Qualifications and Screening Criteria

In order to assist you with your decision on your new home, we are providing this list of the requirements we use to qualify applicants for residency in this community. Nothing contained in these requirements shall constitute a representation that all residents and occupants currently residing in our community have met or currently meet these guidelines. The types of information to be accessed: Identification, credit, public records, criminal and rental history, residency address information, employment and income verification. Additional verification may be required. Each person age 18 or older who will live in the apartment home must submit an application and satisfy these requirements. The criteria which may result in a denial (includes but is not limited to): Zero income or income lower than (2.5) times the rental rate, unsatisfactory credit, criminal, or rental history findings, exceeding the maximum number of occupants per apartment home, restricted pets, inability to meet conditional requirements of application results, providing misleading or inaccurate information, and adverse, subpar, or unverified information. Subject to applicable laws, our requirements include, but are not limited to, the following criteria:

IDENTIFICATION. Applicants must present a valid government issued photo identification card for each person age 18 or older.

INCOME. 50% or more of the applicants must individually, unless married, have verifiable income in an amount not less than 2.5 times the rental rate. All screening subject to the limitations set forth in RCW 59.18.255.

CREDIT HISTORY. We obtain a credit report on each applicant. Our credit reporting agency evaluates credit (which may include rent payment history) as an indicator of future rent payment performance. An unsatisfactory or insufficient finding will result in the requirement of a guarantor or denial. Applicants are responsible for ensuring their credit history is accurate.

COMPREHENSIVE REUSABLE TENANT SCREENING REPORTS. This community does not accept comprehensive reusable tenant screening reports. Upon submission of the completed rental application and Resident Qualification Acknowledgment, a credit evaluation will be conducted using one of the consumer reporting agencies provided on this document.

GUARANTORS. Guarantors are required for 50%, or more, of the applicants that are conditionally accepted. Guarantors must reside and have a physical address in the United States. Guarantors are subject to the same qualification requirements as tenant applicants.


RENTAL HISTORY. Applicants must provide satisfactory rental or homeownership history within the last 12 months. If applicant has no rental or homeownership history within the last 12 months, a guarantor will be required. If rental history is unsatisfactory, applicant will be denied.

CRIMINAL HISTORY. We obtain a criminal background check on each applicant who will reside in the apartment home. It is possible your application will be denied due to criminal convictions, depending on the nature and severity of the offense and the time passed since the conviction. We will perform an individualized assessment of any applicant with a history of criminal convictions, and will offer that applicant the opportunity to provide additional mitigating information before a final decision is made.
