Before you apply to rent this property, please take time to review these rental criteria to determine if you are eligible. The term “applicant(s)” under these criteria means the other person(s) who will be signing the lease as “resident”; the term “Occupant” in these criteria means the other person(s) authorized to be occupants under the Lease. Together with the Rental Application these criteria will govern your application. Any person 18 years or older will be required to complete and sign an application and sign the lease as a “resident” as well as pay an application fee.

Fees: Once applicant is approved they must submit an application hold fee within 24-48 hours of approval in the amount equal to $50 less than the rental amount. Once tenant has signed the lease agreement with APT, these funds will become the security deposit for your tenancy. If applicant fails to sign lease within 24-48 hrs after application hold fee is submitted APT can go back to market with the property and applicant loses their application hold fee.  

Occupancy Guidelines:    No more than two (2) persons (residents or occupants) may occupy any bedroom.
