2 Years Good Rental History
Verifiable Gross Income
- All PPL rental units have a maximum income limit, ranging from 30-60% of Area Median Income.
- Minimum monthly income of twice the rent charged on the apartment required (ex. $650 apartment requires $1,300 monthly income).
Credit History
- Poor credit history is not a disqualifier.
- Outstanding balance due to past landlord(s) and/or utilities may disqualify an applicant.
Occupancy Guidelines
Please note that these are the minimum and the maximum number of people who may occupy apartments with the number of bedrooms noted:
- Efficiency: 1-2 occupants
- 1 Bedroom: 1-2 occupants
- 2 Bedroom: 2-4 occupants
