Frequently Asked Questions
What does Individual Leasing mean?
How do I pay my rent and when is it due?
What if I need something repaired in my apartment?
What should I bring to my new apartment?
I am going to be a Guarantor for one of the applicants; will I have to pay the USD 43.50 fee as well?
Yes, they run a screening on every applicant, both guarantors and occupants. These are separate screenings for each person.
Does my daughter/son need to apply if I already put in an application for myself?
Yes, if they are 18 years of age or older. This allows us to run the screening required for approval on their lease.
I’m an international traveller, expat, or foreign student. Can I still be approved?
Yes, prospective renters with no US credit score are eligible for lease coverage. If you are an international student, you'll most likely need a Responsible Party to apply. A Responsible Party is a well-qualified associated guarantor that makes 3 times the monthly rent in total annual income. This individual does not need to be in the US, and their income and liquid assets do not need to be in US dollars.
The person I am guaranteeing for does not have credit. Do you still need to screen them?
To be fair, firm, and consistent they run the same screening on everyone the age of 18+ who applies to live at Central Plaza. If you are going to be an occupant or guarantor of one of our homes, they will run a screening that may include credit and rental background.
What are the minimum Guarantor requirements that Parkmerced would typically accept?
If you have a FICO score, the minimum score is 630, and if employed, the minimum total annual income accepted is 3 times the monthly rent. Your income can also include liquid assets. Please contact your leasing agent for more details.
