unsatisfied rental accounts, unsatisfied evictions or collections/charge offs above the limits stated below.

If your score is too low, the only other option would be to have a CO-SIGNOR that qualified completely on their own,
until your credit situation improved.
Should a prospect have less than a 670 credit score, IF ALL other information verifies to our satisfaction, and any negative accounts, collections, charge offs, etc. were under a certain amount, then the following additional security deposit amounts MIGHT be possible as an alternative. Depending on the type and amount of negative accounts, collections, and/or charge offs, the limit shall be no more than $2,000 max per individual OR $3,500 max per couple. Under no circumstances can there be any unsatisfied rental account, or unsatisfied eviction.
Credit Score of 670 and up = pay a 1 month Security Deposit
Credit Score of 650 to 669 = pay a 1 and ½ months Security Deposit
Credit Score of 625 to 649 = pay a 2 month Security Deposit
