Once you find a property that catches your eye, we recommend taking a drive through the neighborhood both during the day and at night. This will help you assess the area and ensure you feel comfortable and safe in your new surroundings.

2. Find Out If You Meet the Criteria

Income Requirements: Gross household income (before taxes) must exceed three times the monthly rent. For applicants receiving government rent subsidies, the income-to-rent ratio will be calculated based on the tenant’s portion of the rent.
Credit Score Criteria: Each applicant aged 18 or older must have a credit score of at least 650. If you lack a credit history, a cosigner may be accepted.
Alternative Payment Evidence: Applicants with government rent subsidies can either provide their credit history or submit alternative documentation demonstrating their ability to pay their share of the rent.
Legal and Financial History: Applicants must have no legal evictions or housing judgments within the past seven years.
Individuals currently undergoing bankruptcy proceedings are not eligible.
