Required Documents
- Recent pay stub(s)
- If starting a new job: a copy of your offer/acceptance letter

- Valid form of identification (e.g., driver’s license, passport, or state-issued ID)
If you’re unable to upload documents during the application process, you may send them via:

Application Processing Time
Please note that processing can take 3–6 business days in some cases. The most common causes of delays include:
- Employment Verification: Employers may be slow to respond to verification requests via phone, fax, or email.
- Rental Verification: Incomplete or inaccurate contact information can delay the process. Please provide full and correct details (name, phone, email, or fax).
Multiple Applications
We strive to ensure a fair process for all applicants. If multiple qualified applications are received, all will be presented to the property owner for a final decision.
