In order to reside in our community, we require that each applicant must be between the ages of 18 years of age and 35 years of age and meet certain rental criteria. Before you complete our Rental Application, we suggest that you review these requirements to determine whether you meet them. Please note that the term “Applicant” provided below applies to all Residents to be identified on the Apartment Lease Contract and the person or persons to be responsible for paying rent. Please note that this is our current rental criteria; nothing contained in these requirements shall constitute a guarantee or representation by the property prior to these requirements going into effect. Our ability to verify whether these requirements have been met is limited to the information we receive from the various screening and credit reporting services used.
All prospective residents may be required to provide proof of the following standards to include, but not limited to:

1 person per bedroom, in light of the “special circumstances” of the property; namely, that it is student housing with shared living spaces rented on a “per bed” basis. Occupancy in an apartment at Stoneridge, Canterbury or 1414 Alder will be two persons per bedroom. Example, 2 bedroom apartments can accommodate 4 adults. However, apartments are furnished based on one person per bedroom. 1414 Alder is unfurnished.
