Quick Answer
"Conditionally Approved" means your application has been reviewed and approved — but with one or more conditions that need to be met before you can move in. This is not a denial. Your next step is to review the conditions and work with the property to complete what's required.
What Conditions Typically Look Like
Common conditions include:
Additional deposit — You may be asked to pay a higher security deposit due to credit score range or other factors.
Proof of debt payment — If a debt was found during screening, you may need to show it's been paid or is being resolved.
Guarantor required — Your income or credit may qualify you with a guarantor's support.
Your approval email will specify exactly what condition applies to you.

Is a conditional approval the same as being denied?
