- Some properties may have more stringent qualifying requirements – please call our office if you have a concern about something in your credit or rental history.
- Some properties prohibit more than two unrelated adults (roommates) – please call our office if this is a concern in your situation.
- All new leases will be assessed an administrative processing fee of $100 to help defray the costs in preparing and executing the necessary lease documents.

Weight limits and number of animals permitted is at the discretion of the property owner, therefore the information provided here is a rule of thumb only.
