RESIDENT SCREENING POLICY FOR CONVENTIONAL PROPERTIES
Thank you for your interest in our property. Before you apply to rent an apartment home in our property, please
take the time to review the screening requirements. All persons 18 years of age or older, and not dependents,
will be required to complete separate rental applications. Applicants with adult dependents, and applying for
residency will complete a joint application. The term "applicant(s)" under this policy means the person or
persons that will be signing the Lease as "residents"; the term "occupant(s)" in this policy means the person or
persons that are authorized occupants under the Lease.
Please also note that these are our current rental criteria; nothing contained in these requirements shall constitute
a guarantee or representation by us that all residents and occupants currently residing in the property have met
these requirements. There may be residents and occupants that have resided in the property prior to these
requirements going into effect; additionally, our ability to verify whether these requirements have been met is
limited to the information we receive from the various resident credit reporting services used.
Statement of Non-Discrimination and Fair Housing Policy
It is the policy of this property to comply with all applicable fair housing laws including those which prohibit
discrimination against any person based on race, sex, religion, color, familial status, national origin, age, or
disability. Housing shall be made available without regard to actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender
identity, or marital status.
This property will make reasonable accommodation(s) to persons with disabilities if such accommodation(s) will
allow a prospect and/or applicant an experience comparable to those of non-disabled renters. Any person can
make a request for reasonable accommodation by phone or in writing to the property in which they wish to visit,
apply and/or reside.
The applicant may include evidence that a debt has been paid in full, court documentation, and documentation
regarding criminal history for our consideration to mitigate potentially negative screening results.
Qualifying Rental Criteria
Prospective residents over the age of 18 touring the property must present a valid government issued ID, with
each ID presented verified through Checkpoint ID prior to touring the property or submitting an online application.
All documentation submitted for review or verification during the rental application process must be unaltered. Any
documentation that has been altered will not be accepted for consideration.

one per apartment.
Studio Up to Two Persons
One Bedroom Up to Three Persons
One Bedroom with Den Up to Four Persons

* Residents who exceed these occupancy standards during the lease term, will be required, upon the end of

ii. Move out
Rent for the new apartment will be at the rental rate at the time the lease is entered into for the new apartment.

3. Credit - A credit report will be completed on all applicants to verify credit ratings. Income plus verified credit
history will be entered into a credit scoring model to determine rental eligibility and security deposit levels.
Unfavorable accounts which will negatively influence this score include, but are not limited to: collections,
charge-off, repossession, and current recent delinquency; open bankruptcies, or bankruptcies discharged
and/or closed within the past 12 months, will result in an automatic denial of the application.
4. Income - Gross income for all applicants in one apartment home will be combined and entered into the credit
scoring model for income eligibility. All applicants will be asked to produce consecutive and most recent pay
stubs for the last 4 weeks from Application Date. If handwritten pay stubs are supplied, the documents must
be validly notarized to be deemed sufficient. Applicants must have a minimum combined gross income of 3.0
times the monthly rent. Additional sources of verifiable income may be considered. These sources may
include: child support, grants, pensions, GI benefits, disability, trust funds, social security and savings
accounts. (The applicant must supply six current consecutive months of bank statements if any of the
additional sources of income listed above cannot be provided directly from the supplier.) We use a third-party
service to verify the authenticity of any qualification documents.
5. Employment - If employment is to begin work shortly, the applicant must provide a "letter of intent" to hire
from the employer.
6. Self- Employment, Retired or Unemployed - Such applicants must provide the previous year's income tax
return and the previous two month's bank statements, or twelve months of financial statements and must
exhibit no negative references. Seasonal employment must be verified by providing the prior year's tax return.
7. Criminal History - A criminal background check will be conducted for each applicant and occupant age 18
years or more. A landlord is not required to rent to any person whose tenancy would constitute a direct threat
to the health or safety of other individuals or whose tenancy would result in substantial physical damage to the
property of others.
Any conviction for manufacture or distribution of any federally controlled substance and applicants who are
required to register as sex offenders for life will result in an automatic denial of tenancy.
All other criminal convictions will require additional screening, which will require additional time for screening
and an additional charge of $15.00, which shall be paid in full prior to the additional criminal screening, within
10 days of the initial screening result.
When you apply, screening will be run on income, credit, other areas in the screening criteria and criminal
history. If the screening passes the non-criminal requirements and you have no criminal convictions, then your
application may be accepted immediately. If you do have criminal convictions, you may be given a conditional
approval or may not be approved to rent, pending the outcome of the criminal screening, if the convictions
would constitute a direct threat to the health or safety of other individuals or whose tenancy would result in
substantial physical damage to the property of others.
Determinations as to criminal screening will be made on a case by case basis, and will be based on the
following factors and information, which will be required for every conviction, and we cannot complete the
application screening without this information: 1) the facts of the crime you were convicted of; 2) the actual
charge you were convicted of; 3) your age at the time of the conviction; 4) criminal convictions prior to the
conviction; 5) criminal convictions and pending charges since the conviction; 6) how much time has passed
since the conviction; and for drug possession charges 7) if you are in, or have completed recovery or treatment
since the conviction.
Failure to provide any information is a basis for denial of tenancy.
Please remember that this requirement does not constitute a guarantee or representation that residents or
occupants currently residing in our property have not been convicted of or subject to deferred adjudication
for a felony, certain misdemeanors or sex offenses requiring registration under applicable law; there may be
residents or occupants that have resided in the property prior to this requirement going into effect;

additionally, our ability to verify this information is limited to the information made available to us by the
resident credit reporting services used.
8. Rental History - Rental history will also be included in the screening review, and applications for residency
will automatically be denied for the following reasons:

ii. A breach of a prior lease or a prior eviction or in the process of eviction of any applicant or occupant
iii. More than 1 late payment in 12 months and/or more than 1 NSF within 2 years
9. Guarantors - Guarantors will be accepted for applicants who do not meet the required rent-to-income ratio.
Only one guarantor per apartment is permissible. The guarantor will be required to complete an application
and pay a full application fee. Guarantors must have a gross monthly income of 4 times the monthly
rent and meet all other qualifying criteria identified in this screening policy. The guarantor will be asked
to sign a Guaranty of Resident Obligations to support the application. Guarantors may be relatives,
friends, or an employer.

are allowed per apartment. Animals must be no less than six (6) months of age. Aggressive breeds will
