Rent is due on the 1st of the month, every month. We offer recurring online payments that you can set up on the online portal by bank account which is free or a credit card which could incur a fee as well as one-time payments so you can have the freedom to pay however you would like month to month.
You can easily apply online through the property website. The system will create an online account for you, so once you become a resident, you will already have access to online payments and maintenance service requests. If you prefer a hard copy application, that is fine too! Please contact the Leasing Office to obtain a PDF of the application and Rental Criteria form or visit us in person. We will need a signed Rental Criteria form, completed application, copy of your photo ID, and proof of income. Next you will be contacted by Two Dots, a company we partner with who will verify your paystubs and identity. Upon approval, we collect a First Month’s Rent Deposit, which is applied to your first month’s rent. Applicants using a housing voucher follow a separate process and are not required to pay this deposit.
Application approval times can vary, but generally, you can expect a response within 48 to 72 hours after submitting all required documents. Delays may occur if additional information is needed.
Rent can be paid online through the resident portal with manual or automatic payments.
We perform a credit check through a rental risk assessment system, criminal background check as well as a sex offender check. All must meet our passing standards for approval.
After approval, we ask for all move-in costs to be paid within 72 hours in certified funds (bank check or money order). This cost will include your prorated first month's rent (you can move in any day of the month!), a key and lock fee, and prorated extra fees (such as pet fees) if applicable.
