Locally owned, professionally managed · Equal Housing Opportunity
Our approach
We're a professional property management company that runs on urgency and follow-through. Maintenance gets handled fast. Calls and messages get answered. When service comes first, people don't look to leave — most of our residents are long-term, with no plans to move. That's the bar we hold ourselves to, and it's the kind of resident we're looking for.
How it works
The prescreen is free and tells you quickly whether it's a fit — no surprises, no wasted time.
Find an available rental that fits what you're looking for.
A short online form — about five minutes. It's free, and it tells you if you qualify.
We confirm income, references, and documents, and keep you posted at every step.
Approved? You'll get the formal application, lease, and your keys.
Rental criteria
We publish our standards and apply them the same way to every applicant, in keeping with the Fair Housing Act. No guesswork.
These are prescreen standards. A full credit, criminal, and eviction background check is run through our screening provider if you're invited to apply.
Housing vouchers welcome
A voucher is guaranteed rent — we treat it that way. The 3× income standard applies only to the portion you pay, never the assisted share, and lawful assistance income always counts. We know the RFTA paperwork, the inspection, and the housing-authority timeline, so approvals don't stall.
Start your prescreenHousing authorities cap your share of the rent at 40% of your income when you first move in. If a unit's rent would push your portion past that, the HA will say no even if we'd say yes — our prescreen checks this for you up front, so you only tour places that can actually be approved.
Be ready
Have these handy and the prescreen flies by. You can upload now or bring them later — uploads are reviewed for authenticity.
A driver's license or other government photo ID.
Or last year's tax return if you're self-employed or under a year at your job.
So we can verify your rental history.
For income and employment verification.
A couple of recent bank statements help confirm income, too — handy if you're self-employed. Using a voucher? Add your voucher or award letter and your caseworker's contact.

Questions
About five minutes, and it's free. You'll get a quick read on whether it's a fit before investing in a full application.
Every adult who will live in the home. List them all on the prescreen — each one completes their own application if you move forward.
Often, yes — just disclose them on the prescreen. Assistance animals are not considered pets and are handled separately; they're never charged a pet fee.
Yes — gladly. The income standard applies only to the portion of rent you pay after assistance, and assistance income always counts. Bring your voucher details (amount, bedroom size, housing authority, caseworker) to the prescreen and we'll also sanity-check the rent against your housing authority's affordability cap so you don't waste a tour on a unit that can't be approved.
The required criteria above — income below 3× the rent you'd pay, an eviction judgment in the last 3 years, or an unresolved balance owed to a previous landlord. Missed rent or collections usually mean a larger deposit or a guarantor rather than a no. A violent/sexual offense is reviewed individually, never as a blanket rule — and eviction cases that were dismissed, expunged, or that you won never count against you.
If it was more than 3 years ago, yes. Older judgments get an individualized review, and recent on-time rent plus a landlord reference we can verify carry real weight. Only an eviction judgment with a writ counts — never a filing alone.
The prescreen is free. The formal application and background check, run through our screening provider, may have a fee — we'll tell you before that step.
