Application Requirements: All applications must be filled out completely and accurately. Incomplete applications may not be processed. False or inaccurate statements, or omissions, made on applications, including any discovered subsequent to a lease being signed, may be grounds for application denial or the termination of an existing lease. All application information must be legible. 


Identification : Each adult applicant over 18 years of age, including personal guarantors, must complete a separate application and provide a copy of valid government-issued photo identification.


Application Fee : A non-refundable fee of $55 per application is due before applications will be processed. Application processing typically takes 1-3 business days.


Lease Signing and Security Deposit: Approved applicants must sign their lease within 48 hours of receiving the document. A security deposit equal to one month's rent is due immediately upon lease signing. Failure to pay the required security deposit in full will result in the cancellation of the lease.


Fair Housing Statement : We are a fair housing provider. We do not discriminate against applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, disability, creed, marital status, ancestry or sexual orientation.


Occupancy Policy : The maximum number of occupants allowed in a studio apartment is two. The maximum number of occupants allowed in a one-bedroom apartment is three. The maximum number of occupants allowed in a two-bedroom apartment is four. Any person over one year of age is considered an occupant.

 

Criminal History : An applicant’s documented criminal history may be grounds for denial. Exceptions include: any arrest in an inactive case that did not result in conviction; participation in or completion of a diversion or a deferral of judgment program, including stays of adjudication and continuances for dismissal or without prosecution; any conviction that has been vacated or expunged, or for which the applicant received a stay of imposition of sentencing and complied with the terms of the stay; any conviction for a crime that is no longer illegal in the state of Minnesota; any conviction or any other determination or adjudication in the juvenile justice system; any conviction for misdemeanor offenses for which the dates of sentencing are older than three (3) years; any criminal conviction for felony offenses for which the dates of sentencing are older than seven (7) years - however, an applicant who has been convicted of the illegal manufacture or distribution of a controlled substance as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802) or for those same offenses that mandate denial of tenancy in federally assisted housing subject to federal regulations, including but not limited to when any member of the household is subject to a lifetime sex offender registration requirement under a state sex offender registration program, may still be denied ; or any criminal conviction for the following felony offenses for which the dates of sentencing are older than ten (10) years: first-degree assault (Minnesota Statutes section 609.221), first-degree arson (Minnesota Statutes section 609.561), or aggravated robbery.


Credit History : An applicant’s credit history that is directly relevant to the applicant’s fitness as a tenant may be grounds for denial, e.g. a negative documented history of rent payments, or collection accounts or judgements of money owed to current or previous landlords, owners or management companies. A numerical credit score or insufficient credit history alone will not be grounds for denial.


Rental History : An applicant’s documented negative rental history may be grounds for denial. Exceptions include an applicant’s record as a defendant in an eviction action pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 504B if the action: was dismissed or resulted in a judgment for the applicant before the applicant submits the application; was settled with no judgment or writ of recovery issued that was entered one (1) or more years before the applicant submits the application; resulted in a judgment against the applicant that was entered three (3) or more years before the applicant submits the application.


Income : Applicants’ documented monthly household income of less than 2.5 times the monthly rent amount may be grounds for denial. Applicants who do not meet the standard of 2.5 times the monthly rent amount in documented household income may be accepted with a qualified personal guarantor, also known as a co-signer. The documented monthly income of a personal guarantor must equal at least five (5) times the monthly rent amount.
