Application Process

1. Review the eligibility guidelines to verify that you are eligible to rent at Oak Creek Apartments. Your eligibility must fall within categories 1 or 2.
2. (Optional) Contact the Leasing Office to schedule a property tour.
3. Complete the Waiting List Form. A formal Stanford offer letter or current paystub showing your eligibility is required before an apartment can be offered.
4. If an apartment fitting your criteria comes available, a leasing agent will reach out to you via the email that you submitted in your waiting list form.
5. You will have 24 hours to "accept" or "decline" the apartment offer. If you accept, the leasing agent will have you and all adult occupants submit an application within 24-48 hours. Application fees and holding charges will be due at this time. Since the application fee will be used to run a credit check, it is nonrefundable.
6. The leasing agent will process the application. Processing time is needed to run credit/background checks, confirm minimum rent-to-income eligibility, and verify Stanford eligibility.
7. Once your application is reviewed and approved, you will be notified by your leasing agent.
