Private tenant application and qualification portal
Apply directly, or start with a pre-screen — qualified applicants may move forward faster.
This portal is designed to help applicants review rental standards, understand document requirements, and choose the path that fits them best. Applicants may apply directly if they believe they meet the qualification standards, and we may still conduct pre-screen review before scheduling a showing.
Direct applications welcome
Applicants may apply directly if they believe they satisfy the qualification standards below.
Qualified showings only
Before any showing, income qualifications and valid photo ID must be verified for qualified applicants.
Fair and consistent review
All applications are reviewed using consistent criteria in accordance with applicable fair housing laws.
3×
Target income
Combined verifiable gross income generally at least three times monthly rent.
640+
Target credit
Good credit history is preferred, with 640+ as a general target in full review.
18+
Separate applications
Each adult occupant must submit separate application information.
How the process works
Applicants can either apply directly or submit a pre-screen first. Either way, qualified applicants may be asked to verify income and valid photo ID before an in-person showing is scheduled.
1
Choose your path
Applicants may either apply directly or begin with a pre-screen intake to confirm likely eligibility before moving forward.
2
Initial review
We review applications and submissions for completeness, basic qualification standards, and overall fit.
3
Verification before showing
Before scheduling a showing for qualified applicants, we may request a valid government-issued photo ID and proof of income.
4
Final screening and selection
Final review may include references, lawful background and credit checks, rental history, and additional supporting documents.
Important: Submission of a pre-screen or application does not guarantee approval, a showing, or lease offer.
Incomplete, inconsistent, or unverifiable information may delay review or result in denial.
Qualification standards
These standards are provided to help applicants understand the financial, credit, rental, and occupancy expectations that may apply during review.
Credit and rental history
- Good credit history preferred
- 640+ FICO is a general target in full review
- Good rental or mortgage payment history preferred
- No recent evictions or unlawful detainer judgment for possession, subject to law
Occupancy and property standards
- Renter’s insurance required
- No smoking on the premises
- One to two small pets may be allowed, subject to approval and insurance limits

Applicants who believe they qualify may apply now.
To help prevent fraud and reduce unnecessary showings, qualified applicants may still be asked to provide valid photo ID and income verification before an in-person showing is scheduled.

Frequently asked questions
These quick answers help applicants understand the updated process more easily.
Can I apply directly without completing the pre-screen first?
Yes. Applicants who believe they meet the qualification standards may apply directly. We may still request supporting information and conduct pre-screen review before scheduling a showing.
Will I be shown the property immediately after applying?
Not necessarily. Qualified applicants may first need to verify valid photo ID and income eligibility before an in-person showing is scheduled.
What if I prefer not to submit a full application yet?
You may use the pre-screen option first. That path may help determine likely eligibility before moving to a full application.
What income documents are typically requested?
Recent paystubs, proof of benefits, bank statements, and in some cases tax forms or additional records for self-employed applicants.
Is approval first come, first served?
No. Applications may be reviewed based on lawful qualification standards, completeness, and overall strength. Submission timing alone does not guarantee approval.
Ready to move forward?
Applicants who believe they meet the standards may apply now. Applicants who prefer a lighter first step may use the pre-screen intake instead.
