Application Requirements & Showing Policy: A $40 non-refundable application fee is required for each applicant 18 years of age or older.

Applicants should generally demonstrate:
•Verifiable income of approximately 2.5× the monthly rent
•Strong credit history (generally 700+ FICO)
Applicants with lower credit scores may still be considered depending on compensating factors such as rental history, income strength, or the use of a qualified co-signer. If a co-signer is used, the co-signer should demonstrate excellent credit (720+) and verifiable income of ~ 5× the monthly rent. If you are unsure whether you meet these guidelines, please feel free to contact the listing agent prior to submitting an application to discuss your situation.
