Frequently Asked Questions
The Amalfi Clearwater Luxury Apartments
What factors are considered when qualifying an applicant at The Amalfi Apartments?
Our third-party screening company looks at multiple factors to determine approval. Your credit, rental history, current employment, and background screening will all be considered. Those with no credit score or a lower credit score may be accepted with conditions requiring a higher deposit or re-apply with a guarantor.
Are guarantors accepted?
U.S.-based guarantors are accepted for applicants who do not meet the required rent-to-income ratio only. Only one guarantor per home is allowed. Guarantors may be relatives or an employer; friends may not serve as a guarantor. They need to have a gross monthly income that's at least 6 times the monthly rent. It's one of the key factors in our screening policy, alongside a few other criteria. The guarantor is responsible to pay for an application fee as well in the amount on $100.
What is the income requirement?
To rent one of our apartment homes, you need a gross monthly household income that equals at least 3 times the monthly rent.
What documents are required to apply?
When you are ready to apply, please have the following documents handy for a smoother application process: a U.S. government-issued photo ID (such as a drivers license or passport) and proof of employment. We require six weeks worth of paystubs or an official offer letter. For self-employed individuals, reach out to the leasing office for details on documents needed for income verification.
Which utilities are included in my rent?
Pest control is included in the monthly rent. Water and sewer are billed based on consumption and added to the rent. Common area electricity is charged back to residents based on the number of occupants and the square footage of their apartments, typically ranging from $8 to $15 per month. All other utilities are billed separately and paid directly to the providers.
What is the pet policy?
We are a pet-friendly community and allow the following pets: dogs and cats. There is a weight limit of 80 lbs. per pet. Breed restrictions include Pit Bull, Cane Corso, Rottweiler, Chow Chow, German Shepard, Siberian Husky, Alaskan Malamute, Doberman Pinscher, Presa Canario Bulldog, Great Dane, Boxer, Akita, Wolf Hybrid, or any breed mixed with one of those listed here.
Pet Fees & Deposit
There is an one-time, non-refundable pet fee in the amount of $300 due at the time of move-in, and a monthly pet rent in the amount of $20. We require a picture of the pet, vet records up-to-date, and a pet application filled out.
Do I have to be present for a service technician to perform work?
Please select permission to enter when submitting your work orders through the resident portal. This will allow the maintenance team to enter your apartment to complete your work order, without you needing to be present. Please be sure animals are secure.
What are my options for paying my rent?
You can pay rent through our online resident portal with ACH, credit, or debit. We also have a WIPS program where you can pay at convenient locations nationwide. Ask our team for details.
Is parking available?
All residents are required to register their vehicles during the online application or directly with the Leasing Agent in the office. We do not have assigned parking. Our policy is "First come, first serve". We allow only one vehicle per leaseholder. Non-registered vehicles can be towed at any time without prior notice. We provide visitor parking for guests who can stay for a maximum of 3 days and previously registered in the Leasing Office. There is no parking fee either.
