LAKEWOOD VILLAGE APARTMENTS
RENTAL GUIDELINES

A Federal or State Photo identification card is required to view an apartment.  Each adult who will live in the apartment must complete a rental application, be approved and sign the lease.  Our lease is for a term of 12 months if you are renting a one or two bedroom; for an efficiency apartment you can choose either a 6 or 12 month lease.

All applications must be filled out completely including all telephone numbers, dates of residence and zip codes.  We do not accept cash for rent or the deposit.  In processing each application we consider the following:

INCOME:  A minimum monthly NET income (after taxes) of 2 and a half times the monthly rent rate is required. Income must be verifiable either by the two most recent pay stubs, W2s or tax forms.

RENTAL HISTORY: Verification of a positive rental reference from current and previous Landlord is required if applicant is currently renting or has recently rented.  An eviction within seven years or any conviction that is housing related is grounds for denial.

CREDIT HISTORY: A satisfactory credit check is required.

CO-SIGNERS:  When a co-signer is needed, we require a completed application, photo ID and verification of the cosigner’s income.  A cosigner will only be considered if the applicant has a lack of work, credit or rental history.  A cosigner is not an option if the applicant has insufficient income or poor landlord or credit history.

As of June 1, 2008, we do not allow smoking (for new residents) in the apartments, common areas (hallways, laundry rooms, basements, etc.) or within 5 feet from the buildings.  There are no exceptions.

In the selection of applicants, management will not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, sex, sexual orientation, handicap, age, children, marital status, veteran history, familial status, public assistance recipients, and equal opportunity laws.
