An application screening generally takes 3 business days. While it can take longer on occasion, we will communicate any delays to you. Should we have any questions or need further documentation from you, your prompt response will help us to process your application as quickly as possible. 

Applicants must collectively have verifiable income in the amount not less than 3 times the monthly rental rate. For the purpose of your rent to income ratio we will take into consideration all sources of funds (including the value of any Housing Choice Voucher). A third-party screening service will obtain a credit report to establish your credit history which will be considered in the overall credit worthiness of the application. Rental history may be obtained from past Landlord or Management companies on applicants.

Getting started is simple! Here is a general overview of what to expect:
