Misconceptions

When it comes to applying for housing at Rochdale Village, many potential applicants have misunderstandings about the application form and the process involved. Here are six common misconceptions that often arise:

  1. Everyone is guaranteed acceptance.

    Many people believe that simply filling out the application form guarantees them a spot in Rochdale Village. In reality, acceptance is based on various criteria, including income, credit history, and the availability of units.

  2. The application form is overly complicated.

    Some applicants feel intimidated by the form, thinking it is too complex. However, while it requires detailed information, it is designed to be straightforward. Assistance is often available for those who need help completing it.

  3. Only low-income individuals can apply.

    There is a common belief that Rochdale Village only accepts low-income applicants. In fact, the community is open to a range of income levels, though there may be specific income limits for certain units.

  4. Submitting the application early guarantees a better chance.

    Some people think that applying as soon as the application period opens gives them an advantage. While timing can be important, the selection process is often based more on eligibility than the date of application submission.

  5. Applicants must have perfect credit to qualify.

    There is a misconception that only those with flawless credit histories will be accepted. While credit is a factor in the decision-making process, other aspects of an applicant’s financial situation are also considered.

  6. Once submitted, the application cannot be changed.

    Some individuals believe that once they submit their application, it is set in stone. In reality, applicants can often update their information or correct mistakes before a final decision is made.

Understanding these misconceptions can help applicants approach the Rochdale Village application process with greater confidence and clarity.
