If a cosigner is required, the cosigner's gross monthly income must be at least eight times the monthly rent.

What income documentation do I need to provide?
Applicants must provide one month's worth of their most recent check stubs:
- Weekly pay: Four recent check stubs
- Biweekly pay: Two recent check stubs
- Monthly pay: One recent check stub
Documents must be complete, unaltered, and clearly show the applicant's name, employer, pay period, gross earnings, and applicable deductions.
Does every adult who will live in the property need to apply?
Yes. Each person over the age of 18 who will live at the property must submit their own application and complete the required screening process.
Can I apply without viewing the property first?
Yes, you may submit an application without viewing the property first. However, we strongly encourage applicants to review the listing details, photographs, rental qualifications, and available property information before applying.
Application fees are processed according to the terms stated in the property listing.
How do I schedule a showing?
Most of our available properties offer convenient self-guided tours, allowing you to visit the property at a time that works best for your schedule.
To request a tour, click the Contact Us button on the property's rental listing or call our office at 336-722-6133 .
Before providing access, we will ask you to send a clear photograph of the front of your valid government-issued photo ID. Once your identity has been verified, we will send you a showing link that allows you to select an available tour time that works best for you.
Please note: Self-guided tours are available for most, but not all, of our properties. If a property requires a different showing arrangement, our team will provide the appropriate instructions.
Are pets allowed?
Pet policies vary by property and are based on the property owner's requirements. Please review the individual rental listing to determine whether pets are permitted.

All applicants must complete the appropriate profile category: No Pet, Pet, or Assistance Animal.
