More About You

More information about you

Here are some resources to help you find the things you need and improve your rental experience.
WHERE ARE YOUR HOMES LOCATED?
  • We have single family scattered-site homes located throughout St. Louis County.
IS THE RENT BASED ON INCOME?
  • Rent is not based on income. We offer affordable housing that is below market rate.
IS THERE A DEPOSIT?
  • There is a deposit. We require a deposit equal to one month’s rent.
DO YOU ACCEPT PETS?
  • We do not accept pets. Only documented service or assistance animals are allowed.
HOW LONG DOES THE APPLICATION PROCESS TAKE?
  • Once you submit the Rental Housing Eligibility Form, the average response time is approximately two weeks.
  • You will receive a response from a property manager to pick up and complete the application. There is a $25 application fee for each person (ages 18 or older) on the application.
  • The application process can take an additional two weeks depending on how quickly you complete your portion of the paperwork and receive your third party verifications (landlord, employer, etc.).
  • We ask that you do not submit your eligibility form any sooner than four months before your desired move in date, as our paperwork expires after 120 days.
DO YOU RUN A CREDIT CHECK?
  • Yes, we do a credit report and a background check for each individual ages 18 and older on the application.
WHAT TYPE OF INFORMATION WILL YOU CHECK ON THE CREDIT REPORT?
  • The main thing we look for on credit checks is rental history.
  • Applicants cannot owe any current or previous landlords, have any evictions or judgments, or owe any utility companies that would prevent them having utilities turned on in their own name.
  • We are willing to accept one delinquent credit report rental balance, as long as the amount is under $1,500.
  • United Way of Greater St Louis (dial 211 on land-line) may be able to provide resources for help with any unpaid balances.
WHAT UTILITIES AM I RESPONSIBLE FOR?
  • Residents are responsible for electric, gas, water, trash and sewer.
  • Lawn maintenance (lawn mowing and fence-line weeding removal) and snow removal are also the renter’s responsibility.
IS IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO PURCHASE THE HOME I RENT?
  • Many of the homes Beyond Housing owns have strict regulations that prohibit the sale of the home for a minimum of 15 years.
  • However, while living in the home, we do have programs available that will help you prepare for homeownership.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LIVING IN A BEYOND HOUSING HOME?
  • In addition to providing affordable housing, Beyond Housing offers programs that allow you to reach your personal goals.
  • We have quarterly budgeting classes, as well as one-on-one budgeting and credit .
