If there is more than one adult living in the home then we will combine the monthly income for all adults that would reside in the home. For example, if the monthly rental rate is $500 than the gross monthly rental rate of the applicants must be at least $1,500.

Q: What if I do not have credit or have a very low credit score?

Guarantors are not considered for applicants that fail to meet income, rental history, employment or criminal background qualifications. Only one Guarantor per house is permissible. Guarantors may be relatives or an employer; friends may not serve as a Guarantor. The Guarantor must submit an application, pay the application fee and provide all necessary supporting documents. Guarantors must have a gross monthly income of 4 times the monthly market rent and meet all other screening criteria. The Guarantor will be required to sign the lease as Guarantor and a Guaranty of Lease which must be notarized. If Applicant that qualifies for a Guarantor but cannot secure a Guarantor, than a suitable option for this applicant would be to pay the lease in full at the time of lease signing.
