• Applications may be done online or paper

• Completed Application is turned in to V1P

  • There should be no blanks, application fee paid, photo ID provided, proof of income provided

• We run your criminal background check, request your credit report, and speak to current and former landlords

• We review your income to ensure you meet the guidelines

• All information is assembled and a decision is made

  • You can be Approved, Declined, Rejected or Co-signer required.

    • Approved means you qualify for the apartment, or any other apartment we have that is rent reasonable for your income

    • Declined means you do not meet our requirements at this time- you will be told if eligible to reapply in the future

    • Rejected means your application was incomplete or we did not receive the proper information to make a decision

      • You can correct the missing items/incomplete information and re-apply

      • We hold incomplete apps for 30 days, after which they are considered rejected

    • Co-signer required means you will need someone else who meets our guidelines to apply with you and sign the lease to guarantee the rental. The most common situation is income not meeting the 3x rental rate requirement. 

      • Your co-applicant has 30 days to apply, or else your application is rejected for being incomplete

Venture One Properties is a Cincinnati, OH based apartment rental company. Venture One Properties has 5 different buildings that all together have more than 100 units. We offer nice, affordable apartments with modern upgrades. For more information on our rental guidelines, view Requirements below.

In general, each application is considered on a case by case basis. We are able to have some flexibility in different situations.

• A complete application (with no blanks, missing info/items) and complete & true information within the application

• Three times (3x) the rental rate in regular monthly income before taxes

  • Example: If the apartment rents for $500/month, your income should total at least $1500/ month to qualify

  • If two adults with income are applying, we will combine the two incomes to meet the guideline

  • A cosigner can be added if income is too low

• Pass a criminal background check

  • No recent criminal activity (past 5 years), especially anything involving drugs, violence, theft/fraud.

  • No multiple felonies- older than 5 years with nothing recent can still be considered

  • No sex offenders

• Pass a credit check

  • We are NOT looking for a certain score

  • No money owed to Duke Energy

  • No money owed to previous landlords

  • No multiple bankruptcies

• Pass a landlord reference

  • We want your current and previous landlords to verify you were a good tenant, paid rent, followed their rules, etc.

• No recent evictions (past 5 years)

  • Evictions that show dismissed typically will not count against you (see below)

  • Evictions showing money owed will need to be clarified

  • Multiple evictions or physical evictions may need to be clarified

Note- in some situations, we can accept a double deposit or co-signer to act as a guarantor for renting the apartment. We try to have as much flexibility as possible.
