Generally, there are three areas for qualification: income, background, and credit check. Due to a large student tenant population, Ramshaw Real Estate has separate criteria for our on campus and off campus properties. Regardless of financial ability, all tenants must pass a background check to lease with Ramshaw Real Estate.  Every person over the age of 18 that will be living in the unit, however, must complete a rental application (found here). Please be aware that all applications require a non-refundable fee.

Ramshaw Real Estate does not require a parent or guarantor to cosign the lease. Off campus properties, however, require a cumulative net monthly income of three times the monthly rent for approval. Off campus applicants must also pass a credit check.

Please submit a maintenance request through your Online Portal. This is the fastest and most secure way for Ramshaw Real Estate to receive your request. If it is an emergency during business hours, please call our office (217-359-6400). For emergency maintenance issues after hours, please call our 24/7 Line (217-531-3338).
