FAQs
What is the first step in the application process?
We’re glad you like what you see!! To get the process started simply click on the Online Application link at the top of the page and submit it now. We will contact you as soon as we receive it to answer more questions and/or set up an appointment. If you prefer you can print out the application and fax it to us at 608-784-0743.
What type of tenant screening is done after the application is received?
All applicants go through a screening process. This includes, but is not limited to, credit reports,criminal background checks, employment verifications and current and past landlord references. Please note that a lower credit report score does not mean you will not be accepted, since some accounts (i.e. bankruptcies and unpaid medical bills) are factored differently. All applications are treated confidentially and acceptance based on the same criteria. We will let you know as soon as possible (usually the same day) if your application has been accepted.
When and how do I pay my security deposit?
Once your application has been accepted we can proceed with signing the lease and payment of the security deposit. Please utilize our online Bill Pay on this website to secure the unit you have chosen as soon as possible. You can also mail a check to 2809 Lakeshore Dr., La Crosse, WI 54603, but please note that to hold a specific unit we must have signed lease documents and a full security deposit. You do not have to pay the first month’s rent until you move in.
What about pets?
Unfortunately, currently we do not accept pets.
