Application Process

The total gross income of all applicants must not fall below three (3) times the amount of rent you will be required to pay, considering any state, federal or local assistance, benefits, or subsidies you receive. The income requirement may be modified if required by federal, state, or local government subsidy or financing programs. A guarantor or additional deposit may be required if the income requirements are not met. All applicants are subject to approval through ScreeningWorks, the community’s third party applicant screening agency. Screening criteria will be applied uniformly and in a manner consistent with all applicable laws, including state and federal housing laws, federal fair credit reporting laws, program guidelines and administrative rules. Approval of all applicants are based on an empirical system that incorporates multiple credit factors along with other non-statistical factors to determine overall applicant worthiness.

Applicants are required to verify income by completing an income verification step provided in the applicant portal after the application is submitted. Applicants can connect a bank account or connect directly to a payroll provider. In some cases, your employer may automatically provide salary information through The Work Number. Self employed applicants must either connect a bank account, provide a financial statement prepared by a CPA, or provide the previous year’s W9. Newly employed applicants must provide an official offer letter including salary and start date from the employer.

A valid government-issued photo identification is required as part of the application process. The following are acceptable forms of identification:

Group A Primary Acceptable ID

If an applicant does not have a valid form of ID from Group A, you may provide a secondary form of ID from Group B. All forms of ID must be current.

 Yes, applicants can have a guarantor. The guarantor must meet the qualifying criteria and have a gross income that is 5x the rent amount. Guarantors are for people who do not qualify for income only.

All applications MUST include everyone who will be living in the apartment, including those under the age of 18 and guarantors (if applicable).  Those over the age of 18 MUST be listed as a leaseholder.    

During the application process, the primary applicant will be prompted to invite, via email, all persons 18 and older to complete an individual application.  For anyone under 18 years of age, only name and date of birth need to be entered.  

If an application has not yet been approved by the leasing office, applicants can log into the Application Portal, and invite any additional roommates to complete their individual application.

Be sure to contact us to let us know when a new roommate has been added to ensure they are included in the approval process. Note: If an application has already been approved, please contact the leasing team directly.

Unfortunately, all applicants over the age of 18 must meet our standard Qualifying Criteria to be able to move forward in the application process.
