Based on its evaluation of your consumer credit report and any other relevant criteria, RealPage Inc. sends a recommendation regarding your application.

Criminal Background: A criminal background check will be conducted for each applicant. The application or occupancy of any person may be denied at any time based on their criminal history, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Any felony or misdemeanor convictions for any charges related to: terrorism, crimes involving possession, manufacture, or delivery of any controlled substance, marijuana, drug paraphernalia, weapons, fraud or financial crimes, prostitution, sex, animal cruelty, OR crimes held against persons or property, will result in denial of application.  "Conviction" includes but is not limited to a deferred judgment; a withheld adjudication; a plea of nolo contendre; a guilty plea; or a plea bargain to any lesser charge, including to a misdemeanor.  Criminal convictions older than ten (10) years will not automatically result in a denial provided that no further convictions have occurred.

Rental Requirements: A current residence and at least twelve (12) months verifiable resident history will be required. A positive record of prompt monthly payment, sufficient notice given, and no damages is expected. Renting from a relative is not considered rental history; as a contract performance cannot be determined. Home mortgages can substitute for rental history. If there is no rental history, application may be approved with an additional security deposit. Any evictions or rental collections will automatically result in denial of the application.

Credit Requirements: Information about you and your credit experiences, such as your bill-paying history, the number and type of accounts that you have, late payments, collection actions, outstanding debt, and the age of your accounts is collected from your credit report. Unsatisfactory credit history can disqualify an applicant from renting an apartment home at this community. An unsatisfactory credit report is one that reflects past or current bad debts, late payments or unpaid bills, liens, judgments or bankruptcies. Your Beacon Score is not the majority or sole contributing factor in determining creditworthiness; however, an average Beacon Score of 600 or below may result in your application being denied. If no credit history has been established, you may be approved with an increased deposit. If the credit report shows all negative accounts and no score can be established, your application will be denied.
