If you have no prior verifiable rental history, you will be assessed an additional fee of 1 months deposit or asked to provide a qualified Co-signer.
Credit History*: Although our decision is not solely based on credit, credit history should show that the resident has paid bills on time and does not have a history of debt write-offs or collection accounts. Any money owed to a previous landlord or to any utility company is cause for denial. Residency may also be denied due to poor credit history.

Criminal History: Cision Property Management makes every effort to provide a safe and stable housing environment for its tenants. Our application process is transparent and thorough, and any applicant who is flagged with criminal history will undergo an additional level of screening to determine the amount of risk the applicant may pose to our property. This additional level of screening consists of twenty-six factors, including type, recency, and number of offenses, all of which are considered to make a fair and objective decision.
