When you make application for one of our rental properties at Dixon Preserve, we review your application for truthfulness, completeness, and qualifications. Qualifications are based on our Resident Selection Criteria. We do not approve applications on a “first-come-first-serve basis, but rather on the qualifications of all applicants. We rely on the background checks and personal information you provide to us in your application. If applicant claims that information contained in a background check is inaccurate, it is the applicant’s responsibility to correct information reflected in a background check. All adult applicants must pay submit a completed application and pay the non-refundable application fee.

If the applicant is in the military, applicant agrees to provide us with a copy of military identification. Applicant must provide us with a “selfie” so we can match identity with the application information.
HOA

Applicants must provide proof of employment and income in the form of employment records (e.g. paystubs) and must have a combined gross income of at least 2.5 times the monthly rent, unless the applicants are roommates, in which case we may require that each applicant qualify independently of the other applicants. We reserve the right to deny application to “roommate applicants”. If the applicant can pay rent in advance, we may consider this in determining qualification, and applicant must show proof and affirm willingness to pay advanced rent. Please note: letters of new employment from an employer may not necessarily be considered as proof of income.
