Frequently Asked Questions About The Exchange Apartments
What do you look for in the application?
Our third-party screening company looks at 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-apply with a guarantor.
Are guarantors accepted?
US-based guarantors are accepted for applicants who do not meet the required rent-to-income ratio only. Only one guarantor per home is allowed. Guarantors may be relatives or an employer; friends may not serve as a guarantor. They need to have a gross monthly income that's at least 6 times the monthly rent. It's one of the key factors in our screening policy, alongside a few other criteria. The guarantor is responsible to pay for an application fee as well in the amount of $100.

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 six 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. For out-of-country applicants who have not secured a government-issued ID within their 1st 30 days, a passport has been accepted and screened against the property address with a Max Deposit.
