    Applications may be submitted online or in person at our office. All applications require a non-refundable application fee which covers the price to run the background and credit check.


    Application fees are as follows:

  • Do you accept applicants with prior evictions?

    Applicants with prior evictions are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. In many cases, applicants may be considered if the eviction balance has been paid in full.
