Application:

Do you run credit and background checks?

Yes, SFM uses a company called Yardi Screening to check the credit history, rental history, and criminal background of applicants. Yardi Screening is a company that operates nationally and independently. They don’t have a specific credit score requirement, but they look out for things like recent evictions, bankruptcies, felonies, and unpaid debts to previous landlords. We also require applicants to provide proof of income that is at least three (3) times the rental rate per month. If you would like more details about qualifying for our affordable apartments in Downtown Dallas, you can request a copy of our current Resident Qualifying Criteria by contacting our Leasing Specialist at (844) 537-7936.

Are guarantors accepted?

Yes, SFM does allow qualified guarantors. A guarantor is someone who agrees to take responsibility for the rent if the primary tenant cannot pay. If someone wants to be a guarantor, they need to fill out a Resident Application and go through the same screening process as if they were going to live in the unit themselves. They also need to meet our resident qualification criteria. Additionally, guarantors need to have a monthly income that is at least five (5) times the rent amount, and this income must be verifiable. Once a guarantor is approved, they will need to fill out and sign a Lease Guaranty Agreement. This agreement states that the guarantor can be held responsible for fulfilling all of the lease obligations. This means they may have to cover the full cost of the rent and other expenses, like damages, even if there are other roommates listed on the lease.

Is my security deposit refundable?

Yes, your security deposit will be refunded back to you if the apartment in the same condition as when you moved in, except for any regular wear and tear. However, if there are any outstanding charges on your account, those will be deducted from the security deposit. The bills for water and sewer services come after the end of the month. So, when it’s time to return the security deposit, the amount needed to pay those bills will be deducted from it.
