How to Apply for a Rental Home

We want to help you save time and apply confidently.

Before submitting an application, please review all requirements and confirm that the home fits your desired move-in date, budget, and pet policy (if applicable).

Once you’re ready, complete the online application and upload the necessary documents. Each adult 18 and older must apply separately.

We evaluate every application with care and fairness. To ensure a smooth process, please review the following guidelines:

Acceptable income verification may include:

Retirement, disability, or other consistent income sources

Pay stubs

W-2s

Credit & Background Screening

A credit report will be obtained for each applicant.

History of late payments, collections, or recent bankruptcies may affect approval.

Background screening includes criminal history, prior evictions, and rental-payment performance.

Rental History

We verify previous landlord references when applicable.

Positive verifiable rental history may strengthen an application.
