  3. Self-employed applicants will be required to show proof of income through copies of the previous year’s tax return.
  4. If total gross monthly income does not equal 3 times the stated monthly rent then a last month’s rent will be required in addition to the first month’s rent and security deposit before move-in.
  5. If total gross monthly income is less than 2.5 times the rent then applicant must provide proof of savings or liquid investments equal to 12 times the monthly rent – otherwise the application will be denied.
  6. You will be denied if your source of income cannot be verified.

CREDIT HISTORY: The history must lack significant or repeated delinquencies or nonpayment.  Significant outstanding debt will require a last month’s rent in addition to the first month’s rent and security deposit.  The application will be denied if the report shows current accounts in collections.

CO-SIGNERS: No outside co-signers are permitted.  Only those individuals who will be permanently living on campus may sign a lease agreement.

RENTAL HISTORY: We rely on you to provide us with information so that we can easily contact past landlords.  Inability to verify rental history is grounds for denial.  Rental history is acceptable if it can be verified to be accurate, previous managers would rent to you again, rental payments were made on time, lease obligations have been fulfilled, damage to current and past apartments have been minimal, and security deposits have been returned.  Eviction judgments may result in denial.

BEHAVIOR AT PAST RESIDENCES: We look for proof that you were cooperative in remedying any complaints or problems and that there were no significant problems with trash removal, property damage, guests, noise, pets, or general sanitation.

CONVICTION RECORD: No applicant will be accepted for residence that has been placed on probation, paroled, released from incarceration or paid a fine within the past two years for offenses substantially related to housing, such as violence to persons, destruction of property, drug manufacture, delivery, or sale offense, or disturbance of neighbors
