What to expect when Applying for a Wimmer Community

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.

• Social security number
• Employment information and most recent pay stub, if applicable
• Income
• Rental history, if applicable

**Please note: if you have roommates, all of you will need to complete your applications within the same 24-hour period to ensure they are processed together.

Step 2: Begin your Application
