Applicant FAQ

What do I need in order to qualify for an apartment?

In order to qualify for our rentals, we look at a few different things. We’re looking for applicants who earn three times the listed monthly rent. We want to ensure affordability and comfort to all of our prospective tenants. We do run a credit and background check where we look for a credit score of at least 600 and a passing criminal record. Good references also make for great applications.

My credit score does not meet your minimum requirement. What are my options?

We try to help everyone the best we can to find their next home. If you have bad credit, don't worry, we look for at least one of the applicants on the lease to have a score of 600. If nobody in your household meets that criteria, we can still work with you and a cosigner.

Do you accept housing assistance?

Most, not all, of our properties are able to accept different forms of housing assistance such as Section 8. If you do receive housing assistance, list it on your application along with any other income that you receive.

Tenant FAQ

How do I communicate that something needs to be done in my apartment?

The best and easiest way to submit a maintenance request is by logging into your tenant portal. There, you can easily track and manage all of the projects in your home.

I'd like to add someone to my lease, what has to be done in order to achieve this?

Every situation is a little different. In most cases, this additional roommate would need to go through the application process in order to be added onto a lease. However, the best thing to do is get in touch with your tenant manager to discuss the particulars and details.

Do I need renters insurance and how can I purchase it with you?

When signing a lease agreement with us, we do require that your carry renters insurance to protect your personal belongings. We've partnered with MSI to provide a fast, affordable way to get covered. All you need to do is login to your tenant portal, click the renters insurance notice at the top of the page and follow the instructions to purchase coverage. We're working on building local relationships to support the communities we serve. Stay tuned for more updates.

If you've already purchased Renter's Insurance, simply upload your proof of coverage in your Tenant Portal.
