Screening is a process used by landlords to determine whether a prospective renter will be able to pay the rent and will not damage the property.
It typically includes a credit check, income verification, and rental verification. Our standard is that your monthly income of the primary applicant must equate to three times the monthly rent. For additional non-dependent applicants, 2x rent. Tenants must also have a clean rental history with no late payments or disturbances. Applicants are automatically denied if they have been evicted, have outstanding balances with previous landlords, have unpaid utility bills, or have excessive negative accounts.

Tenants must provide a 30-day written notice of intent to vacate. You may ask for a pre-move out inspection to verify the state of the unit. We will provide move-out cleaning instructions, and a move-out checklist to square with your move-in checklist. Based on that, we will assess cleaning fees and return your deposit minus costs of cleaning and / or damages.

You can submit a maintenance request by using the Resident Portal. Click on the “Submit Maintenance Request” link on the right side of the page. You will be prompted to provide your apartment number, the issue, and any other pertinent information. You can also call the office to submit a maintenance request. The office will then forward your request to the maintenance team and someone will be sent to your apartment to address the issue.
