Applicants

BEFORE YOU BEGIN-

Please note that there is an application fee of $40 per adult (18 and older) which is due at the time of applying. An application is considered incomplete if the application fee is not paid by all adult applicants at the time of submission.

 

We take the safety and comfort of all of our Tenants very seriously. In using our screening

procedures to evaluate each prospective resident before approving anyone, we verify their

financial stability and criminal background history.

 

Upon receipt of the online application, the Landlord will secure background and credit information on the applicant(s) and consider the following factors:

Through TransUnion’s Smart Move, we receive what is called a Resident Score. The Resident Score incorporates various credit factors, along with other non-statistical information, to determine an Applicant’s overall rental worthiness. Some of the factors used include credit score, income relationships, rent-to-income and debt-to-income ratios based on calculations determined from the application and the credit record. Each factor is weighted in determining an applicants eligibility along with other factors such as criminal background checks, rental collections, employment verification, bankruptcies, utility collections, debt collections, evictions, tax liens and other credit judgments.

​

APPLICATION STANDARDS

1. WHO MUST APPLY: All individuals who will be residing in the unit must complete the

application process. The only information required of minors (age 0-17) will be their name, address, birth date, and social security number.

 

Each adult applicant (18 and older) must complete all designated areas of the application. If any information provided on the application is false or incomplete, the application will be denied.

2. INCOME REQUIREMENTS:

We require each adult applicant, unless married, to have a verifiable

monthly income at their current employer, minimum of six months with current employer, of at least two and a half (2.5) times the monthly rent or be able to show evidence of financial ability to pay the rental amount for the term of the lease from a verifiable lawful source. We will consider increases in expenses and debts compared to the prior twenty-four (24) month period when calculating the evidence of the actual ability to pay the rental amount. If you are self-employed, you must submit the most recent six (6) months of bank statements showing income along with the company’s most recent Federal Government Tax Return.

3. RENTAL HISTORY:

Applicants must have a successful rental history. If an applicant has been evicted from a previous apartment for non-payment of rent, behavior that includes disturbance, threatening other persons, damage to an apartment, or other reasons, the application will be rejected. We require a minimum of two (2) Landlord References over the past 5 years. This will be cross referenced with the addresses that appear on your background check.

4. CREDIT CHECK:  

Credit checks will be run on all adult applicants. Your credit score will be factored into our Resident Score that is automatically calculated by our software system, Smart Move. If your Resident Score is 585 or above, and all other required application information is within our guidelines, this will result in an approval. If the Resident Score rating is between 570 – 584 and you meet all of the other criteria, you will receive a Conditional Approval. If your Resident Score is below 570, this will result in a denial. Please note that a credit score is only one factor used in determining a Resident Score.

5. CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK: Criminal background checks will be run on all adult applicants (18 and older). Applicants will not be accepted for residency who have been convicted of certain crimes. For a complete list of our Tenant Selection Criteria, please contact our Property Manager.

6. OCCUPANCY: City Of Burlington Occupancy Guidelines
