Application

To assist you with your decision on your new home, we are providing a list of guidelines used to qualify applicants for residency at Blanton Commons Apartments. Nothing contained in these requirements shall constitute representation by Blanton Commons Apartments that all residents and occupants currently residing in our community have met or currently meet these guidelines. All lease holding residents must meet our qualification standards as outlined below. Subject to their compliance with applicable laws, qualification standards include, but are not limited to, the criteria below.
Income
All lease holding applicants must have a verifiable source of income in an amount in accordance with current community guidelines and indication of applicant’s continued prospects for this income. Rent to income ratio cannot exceed 33%. Debt to income ratio cannot exceed 60%. For purposes of financial eligibility pursuant to the minimum financial qualifications for housing, one head of household must meet the income requirements, unless married. Documents needed: Pay stubs from the last two months, or original tax returns for the last 2 years, with attached W-2 forms. Self-employed must provide original form of Annual Tax Return form 1040 for the last 2 years, 1099 forms, or last 2 months of pay stubs.
CREDIT HISTORY
Our screening provider evaluates credit history against indicators of future rent payment performance. An unsatisfactory or insufficient finding may result in denial. Applicants are responsible for ensuring their credit history is accurate.
IDENTIFICATION
Applicants must present a valid United States government issued photo identification card for each person age 18 years and older that will be living in the apartment.
GUARANTOR – COSIGNER
We do not accept guarantors or co-signers. For purposes of financial eligibility pursuant to the minimum financial qualifications for housing, income of joint applicants can be combined.
CRIMINAL HISTORY
Our investigation includes criminal background screening. It is possible your application may be denied due to criminal convictions. We conduct criminal background screening on leaseholders and occupants over the age of 18.
PETS
We are committed to keeping the grounds and your individual homes up to the standards you have come to expect and enjoy. As a pet owner (or future pet owner), you know that all animals require special care and supervision; they can do costly damage to your home. We need your help!
- Only two pets are allowed per household. There are no exceptions to this rule.
- Only cats and dogs, which weigh less than 75 pounds at their full adult weight,
are allowed in the apartment. No puppies or kittens are allowed. Dogs must be
fully grown and have attained their full adult weight before being accepted to
live in the resident’s apartment. There are several breeds of dogs that are
absolutely prohibited, no matter how docile you may consider your pet. These
include, but are not limited to, Pit Bull-Type, Rottweiler, German Shepherd,
Husky-Type (including Siberian breeds), Malamute, Doberman Pinscher, Chow
Chow, Wolf-Dog Hybrid. - All pets must be spayed or neutered and evidence must be presented to the
property manager. - Every pet must be registered with both the property manager’s office and local
authorities. You will be required to sign a Pet Agreement, show the animal to the
property manager, and provide evidence of their vaccinations (worms, rabies,
etc.) and registration tags. The property manager will approve pets on a case-bycase
basis, regardless of breed. - There is a non-refundable pet fee of $300 per pet and the monthly pet rent is
$45 per pet. - Pets must be leashed and always be with a member of the household at any time
outside of the home. You may not tie the pet up to a tree, your car, or any other
object. You are ultimately responsible for your dog or cat’s behavior. Aggressive
or noisy animals will not be tolerated and you will be asked to remove the
animal from the property. It is unfair to your neighbors. - You must clean up after your dog and dispose of the “mess” in the trash. While
this is an unpleasant task, it is even more unpleasant when someone steps in the
mess. It is unfair and unhealthy to other tenants to have dog droppings around
the property. - The property manager reserves the right to require you to remove your pet,
immediately, without cause, without recourse, and without returning your pet
rent. - Visitor pets are not permitted.
