Landlords use the following four criteria as primary qualifying tools to approve (or deny) an application:
Guaranteed income and assets
Good credit history
Residential history
Employment history
Based upon the information you have provided in the application, landlords will use the income requirement guidelines to determine if you can afford the apartment. They will look to make sure your prospect of continued employment is good so that they know you can continue to pay the rent. They will then use your credit history to determine if you are a good credit risk. Employment history will help them to determine your employment stability. And finally, your past residential history will assist them in determining if you have been a good tenant in the past. If all of these criteria are positive and they determine that all the information on your application is true, you will likely be approved.
