What are the rental qualifications?

Our general rental qualifications can be found here.

Do you accept vouchers?

We do accept vouchers, however applicants would need to meet all of the rental criteria independently of their voucher.

Do you do a background check?

Yes. A background and credit check are required.

Do you accept applicants with prior evictions?

Applicants with prior evictions may still be eligible, depending on how much time has passed, whether the balance has been fully paid, and the strength of their verifiable rental history since the eviction.

What could disqualify my application?

  • Fraudulent or incomplete application information

  • Felony or certain misdemeanor criminal convictions

  • History of evictions or unpaid rent-related collections

  • Unsatisfactory credit or rental history

  • Hostile or discourteous behavior during the leasing process

Do you allow co-signers or guarantors?

We do not take co-signers or guarantors.  Only resident leaseholders. 

What is the income requirement?

Applicants must jointly make at least 3 times the monthly rent in order to qualify.

What if I’m self-employed, retired, a 1099 employee, or don’t receive paystubs?

There are several ways to verify you meet our income requirements. Contact our leasing office and speak to a leasing specialist who can assist you based on your specific circumstances.

My spouse/roommate doesn’t qualify but I do. Can we just list them as an occupant on the lease?

All adults living in the townhome must be listed on the lease and meet our rental criteria. 

When is rent due?

Rent is due on or before the 1st of each month. Any rent received on or after the 4th of the month is subject to late fees.

How do I pay rent?

Rent can be paid online through the Resident Portal via e-check (free) or credit/debit card (processing fees apply). E-Money Order payments can also be made at many retailers, such as Wal-Mart. You can also pay by personal check or money order sent via USPS, although the payment would need to arrive prior to the due date. We do not accept cash.

Do I need renter’s insurance?

We require that all tenants carry personal liability renter's insurance. Residents may also opt for personal property protection to cover their personal property in the event of fire, flood or other loss issues. The policies are fairly inexpensive and worth the small investment. We have partnered with Homebody for pre-approved low cost insurance, though you may use any insurance company you choose.

How do I get a copy of my lease?

You can download a copy of your lease in the Resident Portal.

Can I renew my lease? Will the rent change?

Absolutely — we love when our residents choose to stay! You’ll receive a renewal offer prior to your lease end date. Rent amounts may be subject to market conditions at the time of renewal.

Can I sublet or add a temporary roommate?

We do not allow subleasing. Any adult residing in the townhome must go through the application and screening process and be added to the lease agreement.

How do I add/remove another person to my lease agreement?

To add or remove a person to your lease agreement, the unit will need to be re-qualified to ensure that rent will be paid. Please note that new additions to lease agreements may need to formally apply and complete a screening and background check. If we are unable to re-qualify the unit, we may not be able to make any changes to the lease.

What if I need to move before the end of my lease?

Life happens, and we understand plans can change. If you need to end your lease early, contact our office to review your lease terms — you may be subject to a lease-break fee or additional charges, depending on the terms of your lease.

Can I transfer to another townhome on site?

If you need to transfer to another townhome, either because you need more space or less space – or just need something different, we can help you. Contact a leasing specialist for current availability and to review our transfer policy.

What is the move-out process like? Do you provide a cleaning checklist?

Yes, we’ll provide a detailed move-out checklist to help ensure your townhome is left in good condition. This helps avoid any deductions from your security deposit. Contact the office when you're preparing to move out and we’ll guide you through the process.

Is there a Resident Portal? What can I do there?

Yes! Our Resident Portal makes managing your home easy. You can pay rent, submit service requests, update your contact information, view lease documents, and even connect with neighbors or receive community updates — all in one place.

How do I submit a maintenance request?
