Wait Lists

Being added to the wait list will only happen when you have

completed the application and it is approved by NWCSA.

Rental applications are processed on a first come first serve basis. Before you fill out an application, please review the reasons you could be denied.  All denials will receive a letter in the mail. A denial will be issued by NWCSA if:

2. If the completed rental application contains any omission that are not satisfactorily explained.
3. In the past five years, you have had a conviction for any type of crime. Non-violent felons may be considered for tenancy five years from the satisfaction of the sentence.
4. If you have repeat offences of violent/threatening behavior or damaging property.
5. Your credit check show accounts that are not current or a judgement against you for financial delinquency and unpaid fines or court costs are not acceptable.
6. If you have been evicted during the last two years for late or non-payment of rent or for behavior that includes causing disturbance, threating other persons, damaging an apartment, or other reasons, your application will be denied.

Previous landlords report significant complaint levels of non-compliance activity such as repeated disturbance of the neighbor's peaceful enjoyment of the area; reports of prostitution, drug dealing, or drug manufacturing; reports of violence or threats to the landlord or the neighbors; allowing person not on the rental agreement to reside on the premises; failure to give proper notification when vacating the property.
