Resident Selection & Housing Eligibility

BCLT strives to make living in our apartments a positive experience for renters. Residents must apply in advance for BCLT apartments and applications are given priority based on the order of receipt in our office of the complete application. To ensure that BCLT housing maintains the highest possible standards, resident selection and household eligibility criteria must be met by all residents. Many factors are considered when reviewing applications.

BCLT requires and considers certain household information for persons applying for our rental housing.
