By Alexander Concepcion, Taco Street Locating. Checked Oct 2, 2026 against each property’s own website (linked in the table).
At nine Dallas-area communities checked on Oct 2, 2026, applying meant a government-issued photo ID, proof of income, and credit and background screening. Three state an income rule of three times monthly rent: The Katy, Park at Katy Trail and Hyde Park McKinney. Application fees, where listed, ran $50 to $85 per applicant.
What do Dallas apartments ask for when you apply? (checked Oct 2, 2026)
| Community | Income rule as listed | ID and documents as listed | Screening as listed | Application fee listed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Main 3 (FAQ) | “Certain income requirements and rental standards”; amount not stated on the answer I read | Applicants must be 18 or older | Subject to screening | $75 per applicant; security deposit $500, rising to $750 or $1,000 on credit results, per the fee page |
| The Katy (FAQ) | Earn three times the rent and have two consecutive months of verifiable income | Government-issued photo ID to tour; the FAQ lists accepted proof of income, including two months of pay stubs and the most recent W-2, 1099 or 1040 | Third-party screening through OneSite | Not stated on the FAQ I read |
| The Park at Katy Trail (FAQ) | Income should generally be at least three times the monthly rent | A valid ID and proof of income | Not described on the FAQ | “An application fee is required”; amount not stated |
| The Uptown (site) | Income verification is required during the application | Government-issued ID is required to tour | Criminal background checks required; unsatisfactory credit may require an additional deposit | Not stated on the pages I read |
| SkyHouse (FAQ) | Income verification is required | Employer check through The Work Number; if your employer does not participate, connect a bank account or payroll provider, or upload pay stubs | RentGrow, the third-party screening system | $75 per applicant |
| Hyde Park McKinney (FAQ), McKinney | Applicants must make three times the monthly rent | Completed rental application and signed General Rental Requirements, plus a government-issued photo ID and proof of income | Credit and criminal background checks; guarantors accepted in certain circumstances | $75 |
| Villas at Katy Trail (FAQ) | Income verification; the full requirements are in its Rental Criteria document | Rental Criteria is available through the leasing office or the site | Credit history, rental history, income verification and background checks | $85 per person |
| Burnett Lofts (FAQ) | Proof of income, such as recent pay stubs or a W-2 | Valid government-issued photo ID for each applicant aged 18 or older | Not described on the FAQ answer | $65 |
| Glass House (Windsor page) | Set in Windsor’s Resident Selection Criteria | Every applicant 18 or older completes an application | Criteria applied consistently to each applicant, per the FAQ | $50 per applicant, plus a $300 application deposit applied to first month’s rent and refundable if the application is not approved |
“Not stated” means the page I read did not say, not that the rule does not exist. I did not include credit score cutoffs because none of these pages publishes one. Most of these pages do not cover guarantors, co-signers or income from outside the U.S.; only Hyde Park McKinney says guarantors are accepted in certain circumstances. Most sites send you to a criteria document or the leasing office for the full rules, so ask for the written criteria before you pay an application fee.

How do I get ready to apply for a Dallas apartment?
Gather a government-issued photo ID, your most recent two pay stubs or an offer letter, and the last W-2 or tax return if you are self-employed. Check whether your employer uses The Work Number, which SkyHouse names, since that can speed up income checks. Ask the office what rent your income supports at the three-times standard some buildings list: at $2,000 rent, that means $6,000 a month.
