A history of late rental payments, violations of rental terms or property damages may result in the denial of an application or additional conditions for approval.
Although we strive to process all applications as quickly as possible, normal processing can take up to 2 business days depending on our volume. However, if your application is inaccurate, incomplete or if verification calls are not being returned, completion will be delayed, and your application may be rejected. If any other application(s) are received for the same unit while your application is in process and delays have occurred due to an incomplete application, we reserve the right to rent to other qualified parties. Approval or denial will not be made until all applications have been completed.
