Each applicant may demonstrate a history of meeting prior lease or mortgage obligations and leaving any prior rented properties in good order. Significant adverse rental history may disqualify an applicant or require additional payment security, such as a cosigner or additional applicant deposit. Any prior legal actions associated with rental history may also disqualify an applicant.

If household income does not meet at least 3x the monthly rent amount, a guarantor or additional security deposit may be needed.

A credit bureau will be used to evaluate the applicant's credit history and ability to pay rent when due.

An applicant may be declined if their credit history indicates high risk.

A criminal background check is needed of all applicants. If criminal history is found, an individualized assessment of the applicant's criminal history will be conducted.
