Processing: Applications are processed in the order in which they are received. Processing will normally be completed within 24 hours. This can be longer if a complication arises such as difficulties contacting your past landlords. We will review a credit and criminal background report, verify your employment or income, and check with any current and past landlords you have rented from. As a representative of the Owner of the property, we must act in their best interests and will choose the best application if more than one has applied. Our minimum screening procedure includes employment, income, credit check, and landlord references. It may require up to 2 business days to process your application.

     Section 8 Housing is accepted, unless otherwise noted in the description of the Current Rental Availability Listing.  Section 8 Housing does not assist tenants with the security deposit.  If you are on Section 8, the unit you choose must be inspected and approved before Housing will subsidize you.  Section 8 does not set the rent, we do.  We will not hold a unit while waiting for your case worker’s approval, and your security deposit will not be refunded if the unit is declined by housing.   We strongly recommend that you contact your case manager as soon as you choose a unit.
