WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING
You and your roommate finally find that perfect apartment and
you are ready to submit your application. What kind of
information will you be expected to provide?
Most property management companies will need the following from
you:
* Name, address and telephone numbers of past and current
employers.
* Name, address, and telephone numbers of past and current
landlords usually up to 3 years but you may be required to back
further.
* A photo ID and/or drivers license
* Your social security card
Please note that if you are applying for a special program such
as in a "tax credit" property, then you will be required to
supply additional verification of employment and income.
HOW LONG DOES THE APPROVAL PROCESS TAKE AFTER I SUBMIT MY
APPLICATION
It generally takes 3-5 days but this varies widely. If you are
applying to a special program, it can take quite a bit longer.
HOW DO APARTMENT COMMUNITIES HANDLE CREDIT PROBLEMS?
Every property management company is different but if you have
had credit problems it is best to be up front about it. Provide
any documentation that you have as to how the problem came about
and how it is being resolved. If you have made arrangement to
pay back a creditor, bring letters and canceled checks to prove
it.
AN EVICTION OR UNPAID RENT SHOWS UP ON YOUR CREDIT REPORT
If a landlord finds out that you were evicted or left owing an
apartment community money, then it is virtually certain that
your application will be denied. Most property management
companies are very tough on that
