      4.  Qualifying to rent.

1. We utilize a scoring system based on the following: amount of monthly rent, credit score, income, job stability and rental history. Once this information has been entered into our computer program, it calculates a total score. If the calculated score is equal to 140 or higher, you qualify.
2. Credit reports with evictions will not be considered if the ’judgement’ has not been paid or satisfied.
3. Bankruptcy filed more than 24 months previous will not have an effect on your score. If bankruptcy is filed within the past 24 months; the score will be affected based on how long ago you filed.
4. If you do not qualify to rent a unit; you may be able to qualify by obtaining a co-signor. The co-signor must pass the same application and screening process that you must pass and they must own real estate. The fee for an individual co-signor is $35.00.
