Do I qualify to live in one of GCC’s homes?
This outline is meant to give prospects an idea of what may be considered. Each Premier property adjusts the guidelines slightly to account for differences in area populations. Submitting false information is grounds for immediate rejection.
(Section 42 housing uses different qualifying criteria. For that information see FAQ: What is Section 42 Housing)
Provide accurate and complete applicant information
Housing reference– we contact current & previous housing providers to confirm that each applicant is in good standing. A history of timely rental payments, abiding by lease policies/rules/regulations, respecting neighbors & the property, and landlords willing to re-rent or renew leases is considered good standing.
Credit Report– each applicant should have no:
Delinquent housing accounts
Rental judgements
Outstanding utility bills
Bankruptcy filings over the past 2 years
Less than $3,000 past due/ in collections for entire household
Medical bills and student loans are not considered
Income verification– This is required for all adult members residing in the unit. It may include but is not limited to: paychecks, child support, SSI, proof of recent similar rental payments. To determine if you possibly qualify the typical formula is: (gross income of all adult applicants) X 35% > Established Rent Amount.
NOTE: 35% used can actually range from 30-50% depending on the property.
Conviction Records Check– Criminal convictions and the National Sex Offender Registry are checked. To qualify each applicant should have:
No eviction in the last 5 years
No back rent owed to prior housing providers
No outstanding balances with prior housing providers related to damage to the property
No convictions that would be considered a danger to the property or neighbors
An eviction in process: the application will be held in abeyance until final court disposition
I’ve been evicted by a previous landlord. Can I still rent from GCC?
In order to qualify for residency in a PRE/3 apartment, no tenant may have any evictions on record in the last five years. If applicant is in the process of an eviction, the application will be held in abeyance until final court disposition. This policy may vary state by state depending on what the state permits.
What is Renter’s Insurance? Do I need it?
Renters Insurance protects a tenant’s belongings from any sort of loss, damage, or peril. While the owner of the building where you live carries insurance on his or her property, that insurance does not cover any tenant’s personal belongings. We recommend that every tenant carry Renter’s Insurance to protect himself and his property. For a great article on Renter’s Insurance click here: Renter’s Insurance
When do I get my security deposit back?
Security deposits are to be returned, or notice given as to why the full security deposit will not be returned, within 21-30 (depending on the state) days after a tenant moves out.
