If I have bad credit, can I still be considered for a property?
When we screen our tenants, we look for those who have a history of paying their bills on time and can afford the rent payments taking into consideration income and all of their other debts. A credit report will be run to determine this for each applicant.
If I am not working, can I still be considered for a property?
Tenants must have a reliable source of income. Employment verification will be done for applicants who are employed.
If not, then valid proof of other income must be given (Social Security, Disability, Support etc.)
How do I know if I can afford the rent?
Monthly Rent should be no more than 1/4 - 1/3 of your total monthly take home pay.
If Rent is $750/month, then monthly net pay should be between $2250 - $3000
This is a rough estimate. Other considerations should be monthly costs for food, utilities, transportation, and other necessities.
What utilities will I be responsible for and how much should I budget for these monthly costs?
Utilities to consider are Gas, Electric, Water/Sewer, and Trash.
All utilities are the responsibility of the tenant EXCEPT Chestnut Street Duplex water is included in rent.
