Applications are processed on a first come, first served basis. If you wish to apply for a property which has applications pending, you will be placed in a backup position. Back up applications can be submitted with all of the supporting documentation. You will not be asked for an application fee until your application is ready to process. Please be prepared to bring in your application fee if and when your application is in the number one position. We will expect the application fee to be paid within 24 hours of notification or sooner.

If your application is accepted, you will have 24 hours to bring in your holding deposit. If you fail to bring in the funds in this time frame, the next applicant will be contacted. This is to ensure that we can get the applications processed in a timely manner. We prefer to collect your holding deposit immediately once you have been approved.

Holding deposits will be used to “hold” the unit up to two weeks after your application is approved. The holding deposit is a binding agreement. Once we receive your Holding deposit and a signed holding deposit agreement, the property will not be marketed or shown. Holding deposits will be accepted in the form of cashier’s check or money order only. No personal checks can be accepted for move in funds.
