Application Review Guidelines

Category: Resident Services

Full Circle Property Management is an equal opportunity housing provider. We do not discriminate on account of race, sex, sexual orientation, color, age, familial status, marital status, religion, national origin, U.S. military veteran status, disability, gender identity, gender-related characteristics, or because a person is a recipient of public assistance, including Section 8 housing assistance.

We process applications on a first-come, first-serve basis – but rental applications must be fully completed, accurate, and timely – to be considered.

Each application that has been accurately and fully completed will undergo the same, routine review process, but incomplete applications and applications for rentals that are no longer available may not be reviewed.

If your application is reviewed and does not meet the approval guidelines, we will attempt to communicate the reason(s) for this decision to the applicant(s) within 10 business days.

We review completed applications for available rentals according to the following basic guidelines, but we review the entirety of an application before making an approval decision. Therefore, a lower credit score (such as below or near 650) may be offset by consistent and reliable recent income and adequate rental references. However, serious concerns in any one category (such as a very low credit score or a lack of verifiable recent income) may cause an applicant to not qualify regardless of strengths in other categories.

Can I get a cosigner if I have bad credit, low income, or a lack of recent housing history?

Category: Resident Services

Cosigners and guarantors are only available for current, recent, or soon-to-be full-time students who have not had the opportunity to establish credit, employment history and income, or rental history.

Adult applicants (who are not recent, current, or soon-to-be full-time students) will not qualify for a cosigner as a replacement for low credit, a replacement for inconsistent employment or inadequate income, or as a replacement for inadequate recent rental history.

Can I tour a listing that I’m interested in?

Can I use student loans as a source of income on my rental application?

Do you accept Section 8?

Category: Resident Services

Yes, we accept section 8, but we must ensure that the voucher limit does not exceed the rental amount. You should contact your case manager and attend a move-out meeting to find out your voucher limits. These are sometimes referred to as your “shopping numbers.” You would then provide this information on our rental application.

Do you charge an application fee?

Category: Resident Services

We do not charge an application fee, but a credit check fee is required to submit your application.

This fee is a direct, 3rd party cost of reviewing your credit and/or criminal history. We are unable to accept credit reports directly from rental applicants to ensure the integrity and thoroughness of our application review process, which includes both identity verification and review of criminal history.

The fee that we charge at the time of application is a temporary “hold” on your credit or debit card that will only be charged at the time that we process your application.

However, if you decide to withdraw your application, then you should immediately notify [email protected] because the credit check fee is non-refundable once we begin processing your application.

Is there a certain credit score applicants or cosigners need to qualify?

Category: Resident Services

Applicants/Lessees
Most of our approved applicant groups have credit scores that are 700 or above, and their gross incomes are approximately 2.5 times their apportionment of the monthly rent.

Co-signers/Guarantors
Most of our approved applicant groups have credit scores that are 750 or above, and their combined gross incomes are approximately 3 times the total rental amount.

However, we consider the entirety of an application when making an approval decision, so we encourage applicants to apply if their credit score is near these guidelines.

What is the difference between a video or virtual tour?

Category: Resident Services

Video tours are pre-recorded.

Group virtual tours are live events during which our property manager will be onsite at the rental. Applicants will connect to the property manager via either Facetime or GoogleMeet so that our property manager can live-stream video of the apartment to be viewed by the applicant remotely.

While not pre-recorded, the virtual tour is an opportunity for applicants to interact with our property manager and the property.
