APPLICATION INFORMATION / ELIGABILITY CRITERIA

 

No one factor will determine eligibility, but here are general guidelines used by our screening service:

 

1. Occupancy: occupancy limits are determined by city code, but our guidelines are as follows:

a. 1 bedroom apartment: 2 individuals.

b. 2 bedroom apartment: 4 individuals including 2 adults.

c. 3 bedroom apartment: 6 individuals including 3 adults.

 

2. Credit: We look for a positive credit history and consider a balance of factors including bankruptcy, judgements, collections, late payments.

 

3. Rental History: We look for a positive rental history and consider previous evictions, requests for move out, damage to apartments, other lease violations.

 

4. Income: You will want to make sure that your housing choice fits within your budget to avoid damaging your credit and rental history by signing a lease for more than you can afford. History tells us that income of approximately 3 times your rent is a minimum guideline for affordable housing.

 

5. Criminal History: A criminal history that includes violent, drug related, or sexual crimes is grounds for denial. Non-violent crimes in the past will be considered within the context of the strength of the other factors above. Your application may be denied based on any of these factors, or approved with exception (requiring third-party guarantee, additional deposit, and/or advance rental payment).
