Verifiable Income - Verifiable gross monthly income at least 3 times the monthly rent. For example, a rent of $500 would require a minimum of $1,500 gross monthly income.

Credit Check - We advise the client that a credit check will be conducted by the apartment community or management company representing the community.

Rental History - Any previous rental history will be verified and mortgage payments may be included as rental history. Additionally some communities are also conducting criminal background checks.
