APPLICATION SELECTION CRITERIA

Applicants understand that more than one application may be received on a property. Our practice is to process the first completed application, including all required documents, with the earliest/best move-in date. The property will remain on the market during the application process. If an application is incomplete the next application will be reviewed and, if complete, will be processed.
