Welcome to Westminster Chase!

Before you complete rental application, we encourage you to review these requirements to determine if you are eligible. Each adult must complete an application: however, a married couple may submit one joint application.

1. We are an equal housing provider: We fully comply with the Federal Fair Housing Act. We do not discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin. We also comply with all state and local housing laws.

2. Apartment availability policy: Apartments become available when they ready to rent. A vacant apartment will not be deemed available until it has been cleaned, repainted and prepared for a new resident.

3. Occupancy guidelines: To prevent overcrowding and undue stress on plumbing and other building systems, we restrict the number of people who may reside in an apartment. In determining these restrictions, we adhere to all applicable fair-housing laws. We allow two persons per bedroom.

4. Application process: We evaluate every apartment application in the following manner. You must submit a rental application and answer all questions on the form. You must pay a $35.00 nonrefundable application fee. We will determine whether, from your responses to the application questions, you qualify for the apartment you are applying form. If you do not, we will reject your application. If you do, we will send your application to our screening company, which will check your credit report, criminal history, employment and rental references to confirm that they meet our rental criteria. If you meet our criteria, we will approve your application. This process takes one to two days. We will rent available apartments to applicants in the order that their applications are approved.

5. Rental Criteria. To qualify for an apartment at Westminster Chase, you must meet the following criteria:

a. Income. Your monthly income must be at least three times the monthly rent. You must be able to prove at least one year of employment immediately preceding the date of your application. If you have been a full-time student at any time within the past year, we will require you to have your lease guaranteed. If you are unemployed, you must provide proof of a source of income.

b. Rental History. You must have satisfactory rental references from at least one prior landlord or show proof of ownership. If you have ever been evicted or sued for any lease violation, we will reject your application.

c. Credit History. Your credit record must currently be satisfactory. If you credit history shows any unpaid debts, we will reject your application.

d. Criminal History. If you have ever been convicted of a felony, we will reject your application. If you have been convicted of a misdemeanor involving dishonesty or violence within the past five years, we will reject your application.

e. Guarantors. If you do not meet one or more of the above criteria, you may be able to qualify for an apartment if you can get a third party to guarantee your lease. The guarantor must pass the same application and screening process that you must pass, except that we will deduct the guarantor’s own housing costs before applying his or her income standard.

Any falsification of information on the application will automatically disqualify the application.
