Please Read Before You Began the application process:

Please obtain all required documents before submitting your application. All applications without all required uploaded supporting documents will be discontinued.

• Each adult over 18 is required to complete a separate application form. Only include your information on your application. For example, only provide your income. You would not include a co-applicant’s income or dependent's income on your application.

• Each applicant must pay the $50.00 application fee.

• Net income (after taxes) should be at least two (2) times the monthly rent and from a verifiable, unbiased source. Each applicant is required to upload 3 months of pay stubs or 2 years of signed tax returns. Please note if verification fees are required by the employer, they must be paid by the applicant.

• What if I am self-employed? - Self-employed income must be verified with previous years of CPA prepared financial statements or signed tax returns.

• Each Applicant must provide verifiable residence history for at least two (2) years whether you currently own or rent. Applicants are responsible for providing information including the names, addresses and phone numbers, of Landlords with the dates of tenancy for the previous 3-5 years. Rental history must be verified from unbiased sources. Homeownership will be verified from a current credit report. We can accept military base housing as rental history. Any evictions within the previous 5 years will be automatic grounds for denial. Broken leases will be considered on a case-by-case basis and an additional security deposit may be required. Unpaid rental judgments will result in automatic denial.

• Each Applicant will have credit history screened. We will screen credit and obtain a score through Experian. The credit report provides the history of the applicant’s bills being paid on time and history of debt “write-offs” or accounts that have gone into collection. Money owed to a previous landlord, utility company, and auto repossessions are causes for automatic denial.

• Each applicant must complete a pet screening, which includes non-pet and pet owners. The website is https://hyltonandcompany.petscreening.com.

Security Deposits:

Applicants with higher credit scores and references will generally be approved with a security deposit of one month's rent. A higher deposit may be required pending screening results.

Please allow 5-7 business days for your application to be reviewed and processed.
