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.
