Dear Prospective Resident,
Thank you for your interest in being placed on the waitlist for this Southtown Apartments.
Please note the following regarding your application for the waitlist:
This application does not guarantee that you will receive a rental unit. This only places you on a waitlist for a call back. You will still need to be screened for credit, criminal, and rental history as well as meet required monthly income and annual income limits to qualify.
We will call you when we have a spot available, do not call to ask about your place in line.
It is your responsibility to ensure we have accurate contact information for you at all times. This means your current phone number as this is the method we use to contact you.
All applicants will be placed on the waitlist in chronological order, with exception of those identifying on the preference list.
- We will not send waitlist updates we will only contact you when an apartment becomes available matching your requirements.
- Length of time you will be on the waitlist will vary. The list changes as contact is made with people already on the waitlist.
- A waitlist will be closed when there are enough applicants.
- When a unit becomes available matching your requirements, contact will be made via phone. If the phone doesn't work or you changed your phone number you will be removed from the list. You will have 24 hours to respond.
- If you do not respond within 24 hours of the call or decline, you will be removed from the current waitlist.
- If you do respond and wish to rent the available unit you must begin the application paperwork process within 24 hours and pay the fee for the application per adult over 18 years old.
