Child support payments and alimony are generally not considered guaranteed income. Social security and disability payments are considered guaranteed income. All sources of income must be verifiable.

  9. Based upon an evaluation of an application, an applicant may be approved subject to the collection of an additional deposit. If an additional deposit is required, it will be in addition to the standard deposit and pet deposit (if applicable). The additional deposit will be applied to charges or refunded in the same manner as other deposits required under the lease.
