Are residents permitted to have pets? | Gloria Dei Retiremen
Are residents permitted to have pets?

Yes, residents are permitted to have pets. However, there are a few rules that must be followed. They are as follows: Cats are permitted, and dogs under 20 pounds are permitted. There is also a pet security deposit of $100.00 that you’re required to pay and there are also Pet Rules you must follow when it comes to being on the community grounds with them.

Are utilities included in monthly rent?

All utilities are included in the monthly rent. However, cable TV and telephone are not. This is considered more of a luxury, but if you’d like to sign up for a Television package you’re more than welcomed to do so. That goes for telephone as well. If you’d like to learn more about it, follow the link here.

What medical expenses should be considered?

All out of pocket medical expenses for a 12 month period that were not reimbursed or paid by health insurance/Medicare/Medicaid. This would include co-pays for doctors, medical procedures, prescriptions, as well as all health insurance premiums and Medicare premiums.

What if I have savings, cash value of insurance policy, stocks?

If entire household assets total less than $5,000.00, the actual annual interest earned on those assets will be added to household income. If entire household assets total more than $5,000.00, the greater of (1) actual annual interest income earned, or (2) a two percent accrued interest premium on entire household assets (e.g. total assets $10,500 x .02 = $210 accrued interest) will be added to applicant income to complete the HUD formula to determine subsidy.

What if I own real estate or own my home?

An informal estimate of real estate market value, either from the internet or provided by a real estate agency, will be used to determine the asset value of property. After deducting any outstanding mortgage, ten percent closing costs would be deducted from that estimated value to give a working value for your property.

What will my rent be?

A rough estimate for calculating HUD rent: For the last 12 month period add up all household income, including income from assets (interest/income from checking accounts, savings accounts, stocks, bonds, insurance policies, real estate, etc.). Subtract from that income amount the household out-of-pocket medical expenses paid for that same 12 month period. Then, multiply that amount by 30% (.30), divide by 12 (12 months), and that amount should be a close estimate of your monthly rental.

How long will it take to get an apartment after I get on a wait list?

Unfortunately, there is no exact way of knowing when you’ll be accepted from our waiting list. There is no specific period that you must wait, nor is there a maximum wait period that automatically gets you in. We would love to accept everybody, but that is not possible.

Can I see a sample apartment?

A formal initial interview and verification of information certification will be scheduled by the Office when your name approaches the top of our wait list. At that initial interview meeting, you will be able to see an apartment the size your household qualifies, and get an idea of room dimensions and layout. We do not have any sample apartments to show.
