There may be residents and occupants that have resided at this community prior to these requirements going into effect; additionally, our ability to verify whether these requirements have been met is limited to the information we receive from Choicepoint Services Inc./Resident Data and other third party sources.
Please review this information before filling out an application.
RENTAL APPLICATIONS:
A rental application is to be completed separately by all occupants 18 years or older. An application fee of $50.00 is paid for each application. Married couples with joint credit may complete one application for a $60.00 application fee. Applicant must provide a valid drivers license (or state I.D. card) and social security number. Non-US citizen applicants must provide a current passport, INS identification card or work/student visa and a qualified Co-applicant, who is a US citizen, must also sign the lease.

CREDIT CRITERIA:
Each applicant’s credit history will be analyzed as shown on his/her respective credit report. Acceptance for residency will be based on a scoring model provided by Choicepoint. The system evaluates debt to income ratio, rent to income ratio, FICO credit score, check writing history, and public records. Applicant cannot be approved with any outstanding utility collections in the last 12 months. When management notifies the applicant of utility debts that need to be satisfied, the applicant has 72 hours to provide receipts or the apartment reserved will go back on the market. Applicant must have a positive check verification rating or they will be required to pay rent with a certified check or money order. (Rentalpayments cannot be paid in cash).
INCOME:
All applicants must have verifiable income to support the rental payment. Employment income is verified by the applicant providing the two most recent paycheck stubs. For applicants starting a new job, a job offer letter including first date of employment, salary information, and supervisor contact information, will be acceptable. Other income, such as commissions, tips or bonuses will be accepted if included in paycheck stubs or claimed on last year’s tax return. Child support or alimony income will be accepted with a copy of the court order and documentation of the two most recent payments. Self-employed applicants must provide their previous year’s tax return. Social security, pension and disability income is acceptable with the two most recent monthly statements. In the case of roommates, when a fully qualified applicant has a roommate who qualifies in all respects except financially, they may rent an apartment together; however, they both must sign the lease.
CRIMINAL HISTORY:
A criminal background search will be performed on all occupants 18 years or older. This applies to occupants as well as applicants.

A maximum of 2 cats will be accepted with a non-refundable fee of $250.00. They must be de-clawed and neutered. Small caged animals will also be accepted; however, they must remain in the cage at all times. No dogs will be permitted; except those medically necessary to assist the disabled. (Doctor’s written authorization will be required).
