Dear Prospective Resident, thank you for your interest in being placed on the Waitlist for Alma 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. 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 place 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 comes available matching your requirements, contact will be made via phone or email. If the phone doesn’t work or you have changed your phone number or email, you will be removed from the list. You will have 72 hours to respond.
- After 72 hours, the property hasn’t received confirmation of your intent to proceed, you will be removed from the list.
- If you do respond within the 72 hours of the call/email 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 72 hours and pay the fee for the application per adult over 18 years old.
- The application will be processed for the approval (or denial) for the credit, criminal & rental background. The paperwork for the affordable portion will take longer to be processed.
