Applying
How much does it cost to apply?
Every adult pays an application fee, and each home pays an admin fee. The amounts are in the fee table, and any special running now is shown on the floor plans page.
What do I need to qualify?
Household gross income of at least 2.7 times the monthly rent, and at least 6 consecutive months of rental or mortgage history a third party can verify (living with family doesn't count). Screening uses a rental score that results in an approval, an approval with conditions such as a higher deposit or a co-signer, or a decline. Read the full qualifying criteria (PDF).
What documents do I need?
A photo ID and proof of income, such as a month of recent pay stubs or an offer letter. Requested documents are due within 48 hours.
How long does approval take?
24 to 72 hours once your documents are in. After approval, you sign the lease within 3 days.
Can I use a co-signer?
Yes, one guarantor per home. They apply too, and need income of 5 times the rent, at least 75% positive credit and positive rental history.
How many people can live in each home?
Up to 3 in a one-bedroom, 5 in a two-bedroom and 7 in the three-bedroom.
How do I apply?
Online, through the Woodhollow application. Every adult 18 or older who will live in the home fills out their own.
Leases and moving in
How long are leases?
12 to 18 months. Short-term leases of 6 to 11 months carry a short-term lease fee. Nothing under 6 months, except furnished homes: a 3-month minimum stay on a 6-month lease, with a 30-day notice clause once 2 months are complete. Ask the office which lengths are open for your move-in date.
What's the security deposit?
Security deposit: $250, one time. 1 bedroom $250, 2 bedroom $350, 3 bedroom $400, and it can vary with credit and rental history. Due after approval, and kept if you cancel after approval. Every cost is in the fee table.
Do I need renters insurance?
You need personal liability coverage of at least $100,000. Your own renters policy with that coverage is enough; otherwise you join the property's liability waiver. Liability waiver: $12 a month, optional. Optional with your own renters policy carrying the same $100,000 liability coverage.
Is Woodhollow smoke-free?
No, it isn't a smoke-free community.
Pets
Which pets are allowed?

What does the pet application need?
Current shot records and a photo, through PetScreening. Every applicant fills out a profile there, with or without a pet.
What about assistance animals?
Submit the documents through PetScreening for review. Assistance animals aren't pets, so pet fees don't apply. Accommodation requests go to the property manager.
