We are working with neighbors and other landlords in this area to maintain the quality of the neighborhood. We want to make sure that people do not use rental units for illegal activity. To end that, we have a thorough screening process.

If you meet the application criteria and are accepted, you will have the peace of mind of knowing that other renters in this area (our rental units) are being screened with equal care, and that the risk of illegal activity occurring in the area is reduced.

Please review our list of criteria. If you feel you meet the criteria, please apply. Please note that we provide equal housing opportunity: we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, disability, national origin, or familial status.

1. A COMPLETE APPLICATION: One for each adult (18 years or older). If a line isn't filled in, or the omission explained satisfactorily, we will return it to you.
2. TWO PIECES OF I.D. MUST BE SHOWN: We require a photo I.D. (a driver's license or other government issued photo identification card) and a second piece of I.D. as well. Present with completed application.
3. RENTAL HISTORY VERIFIABLE FROM UNBIASED SOURCES: If you are related by blood or marriage to one of the previous landlords listed, or your rental history does not include at least two previous landlords, we will require: a qualified co-signer on your rental agreement (qualified co-signers must meet all application screening criteria).

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.

If you owned, rather than rented, your previous home, you will need to furnish mortgage company references and proof of title ownership or transfer.

4. SUFFICIENT INCOME/RESOURCES: Your income must be three times the rent.

For example, if the rent is $500 per month, you must have income of at Least $1500 per month.

For unmarried roommates, we do not combine income. Each person must qualify on their own. One applicant must meet the full criteria completely. If the qualified applicant should move, at the landlord's discretion, all remaining parties may be asked to vacate the premises.

We must be able to verify independently the amount and stability of your income. (For example: through pay stubs, employer/source contact or tax records. If self employed: business license, tax records, bank records, or a list of client references).

5. SECTION 8 INFORMATION ACCESS: Section 8 applicants must sign a consent form allowing the local agency overseeing the Section 8 Program to verify information from your file regarding your rental history.
6. FALSE INFORMATION IS GROUNDS FOR DENIAL: You will be denied rental if you misrepresent any information on the application. If misrepresentations are found after a rental agreement is signed, your rental agreement will be terminated.
7. CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF CRIMES WILL RESULT IN DENIAL OF YOUR APPLICATION: You will be denied rental if, in the last 10 years, you have had a conviction for any type of crime that would be considered a serious threat to real property or to other residents' peaceful enjoyment of the premises, including the manufacture, possession, or distribution of controlled substances, arson, assault, etc.
8. CERTAIN COURT JUDGEMENTS AGAINST YOU MAY RESULT IN DENIAL OF YOUR APPLICATION: If you have ever been through a court-ordered eviction, or had a judgement against you for financial delinquency, your application will be denied. This restriction may be waived if there is no more than one instance, the circumstances can be justified, and you provide a qualified co signer on your rental agreement or you can provide written proof that all such judgements have satisfied and paid in full.
9. POOR CREDIT RECORD (OVERDUE ACCOUNTS) MAY RESULT IN DENIAL OF YOUR APPLICATION.
10. POOR REFERENCES FROM PREVIOUS LANDLORDS MAY RESULT IN DENIAL OF YOUR APPLICATION:You will be turned down if previous landlords report significant complaint levels of noncompliance activity such as: repeated disturbance of the neighbor's peace; reports of illegal activities; damage to the property beyond normal wear; reports of violence or threats to landlords or neighbors; allowing persons not on the lease to reside to reside on the premises; failure to give proper notice when vacating the property.

    Also you will be turned down if a previous landlord would be disinclined to rent to you again for any reason pertaining to the lease violating behavior of yourself, your pets, or others allowed on the property during your tenancy.

11. WE WILL ACCEPT THE FIRST QUALIFIED APPLICANT.
12. WE WILL REQUIRE UP TO TWO (2) BUSINESS DAYS TO PROCESS AN APPLICATION.
