For your convenience, we have prepared this checklist to assist you with our rental process and rental policies at Heath Properties. Please refer to our Rental Forms page for more information and rental forms.

Make an appointment with a member of our team or your own real estate agent to view the apartment you are interested in leasing. Decide if the apartment suits your needs.

Submit your completed rental application package. Original, signed forms only; copies will not be accepted. The application package consists of the following:

Completed rental applications by all applicants.

Guaranty of Lease Forms (if applicable) for each applicant.

1. Applicants are required to have a qualified guarantor cosign the lease if they are a student, if they are not financially qualified to rent the apartment on their own or if they have a poor credit history. The term Students includes but is not limited to: undergraduate, graduate, medical, post doctorate, law and dental students.
