Residential/Apartment Rental Criteria

Please review our Rental Criteria located on our website or attached, which includes a detailed description of the items needed to qualify your application or items that would disqualify your application. Every occupant aged 18 and over will need to apply. Our screening reports are good for all of our properties, including apartment communities and are valid for 6 months. There is no need to apply for every property that you are interested in.

If you submit an application without taking the opportunity to physically visit and visually inspect the property, please understand that there are inherent risks and possible misunderstandings in leasing and occupying a residential home “sight unseen,” and the application fee will not be refunded should such misunderstanding occur.

Rental Application Process

Step 1:Submit your complete Application, proof of income, photo ID & pay the application fee.

Step 2: Once your Application is Approved, please pay the Holding Fee. The residence you are applying for will not be held for you until your Application is approved and the Holding Fee is paid. If your residency is approved and you sign a Rental Agreement, the Holding Fee shall be credited to your Security Deposit. If your residency is approved but you do not sign a Rental Agreement the Holding Fee shall be forfeited to the landlord as liquidated damages for holding the residence.

Step 3: The lease will be sent to you electronically to review and sign. The security deposit, non-refundable carpet cleaning fee, insurance fee or proof or limited liability insurance on the property and first months rent must be paid in full and the required utilities transfers to your name.

Step 4: Sign up for utilities, which may include water, sewer, gas, electricity, trash, cable/satellite (satellite dish installations require written authorization from the manager), internet and telephone. Transferring required utilities into our name is easy with our Utility Concierge Servicer, Citizens Home Solutions. Then we will set a code on a lock box for you to access the property on the move-in day. Happy Moving Day!
