Leasing Application Process

We encourage you to print and review both our "Application Requirements" and "Rental Application" prior to viewing an apartment. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view these documents.

J.B.J. Properties, as the designated agent of the Arbor Ridge Apartments, works to provide quality service and a pleasant environment for our residents. Therefore, we have established consistent screening procedures to evaluate the rental applications of each prospective resident before we rent. Each application is thoroughly reviewed and is evaluated based on the criteria listed below. We welcome applications from all persons who meet our application standards. The rental unit will be available to the first applicant who completes the application, provides identification as requested, submits the processing fee of $20.00 per applicant, submits the $100.00 application deposit and fulfills our screening criteria listed below.

Application Requirements

1. An applicant is any person who will live in the apartment or who will make or guarantee rent payments for the persons living in the apartment.

2. At least one applicant in each unit must be 55 years or age or older. No one under the age of 18 may reside in the unit. Proof of age is required with the application. Please enclose a copy of your Birth Certificate, Driver's License or Passport as verification of your age. Incomplete, unsigned, inaccurate or falsified applications will be rejected.

3. On the application we will ask you to list all legal sources of income that you want to be considered as part of your monthly income. Legal sources of income may include: Salary and Tips (from all current jobs), Social Security, Pensions, Alimony and Child Support, AFDC, General Assistance Payments made directly to you, Scholarships, Savings and Checking accounts, and Trust Funds.

4. Applicants must have at least one year of successful rent payment or ownership history. If you have no rental history a full security deposit which is the same as the rent is required at lease signing. Any negative past rental payment or behavior history is grounds for denial of the application. If you have been evicted from a previous apartment within the past five years your application will be rejected.

We check the following information for every applicant:
1.   Credit history with a decision based using a computer scoring model.

2.   Criminal background check with any decision based on arrest record or conviction record to be made in compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws.

3.   Amount of income. Applicants who are self-employed will be asked to submit the previous two years tax returns to verify amount of income.

4.   References from landlords for previous 3 years to determine an applicant's rent payment history and behavior.
