Background Check

As part of the move-in costs, the application fee enables a background check which processes the following in priority order.

1.	Evictions & Rental History	Very High
2.	Criminal	High
3.	Income	Medium
4.	Credit	Low

As a general rule, recent evictions and poor rental history will be difficult to place. Criminal is second priority and is still high but can be fine if assessed on a case-by-case basis mostly relying on how recent, nature of crime and frequency. Third is income and usually should be at least 3 times the rent at a minimum. Credit is last and rarely prevents placement unless there are very large debts that must be paid.
