Application Process & Requirements

All applicants must have a strong credit history. Additional requirements can be seen on the application. We’re happy to answer any questions you might have about the requirements.

You can call (708) 366-RENT or contact us online to schedule an appointment. We’re available for tours on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Can’t make it during regular business hours? Let us know, and we’ll probably be able to arrange something for you.

We like to give current tenants plenty of notice of upcoming tours. The sooner you tell us which available apartments you would like to see, the better.

Application Process

  1. Complete an Oak Park Apartments application either in person or online. Everyone over the age of 18 years living in the apartment must fill out a separate application.
  2. Pay the $50.00 application fee through our online portal.
  3. Upload your required ID and supporting income documents.
  4. Make an apartment hold payment of $300.00 to ensure that the unit is no longer marketed once the application is approved.
    • Unless otherwise stated in writing, the unit you apply for online reflects your final decision; we will not change your unit once you have submitted your application unless a significant casualty damages the chosen unit so that it cannot be repaired by the move-in date.
    • We will refund your $300 only if your application is declined.
    • If the application is accepted, your $300 hold payment will go toward the non-refundable $375 move-in/document processing fee.
    • You will then be required to sign a lease within 5 days of acceptance or you will forfeit the $300.00 and the apartment.
    • Backing out of a lease will also preclude an applicant from renting another unit from our firm.
    • Applications typically take 24-48 hours to process through a third-party screening service. Difficulties verifying information may delay the process further. If an applicant does not provide all requested documents, the application can not be approved.
    • Our agents do not process your application and have no information as to why an application has been declined.
    • You will be contacted as soon as possible to inform you of a decision.
  5. If you would like to request an available parking space at one of our buildings, please make sure your agent has confirmed availability and the monthly rate.

If you have any questions, please call 708-386-RENT or contact us.
