How long is the lease term? Our lease terms are for one year. How can I apply for an apartment or townhome? Application forms are available in our brochure and on our website. The application includes a deposit agreement and landlord reference. By signing the application form you authorize us to verify your income, check your credit, and ask for references from other rental properties where you have lived during the last three years. How much does the application process cost? We need to receive a security deposit equal to one month's rent with your application form. If we accept your application but you change your mind within 48 hours of our acceptance, we will charge you a $50 processing fee and return the balance of your deposit. If you cancel more than 48 hours after we accept your application, we will keep your entire deposit. Finally, your first payment of rent will be due when you sign your lease. What do you accept as proof of income? We will accept your most current pay stub. We also accept tax forms, letters from your employer on company letterhead, and written job offers. Letters from your employer must specify your starting date and annual income, be signed by your supervisor, and provide your supervisor's telephone number. What if I do not meet the income requirement for a particular apartment or townhome? We allow someone to co-sign your lease. Your co-signer must meet our credit and income requirements and must live in the United States. Do you accept Section 8 applications? No, we do not participate in the Section 8 program.
