In the old days, filling out an application for an apartment could give a person writer’s cramp! But thankfully, now the entire process can be completed electronically at most of our communities. Follow these easy steps to complete the process in 20 minutes or less. For more information, please review Wimmer Communities Rental Qualification Standards and Application Guidelines before you begin.
Before You Begin:
To ensure a smooth experience, please have the following ready:
· Valid Photo ID or Driver’s License
· Social Security Number (if applicable)
· Visa or Passport (if applicable)
· Income information
· Residency history
· Full name and email address for any additional adult occupant(s)
Step 1: Access the Application
· Use your personalized application link sent to your email – if you toured and did not receive this, please contact the Leasing Office for additional assistance!
Step 2: Create Your Account
· Enter your basic information using your full legal name exactly as it appears on your ID, then select “Create My Account.”
Step 3: Complete ID Verification
· Follow the prompts to verify your identity. You’ll need your photo ID available for this step. The system will prompt you through the steps, including taking a photo of your identification. Once you have successfully completed ID verify, you will be directed to the application page.
Step 4: Fill Out the Application
· Complete all required sections, including:
o Personal Information
o Employment/Income History
o Residency history
*If you have any questions, our team is happy to help.
Step 5: Add Additional Occupants
· In this step, you will add any additional adults who will reside in the apartment (ages 18+):
o Enter their full name and email address
o They will receive a link to complete their portion of the application – it is essential for applicants to follow this link, rather than go to the website to apply directly! Additional applicants cannot submit a separate application.
Step 6: Upload Identification
· Upload your ID – this is the second, and final place where you will need to upload a photo of your identification.
Step 7: Submit & Pay Application Fee
· Review your application
· Submit payment of $25 per applicant (non-refundable) – the application fee can be paid by bank account, credit card or debit card! Please note, there is a small convenience fee to pay by credit card or debit card. You can enter bank information to avoid this fee.
Once submitted, our Leasing Team will be notified, and will begin processing it!
