Our rental criteria
All applicants should please be sure to read and follow the criteria on this page for consideration of a complete application. Only completed applications will be further processed in the order received. Groups of more than one applicant will not be considered complete until the applications from all members of the group are received. Each applicant of legal age must submit an individual rental application. Please note that, while equivalent applications are processed in the order received, other factors such as the requested date of the commencement of tenancy may result in priority of another application.
A fully completed application includes filling out the application form paying the tenant screening fee, and complete and final landlord references, mortgage payment verification, employment verification, and/or pet references as indicated in the application form. Applications are not accepted unless all applicants have viewed the property. For applicants outside the area, one member of the group of residents or another individual identified by the applicant must visit the property in person or use Skype, FaceTime, or another interactive “real time” method of taking a virtual tour of the property on behalf of those not present in person. Failure to arrive on time for the showing appointment, or to provide advance notice of the intent to reschedule, may result in denial of the application.
