Income requirements are 2.5x the monthly rent. Screening reviews bankruptcy history, prior evictions, and any outstanding balances owed to previous residences. A failed background check, poor credit history, or a high debt-to-income ratio may result in denial. Self-employed applicants verify income through last year's tax return and bank statements. First-time renters can be accepted if they pass the screening and background check — in some cases, an additional one month's deposit may be required.
