Application Requirements

Please note that I am not making a quick decision on an application.  I want to verify a few things first and require the following information:

1) Your current landlord’s name and telephone number;

2) Your current employer and your supervisor’s phone number.  If you have worked less than two years at your job, the name and phone number for your previous employer;

3) Your current income and three months of bank statements proving your income;

4) How you get paid – once a month, twice a month or weekly;

5) If you have teen-age children, the name of their school and permission from you to contact that school to check their behavior in school.

I have been misled several times since I bought these apartments.  I do not intend for that to happen again.

I do not want a tenant who lives paycheck to paycheck.  I expect a prospective tenant to have a bank balance that reflects the prospective tenant has money left over every month.

It will take me time to verify this information so do not expect an immediate response.  Do not apply if you have already moved from your current residence.

I will require one month’s rent as a deposit.  This will be returned to you when you vacate the premises.  General cleaning of the apartment will cost $500, which will be deducted from that deposit.  The cost to repair damages, aside from basic wear-and tear, will also be deducted from the deposit.

I am not entertaining tenants using the Kenner Housing Authority at this time.

The information provided above may be delivered in person or emailed (as attachments) to me as long as the attachments are discernable.

The tenant in Unit A serves as a manager of the property.  You will be given a list of the contractors I use to address plumbing, appliances and electrical problems.  He will decide if I need to be contacted on those matters.

You will certainly want to see the apartment, so I can meet you there to show it to you.  Having a completed application, with the information and documents described above, will lessen the time for me to render a decision.  If you cannot meet these requirements, then please do not waste your and my time applying.

If you can abide by these requirements, then please fill out and submit the application linked to this website.  I suggest you use a computer rather than a phone to fill out the application.  Then you can save the application under your name and email it to me. 

I already have two great tenants and would like the tenant in Unit B to be just as amicable as they are.  If that is OK, please go ahead with the application.
