Thank you for choosing Chicago Apartment Place, Inc. for your apartment rental needs. 

As part of your application for tenancy you need to fill out the proceeding background questionnaire so that the company can conduct a background check. We verify your current employment, your current and past rental and eviction history, and run a full credit report. As part of that process, you will need to electronically sign an Authorization to Release Consumer Information form ("Authorization Form") consenting to these checks. This Authorization Form will allow Resident Research, LLC, to verify the information you provide and share its results with Chicago Apartment Place, Inc. 

Each proposed occupant (18 years or older) must complete and submit their own application and pay the non-refundable application fee.

Co-signers, if necessary, must complete and sign a Co-Signer Application and submit a $100.00 non-refundable application fee.  The Co-Signer Application can be completed online by visiting https://fs17.formsite.com/residentresearch/ChicagoAptsCoSigner/index.html

The questionnaire takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.  It is important that you complete the application in its entirety and submit a clear copy of your photo ID.  If you do not, we will not be able to process the application successfully.  We recommend that you double check the information you provide for completeness and accuracy to ensure there is no delay with your application. Once you place the order, you will not be able to modify or change it.  Applications submitted through this online portal take approximately two (2) to three (3) business days to process.
