In order to assist you with your decision on your new home, we are providing this list of the requirements we use to qualify applicants for residency in our communities. Nothing contained in these requirements shall constitute a representation that all residents and occupants currently residing in our communities have met or currently meet these guidelines. Each person age 18 or older who will live in the rental unit must submit an application and satisfy these requirements. Subject to applicable laws, our requirements include, but are not limited to, the following criteria:
IDENTIFICATION. Applicants must present a valid government issued photo identification card for each person age 18 or older.
INCOME. Applicants must collectively have verifiable income in an amount not less than 3 times the rental rate for homes, 2 times the rental rate for RVs.
CREDIT HISTORY. We obtain a credit report on each applicant. Our credit reporting agency evaluates credit (which may include rent payment history) as an indicator of future rent payment performance. An unsatisfactory or insufficient finding will result in the requirement of an additional deposit, guarantor, or denial. Applicants are responsible for ensuring their credit history is accurate.
GUARANTORS. If a guarantor is needed, he/she must meet the entire qualifying criteria as presented above. All guarantors must have a verifiable source of income in an amount not less than 5 times the rental rate.
ADULT DEPENDENT. If there is a person age 18 or older who will reside in the apartment home but who will not be executing the lease documents, that person will need to qualify as an “Adult Dependent.” In order to qualify someone as an Adult Dependent, you must execute the Adult Dependent Certification, and the proposed Adult Dependent must be approved through our regular criminal background check process. The leaseholder(s) will be responsible for ensuring that the Adult Dependent complies with all community rules and requirements in the lease documents, but the Adult Dependent will not be financially obligated to pay rent or other amounts due under the lease documents.
CRIMINAL HISTORY. We obtain a criminal background check on each applicant who will reside in the property. It is possible your application will be denied due to criminal convictions.
OCCUPANCY. The following occupancy standards apply based on two persons per bedroom per rental unit:
| Unit Size | Persons |
| Studio | One Person |
| One Bedroom | Two Persons |
| Two Bedrooms | Four Persons |
| Three Bedrooms | Six Persons |
| Four Bedrooms | Eight Persons |
PETS. Not all units allow pets. However, every tenant must complete a pet screening process through Petscreening.com. A link will be sent to applicant after application is completed.
Due to property insurance restrictions, the following dog breeds are not allowed, even in pet friendly homes:
| Pit Bull Terriers | Staffordshire Terriers |

RENTER’S INSURANCE REQUIREMENT. You may be required to carry a minimum of $100,000 Personal Liability Insurance coverage. To satisfy this requirement, you must provide evidence of insurance coverage at initial lease signing and maintain this coverage throughout the entire term of your residency. In addition, we may require that you add our community as an “Interested Party,” “Party of Interest,” or similar language. Your lease will have additional details about the insurance requirements.
FAIR HOUSING STATEMENT. We are committed to compliance with all federal, state, and local fair housing laws. We do not discriminate against applicants based on race, color, age, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, disability, or any other legally protected classification or status. All persons involved with the leasing and operation of our communities receive training on fair housing laws. We will consider requests for reasonable accommodations based upon a disability. We will consider reasonable modification of existing premises, which may be at the expense of the person requesting the modification.
RENTAL RATES AND LEASE TERMS. Original rental rate quotes will be honored for 2 business days. The rental rate quote is associated with the unit’s availability at the time of your quote, move-in date, and lease term requested. Any changes to the time of the quote, your move-in date, or lease term may require a revised rental rate quote which may result in a different monthly rental rate.
FALSIFICATION OF APPLICATION: Any false statements or false information included in an application may result in denial of the application.
APPLICANT APPROVAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Applicant acknowledges and agrees that the criteria referenced above will be considered in the qualification process. Applicants who do not meet the requirements referenced above will be declined or be subject to additional requirements, including, but not limited to, additional fees, deposits, rent or providing a guarantor.
