Rental agents are not authorized to make decisions where an applicant fails to meet  each of the above criteria; such decisions will be made by the property manager  and/or the owner. In the event of multiple applications, the property will be rented  to the applicant(s) with the best overall income/credit/rental history and the  recommended number of occupants, who has/have paid the application fee and deposit to hold. We reserve the right to rent to the person(s) with the best credit history.

Note: the advertised security deposits are offered to those who meet the standards indicated above; we may request higher security where the applicant is either new on the job or has no credit history or has some bad credit. By law, the maximum security deposit can be equal to two months rent.

Properties are shown by appointments or prescheduled showing times with occupants.  Proper identification may be requested.
