These standards are applied consistently to every applicant. The Residences at Newmarket is an Equal Housing Opportunity provider and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, disability, or any other class protected by law.
We review each application against the criteria below. An applicant who falls short in one area may still qualify for conditional approval — see below.
A complete application from every adult occupant (18+), a government photo ID, and Social Security number. Providing false or incomplete information is grounds for denial.
Verifiable gross household income of approximately 3× the monthly rent (2A ≈ $7,485/mo · 2B ≈ $7,785/mo · 2C ≈ $8,085/mo). Accepted proof: recent pay stubs, 3 months of bank statements, an offer letter, and/or a tax return (Form 1040 + Schedule C for self-employed). All lawful income sources are counted.
Credit and rental-risk score reviewed via TransUnion. Minimum credit score: 650. Significant unpaid collections, charge-offs, or housing-related judgments may result in denial or conditional approval.
Positive references from current and prior landlords; no prior eviction or lease violation for nonpayment or property damage.
Verifiable, stable employment or income source.
Criminal history is reviewed on an individualized basis (nature, severity, and recency of the offense as it relates to resident and property safety), consistent with fair-housing guidance. No blanket exclusions.
Occupancy consistent with applicable local standards. No-pets community; assistance animals under the Fair Housing Act are considered separately upon request and are not pets.
An applicant who falls short in one area may be approved with conditions — e.g., an additional security deposit (within NH legal limits) or a qualified guarantor / co-signer.
If an application is denied based in whole or part on a consumer or screening report, the applicant is provided the required adverse-action notice under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
