RENTAL HISTORY: Applicants must provide name, address, and dates of tenancy for previous landlords for two years. An application will not be approved if there are any previous evictions, defaults in lease agreements, excessive late rental payments, or outstanding balances owed to another landlord. It is your responsibility to provide us with the information necessary to contact your past landlords. We reserve the right to deny your application if, after making a good faith effort, we are unable to verify your rental history.

CREDIT HISTORY: Any bankruptcy must have been discharged at least 6 months prior to the date of application otherwise your application may not be approved.

More than 50% of tradelines showing as delinquent or in collections/judgment (medical excluded) may result in denial.

CRIMINAL HISTORY: Applicants will be asked to disclose any prior convictions or pending criminal actions. A criminal background check will be conducted. Failure to disclose is grounds for denial. Pending criminal actions will not, in themselves, be grounds for denial but may be factors used along with other criteria. Convictions of any sort will be evaluated on an individualized basis. Management will consider the nature of the crime and the severity of the crime, along with how much time has passed since the criminal activity and the release from any imprisonment, parole, or probation. Persons who are listed on any sex offender list will not be considered. Persons who have a criminal conviction relating to drugs who have not provided evidence of completed drug rehabilitation will not be accepted nor will persons whose drug conviction relates to conviction for other than possession.
