| We're excited that you are interested in making one of our communities home! Applying is easy, and you can access our online application portal a couple of ways. If you are working with an agent, they can send you a direct application invitation to apply for the specific home you are interested in. If you aren't working with an agent, or are just too excited to wait, you can visit the community's website and apply now directly from the website. |
| An application fee and deposit, in the form of earnest money, places the apartment on hold while we complete the screening process. The screening process verifies credit, rental, criminal history and household income. Once this is completed, the application will either be accepted, accepted with conditions, or denied. This process takes anywhere from just a couple of minutes up to five business days. An agent at the community will update you when the screening process is complete, with the outcome and next steps. |

Income to rent ratios may vary based on local or state requirements. For more information, please visit our rental criteria page.

The deposit is due at the time of application, and is paid electronically during the online application process. The amount of the deposit required may vary based on the community you are applying to and the screening outcome of your application. |

| The quick answer is sometimes. If a utility service is billed by the provider directly to the resident, in the resident's name, the resident is responsible for setting the utility up.
