Q: What do I need to do to apply for an apartment?
A: 1. You will need to completely fill out a Rental Application
(by either applying online or coming to the office). Please make
sure to answer all questions and fill in all blanks.
2. You will need to bring to the office
a money order for $75.00 for the non-refundable
processing fee.
3. You will need to bring to the office
a valid state issued photo id.
4. You will need to bring to the office
your social security card.
5. You will need to bring to the office
proof of income which includes your 3 most recent pay stubs, and
if applicatble an ssi/ss award letter and any other source of income.
* Please note all family members which are 18 years of age or older
are to provide the above information, all documents are to be originals
(photo copies are not acceptable).
** Completion of a rental application does not insure approval for
rental of an apartment home.
Q: My credit may not qualify me for an apartment. Can I
apply with a co-signor who will not live with me?
A: Yes, having someone co-sign with you for the apartment can improve
your chance that your application will be approved. However, the
co-signor must be able to afford the cost
of the apartment as well. The co-signor must also realize that they
will be just as financially responsible as you are for any damages,
rents, fees and any other charges for the
entire time you live there.
Q: Why can't 5 people live in a 2 bedroom (or 3 bedroom
live in a 1 bedroom)?
A: We have found that up to 2 people can sleep comfortably
in a bedroom. Any more than this can create an overcrowding situation
and possible fire or health hazard. Most
cities also have local ordinances that limit the number of people
in an apartment, based on the bedroom size. We have also found that
having more occupants in apartments often
leads to more noise and disturbances of neighbors.
Q: Am I allowed to have a pet in my apartment?
A: Restrictions apply and vary at each location. Cats and
small dogs are allowed. We require a pet security deposit of $250.00
and $25.00 pet rent per month.
You will need to bring with you proof that your
pet has had its vaccinations. Your pet must weigh less that 35 pounds
at its full growth. You will also need to
bring your pet in to the office so we can take
a photograph of it.
Q: What is renter's insurance and do you provide it?
A: Many residents believe they are covered by our insurance
if something happens to their belongings, if someone is injured
in their apartment, or if they cause damage
or injury to someone else on the property. The truth is your belongings
are not covered, and you could be sued if you are responsible for
causing damage or injury. You can purchase
renter's insurance from any agent that offers it.
