The general rule is two persons are allowed per bedroom, plus one bonus occupant per unit. Owner/Agent may adopt a more liberal occupancy standard based on factors such as size and configuration of the unit, size and configuration of the bedrooms, and whether any occupants will be infants.

Occupancy is based on the number of bedrooms in a unit. A bedroom is defined as a habitable room that is intended to be used primarily for sleeping purposes, contains at least 70 square feet, and is configured so as to take the need for a fire exit into account.

Credit scores will be evaluated by the following ranges: 499 and under is an automatic denial, 500-649 will require an additional security deposit or acceptable co-signer, 650+ will be approved unless the DTI ratio is deemed too high by Owner/Agent.

Negative credit reports may result in denial of Application. Negative reports include, but are not limited to: late payments, collections, judgments, total debt load, and pending bankruptcy (excluding nonpayment balances that accrued on or after April 1, 2020 and before March 1, 2022).

Monthly income should be at least two (2) times stated rent (excluding utilities), and must be from a verifiable, legal source. A combination of income and savings may be considered. If the combined gross monthly income of all applicant(s) does not meet at least two times the stated rent, the applicant(s) will be required to provide acceptable co-signers and/or pay an increased deposit, or otherwise will be denied.

Bankruptcies filed within the last three years from the date of application will result in denial. Owner/Agent will evaluate on a case-by-case basis if Applicant provides supporting documentation regarding special circumstances that resulted in the bankruptcy (ie: domestic violence, contracted COVID-19, etc).

Three years of eviction-free history is required (except for general eviction judgments entered on claims that arose on or after April 1, 2020 and before March 1, 2022).
