Qualifying criteria for applicants
-Each person who plans to occupy the rental unit (age of 18 or over) must complete the entire online application and pay the $50.00 application fee. Please check the financial information section of the application carefully.

(subject to property availability) Please do not apply if you are not prepared to have the pre-payment automatically debited from your account or are ready to move. If that payment is declined by your bank for any reason, your application will be disqualified.

-When the debit has cleared your bank, we will contact you within 24 hours to give you the good news and arrange the details of your move. The pre-payment secures the property for you up to 14 days. The balance is due by EFT the day prior to move-in day. That balance will be your first month’s rent and security deposit less the $500.00 you have pre-paid.
