What if I need help to qualify? Will you allow me to have someone co-sign?

Some properties will accept a co-signer if you lack either credit or rental references. If that is the case we will accept a co-signer that has verifiable income sufficient to qualify for both their living situation and for the property they are co-signing, and the co-signer must have a greater than 649 credit score. The co-signer must fully complete our application and pay the application fee, which is non-refundable.   NOTE: If the Co-Signer will be assisting with rent payments, we will request they provide a statement (which can be texted or emailed or mailed) that identifies the amount you will be giving to the Tenant each month to assist with rent.
