We conduct credit, criminal, and eviction background checks through our software vendor, which is currently connected with Experian. However, this is subject to change. We do not accept credit reports submitted by applicants. Other credit reporting agencies may show different scores, but we only consider those from our vendor. This is a hard inquiry on your credit. If that is not acceptable, do not submit a rental application.

Closed bankruptcies are acceptable. Open bankruptcies result in automatic denial.

A charge-off is a debt written off by a creditor due to non-payment. Charge-offs older than two years do not affect qualification or security deposit requirements. Charge-offs within the last two years require an additional half-month security deposit for approval.

We conduct criminal background checks in compliance with federal, state, and local fair housing laws. A criminal record does not automatically disqualify an applicant. We conduct an individualized assessment considering the nature, severity, and recency of the offense, as well as its relevance to rental housing. We do not deny applicants solely for arrests without convictions. Offenses related to violent crimes, property damage, or offenses that pose a direct threat to the health and safety of other residents or property may result in denial. Applicants have the right to provide mitigating evidence or documentation of rehabilitation during the application process.

Any eviction activity found on the background check will result in automatic denial, regardless of date, judgment results, or judgment amount. If an eviction was filed against you, your application will be declined even if the case was dismissed. Exception: A current tenant in good standing who initially qualified and is requesting a transfer will not be denied if new eviction history is found.

Any outstanding debt to a landlord at the time of the background check results in automatic denial. Paying off the balance will not result in approval. A letter from the previous landlord confirming the debt was paid in full (not at a discounted rate) is required for documentation purposes.

The security deposit is determined by the lowest credit score in the applicant group.

Deposit: Equal to one month’s rent.

Deposit: Equal to 1.5 months' rent. Payment Structure: Initial Payment: One month’s rent due at lease signing. Remaining Balance: Paid in 5 equal installments over the next 5 months ($20 billing fee per installment).

Deposit: Equal to three months' rent. Payment Structure: Initial Payment: One month’s rent due at lease signing. Remaining Balance: Paid in 5 equal installments over the next 5 months ($20 billing fee per installment).

Deposit: Equal to three months' rent. Payment Structure: Initial Payment: 1.5 months' rent due at lease signing. Remaining Balance: Paid in 10 equal installments over the next 10 months ($20 billing fee per installment).

If any applicant in the group has a credit score below 500, the entire group is denied.

The minimum age to rent a single-family residence or duplex is 21. Applicants between 21 and 24 may be required to purchase a renters bond based on the property. The minimum age to rent a multi-family unit is 23.

Each adult who will reside in the home for more than 7 nights per calendar year must submit an application, pay the application fee, meet all qualifications, and pass the background check. Background checks are not processed until applications for all adults in the home have been submitted. A valid ID must be provided for all individuals aged 18 and over, including dependents. Each adult (18-69) must submit a separate rental application, as each must consent to and pay for their background check. When there are multiple applicants, the lowest credit score is used to calculate the security deposit. Co-signers We do not accept co-signers.
