Apply Online

To start your application, create an account. We will be able to save your progress and enable you to come back anytime to check on the status of your application.

Before you begin:

As you go through the application, you'll be asked for:

• Application fee (see below)


• Valid government-issued photo ID


• Proof of income (verifiable gross income must be at least 3x monthly rent)

You don't need all of this ready before you start — you can save your progress and come back.

Application Accuracy

Applications must be complete and accurate — incomplete applications won't be processed. If we discover omitted, misstated, or undisclosed negative information (before or after move-in), that's grounds for denial or termination of tenancy. All information must be legible and verifiable.

Management may approve or deny any application for any legal reason. Key factors we consider:

Age & Occupancy

• All lease holders must be 18+


• Every adult resident must submit an application and photo ID


• Occupancy limits by unit size:
  
  
  
  • Studio: 2 people
  
  
  • 1BR: 3 people (max 2 adults)
  
  
  • 2BR: 4 people (max 3 adults)
  
  
  • 3BR: 6 people (max 4 adults)
  
  
  
  


• Adult limits allow room for families with kids while minimizing noise/traffic issues from multiple adult roommates.

Income

Rent can't exceed 33% of verifiable gross monthly household income. Income must be verifiable, reliable, and predictable, with documentation of current employment/other income. Applications with unverifiable or insufficient income (under 3x rent) will be denied or asked to provide a qualified guarantor making at least 5x the rent, before taxes.

Credit

We check credit references. Adverse credit, high debt, unpaid housing debt (including utilities), or no credit history may result in denial. Bankruptcies within 5 years may also result in a denial, or a requirement for a qualified guarantor.

Criminal/Public Record

All adult residents must consent to a background check. Convictions or open/pending charges may result in denial — we weigh the offense's age, severity, and potential impact on resident and staff safety, the property, and local licensing/ordinance requirements.

Eviction History

We check for prior eviction filings; a history of these may result in denial if within the last 7 years.

Pets & Animals

Up to 2 domestic animals (cats/dogs) allowed with Management approval, plus a pet fee and pet rent.

PetScreening is required for all applicants. To help ensure a welcoming environment for all residents, we use a third-party screening service. Every applicant must complete one of: a pet profile, a "no pet" profile, or an assistance animal accommodation request. Need help completing a profile online? Contact your housing provider.

Applicant Conduct

This is a business relationship — we expect courtesy from both sides. We may decline to rent to anyone who is verbally abusive, threatening, intoxicated, or otherwise disruptive during the showing/application process.

Exceptions

We may make exceptions for first-time renters, borderline applicants, or those with incomplete/reasonable gaps in housing history — at Management's sole discretion. Exceptions typically require an advance rent payment, extra security deposit, or a qualifying guarantor. No exceptions for adverse housing history, unpaid balances to prior landlords, or criminal/public record issues.

Equal Opportunity

Yellow Tree Property Management is an equal opportunity housing provider and does not discriminate based on sex, race, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, marital status, religion, familial status, disability, affectional preference, or public assistance status. Reasonable accommodations are provided for persons with disabilities.

Application fee: $60.00 per adult applicant
