Our third-party screening company considers multiple factors to determine approval. Your credit, rental history, current employment, and background screening will all be considered. Those with no credit score or a lower credit score may be accepted with conditions requiring a higher deposit or re-applying with a guarantor.
What documents are required to apply?
When you are ready to apply, please have the following documents handy for a smoother application process: a U.S. government-issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license or passport) and proof of employment. We require four weeks' worth of paystubs or an official offer letter. For self-employed individuals, reach out to the leasing office for details on documents needed for income verification.
Are guarantors accepted?
US-based guarantors are accepted for applicants who do not meet the required credit history or income requirements. Only one guarantor per home is allowed.
