The full concession amount will be applied at the start of the lease agreement. Contingent that applicant provides all MFTE documents in 72 hours of applying. Please inquire with our leasing team for more information.
Please note for this unit price you must be income eligible through the Seattle MFTE program.
MFTE: You must make no more than $46,040 annually (40% AMI) of gross income (before taxes). We verify by collecting the following and then the city of Seattle verifies it with a special calculation:
- The past three months of paystubs
- If you do not have paystubs, we need whatever proof of income you are on (unemployment, SSI, disability, etc.)
- 3 months of most recent bank statements, both savings and checkings.
