Credit History: While we don’t look at credit score as means for acceptance or denial, but we have found applicants with scores below 550 are commonly denied. Your application will be denied if your credit report shows any unpaid judgments to prior landlords, outstanding utility bills, or collections with little or no evidence of timely payments. Bankruptcies must have been closed for at least 1 year and there can be nothing past due since the bankruptcy. We may ask for proof of past due bills to be paid off in order to approve your application. We understand that there can be unusual circumstances and are happy to speak with you about your credit situation prior to applying.

Co-Signers: We do not accept co-signers, unless you are a student. A co-signer is treated as any other person living in the rental property.
