HOW TO COMPLETE APPLICATION – MUST READ

COMPLETING AN APPLICATION DOES NOT GUARANTEE AN APARTMENT!

INCOMPLETE OR IMPROPERLY SUBMITTED APPLICATIONS OR THOSE SUBMITTED WITHOUT OTHER COMMUNICATION MAY EXPERICENCE PROCESSING DELAYS!

 

SECTION 1: APPLICATIONS DO NOT BEGIN THE LEASING PROCESS WITH 4 LAKES PROPERTIES. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN LIVING WITH US, CONTACT OUR OFFICE TO SCHEDULE A SHOWING OR SPEAK WITH US FURTHER.

 

SECTION 2: INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS

For international applicants, if you do not have a SSN or ITIN number at this time, please fill in "999-99-9999" in the 'Social Security Number (or ITIN)' field. Then provide your passport number in the 'Government Issued ID' field.

 

SECTION 3: APPARTMENT ADDRESS

The application will list the address you are applying to as 1020 Regent St, which is our office address. There is a section in the Questionaire section of the application which allows you to specify which apartment you are applying for. Please complete this question. If you are not applying for a specific address, then please be as detailed as possible (i.e. Randall Station - 2 bedroom - Floor Plan A; 1309-1311 W Dayton - 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom). Failure to complete the question or specify which style of apartment may result in application processing delays.

 

SECTION 4: ARE YOU APPLYING WITH MORE THAN 1 PERSON?

If yes, read below. If no, continue onto Section 5/6.

For those applying with more than 1 person, each adult living in the apartment must also fill out an application and qualify to live with 4 Lakes.

To help us expedite the application process and make sure that your applications are grouped together, please list these individuals as co-applicants in the 'Household Information' section of your application. You will need to provide their legal first & last name, email address, and phone number. DO NOT PUT ANYONE WHO WILL BE YOUR COSIGNER/GUARANTOR AS CO-APPLICANT/OCCUPANT. See SECTION 6 for cosigner/guarantor information.

If you do not know your co-applicants' contact information at time of application, you will be provided a shareable link once you have finished and submitted your application. Please make sure you save this link and share it with your co-applicants.

We do not consider groups of applications complete until everyone who will be living in the apartment has submitted an application. Delays in processing applications may happen if every adult living in the apartment does not timely complete their application.

 

SECTION 5: APPLYING WITHOUT A COSIGNER/GUARANTOR

To apply without a cosigner/guarantor, you must meet the following conditions:

1. 24 months of verifiable rental history in the US as of the date of your application (student dorm housing does not qualify as rental history).
2. Satisfactory credit history.

If you are hoping to qualify without a cosigner/guarantor, please ensure that the following steps are completed in your application:

1. Under the 'Addresses & References' section, you must be prepared to provide a residential history totaling 24 months.  Add as many previous addresses as needed to show 24 months.  You will need to provide contact information and date of residency for your rental history. Residential history provided without dates and previous landlord contact information will not be considered.
2. Complete all other sections as requested. For our downtown/campus area apartments, we do not consider employment/income as a factor to qualify without a cosigner/guarantor. If you do not want to provide employer information, you can answer that you are not employed.
3. You will need to upload a picture of a current student ID/government issued ID under the 'Attach documents' section.

 

SECTION 6: APPLYING WITH A COSIGNER/GUARANTOR

Cosigners are required for each person on the lease who does meet the requirements in SECTION 5. 

Cosigners/guarantors should not fill out our online application. Do not put anyone who will be your cosigner/guarantor as co-applicant/occupant on your application as this will send them an online application.

If you require a cosigner/guarantor, the office will provide you with our required cosigner/guarantor form after a lease is signed. These documents must be signed by a qualified cosigner/guarantor and returned to us within two (2) weeks of the date the lease was signed.

If you are applying knowing that you will need a cosigner/guarantor, please ensure that the following steps are completed in your application:

1. Under the 'Addresses & References' section, input your permanent address and select that you own the property. You are welcome to input your current address as well but your rental history is not considered unless it totals 24 months at time of application.
2. Under the 'Income' section, select that you are not employed.
3. Complete all other sections as requested.
4. You will need to upload a picture of a current student ID/government issued ID under the 'Attach documents' section.
