months rent must be paid at move-in. In the case of roommates, each roommate must qualify on 75% of 3 times rental rate.
7. Rental History - All past rental history must be good. If you own/owned a home, mortgage must be verified via a credit report or written documentation from the mortgage company. An application will not be approved if there is any outstanding balance to an apartment community/rental house or mortgage company. Additionally, all occupants must have an acceptable rental history with no prior evictions.
8. Credit - All applicants must have good credit references. If you have a credit rating of I-9, judgments, or collections on your credit report, you must show proof that they have been paid or pay the first and last months rent in full on or before your move-in date. This must be paid with money order or certified check only. No exceptions will be made. In the case of bankruptcy, all adverse credit ratings must be included in the bankruptcy and at least one I-1 must be established.
