After you have either taken a look at our active listings or viewed a property, the first step is contacting the leasing office and letting them know you’d like to apply. In that time, you should also begin to prepare all the necessary documentation you need in order to fill out an application.

Once you have seen the property that you wish to apply for, we require a completed application (our leasing agent can assist you in filling it out correctly), photo ID, letter of employment, recent pay stubs, and a deposit for the last months rent.  Everyone over the age of 18 must fill out the application and provide documents.  Once we have received all necessary documents, the verification process typically takes between 5-10 business days.

Yes, if you have bad credit you can still apply for our properties.  You can speak to a leasing representative for more information.

Our Home Investment Program is an incentive program for tenants who might be looking to purchase a brand new Daniels property in the future.  Every month you rent with us you accumulate $200, up to a max. of $10,000, to put towards the purchase of a new Daniels home.  It is not the same as a rent-to-own program, as you cannot purchase the townhome/suite that you are living in, as it is a rental property.

No, you would not get money back as we are not adding money onto your monthly rent.  Think of it as theoretical money: if you purchase a new Daniels home, we will minus the HIP Dollars you have accumulated off the total purchase price.
