What if I have something on my background check?
Ensuring resident safety and protecting property are often considered to be among the fundamental responsibilities of a housing provider, therefore, a criminal records report will be run on every applicant. An individualized assessment of each applicant’s criminal history will be done at the time of the application. Our goal is to treat all applicants fairly and ensure they have equal opportunities for housing. We will be looking for convictions as they relate to harm/damage to property, people, or society. We will also look at the time since the conviction occurred and what the applicant has done since release (if you have a certificate of rehabilitation please provide that).
*Illegal manufacture or distribution of any controlled substance will be grounds for denial. Please contact us so that we can discuss the offense and what options you have to proceed with your application!
What if I have a low credit score?
We work with all situations. A low credit score doesn’t automatically mean you won’t be approved. Contact us to discuss your options!
