- Each adult applicant, 18 or older, must submit an application.
- Demeanor, attitude, and behavior throughout the entire application process will be considered.

Rental History:
- Must provide rental history for 2 years or more that must be verifiable from unbiased/unrelated sources, and a formal rental agreement is necessary to constitute as a reference.
- Applicants must provide us with the information necessary to contact past landlords. We reserve the right to deny an application if, after making a good faith effort, we are unable to verify prior rental history.
