Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Do you accept Section 8 / housing vouchers?

  A: Yes. In accordance with HB20-1332, all homes managed by Alliance PM accept all sources of income. Please review our approval criteria before scheduling your showing.

• Q: Can you hold a place before I apply?

  A: Unfortunately, we do not hold properties. We rent to the best qualified applicant at the close of our application pool window.

• Q: Do I pay first month’s rent and last month’s rent with my security deposit?

  A: No. You will pay your first month’s rent (prorated if your lease starts any day other than the 1st) with your security deposit at lease signing.

• Q: How old do you have to be to apply?

  A: Everyone 18 and older must submit their own application.

• Q: Is the deposit refundable?

  A: Yes, your security deposit is refundable less any applicable move-out charges (unpaid rent, utilities, fees, damages - less normal wear and tear). Your security deposit is not a prepayment of rent, and cannot be used to skip your last month’s rent payment. Your security deposit will be processed and postmarked no more than 60 days from your lease ending date or when you return the keys to Alliance PM (whichever happens last).

• Q: Who needs a cosigner?

  A: Applicants who do not earn at least 3x rent may use a co-signer/guarantor to meet the income requirements. Co-signers/guarantors must show proof of income 4x the rental rate, plus have a credit score above 700. Co-signers are only used as a source of income . Applicants must still meet all other approval criteria on their own merit. View complete Approval Criteria on the Tenant Resource page of our website
