Who can apply?

We support equal housing opportunities, because everyone deserves a home! Anyone over the age of 18 years who will be residing in the apartment needs to complete an application. You do not need to fill out an application before touring a unit. Please note by submitting an application, you are permitting Dow Della Valle to conduct a credit and background check.

Do I have to apply if I want to rent an apartment?

Yes. However, you do not have to apply prior to scheduling a showing with one of our agents. If you like the apartment after the tour and want to move forward with the leasing process, then an application is required.

Is there an application fee?

Yes. There is a non-refundable fee of $50 per application. Your application is transferrable and does not need to be specific to a unit!

What are your rental requirements?

Approval is contingent on credit score, sufficient monthly income (about 3x monthly rent), financial history, and criminal/eviction history.

When will I know if my application has been approved?

You will be contacted by one of our rental agents within 24-48 hours after submitting your application.

What kind of apartments do you have, and where?

We have everything from studio apartments in a multifamily building, to luxury apartments in an apartment complex, to single family homes. Most of our rentals are in the Greater New Haven area, just tell us what you are looking for and we will narrow the search down for you!

What if the apartment I wanted has already been rented?

We will help you find another apartment that fits your needs! No need to reapply; your original application can be transferred.

How fast can I move in?

You will receive your keys to your new apartment once the lease is fully executed and the security deposit and first month's rent are paid

Do you manage the property?

No, we do NOT manage most of our rental properties.
