One of our primary repeat rental customers continues to be a person thinking of a divorce, starting a divorce, going through a divorce, or just completing a divorce.  It seems our property is perfect for someone who is in a marriage separation or some stage of divorce, including recently divorced.  When a couple separates, it can be a very difficult time financially.  The spouse that no longer lives in the house must find a place to live.  They may not want to pay the deposits and fill out the forms to apply for electricity, water, gas, telephone, cable TV / internet access, health club privileges, and the large apartment deposits of first and last month's rent plus a large security deposit.  A divorce may leave little money for all these items, so our furnished apartments are the perfect place for one of the partners in a divorce.  We provide short term divorce housing, furnished apartments for a person in a divorce, and much easier credit qualifiers for a divorce when cash is short.  Our leasing specialist must be aware of the benefits of our short term furnished apartments for a divorce.  A candidate that has been divorced will have skills that will help with our apartments specializing in helping people in a divorce situation.  Divorces and separations can happen quickly and getting a regular apartment and all the deposits set up may take days or weeks; we can get the divorced party into a furnished apartment within 20 minutes if they have good credit and no criminal background.

Benefits may include reimbursement for private health insurance policy premiums and vacation. We offer well above normal hourly wages PLUS generous bonuses.  To apply, please send a cover letter and resume to careers@scottsdaleparksuites.com. Local candidates are encouraged.
