APPLICATION SCREENING REQUIREMENTS

8. Complete Application: All lines must be filled in and questions answered for the application to be processed. All applicants over the age of 18 must complete an application and all occupants over the age of 18 must sign the lease along with the lease holder(s). Any person under the age of 18 must be listed as an occupant on the lease.

9. Two Forms of Identification: We require at least one valid government-issued photo identification document (ID) for all applicants over the age of 18. If your social security card is marked VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION and you report income, you must provide the authorization card as well. Social Security cards are required for all HOME Assisted units.

10. Verifiable Rental History: The standard approval process requires verifiable rental history for the last two (2) years. It is your responsibility to provide the necessary information that allows us to contact your past landlord(s) for this information. You must have a history of paying your rent on time, have given proper notice, have no dispossessory warrant(s) filed and must not owe any money to your landlord. If we are unable to verify your previous landlord(s) and/or references, or if you have no rental history, we reserve the right to charge additional security deposit and/or deny your application if the other criteria set forth are not met. Verifiable for these purposes means THIRD PARTY verification from someone other than a relative. We will consider a mortgage as rental history if it has been active within the past two (2) years. However, if the mortgage is late or in default, you will be asked to give the reason why, show documentation to support the reason and may be required to pay additional security deposit providing the other criteria set forth are met.

11. Income Eligibility: To become eligible for approval you must meet the monthly requirement set forth by this community which is 2 times the tenant paid rent per month. Income will be verified by a third party.

  • 50% of income or less from contribution – A NOTARIZED AFFIDAVIT from the contributor (form to be provided by office) AND six (6) months of bank statements showing the amount of the contribution as a deposit. If the applicant cannot provide bank statements proving the contribution, then the contributor must be added as a GUARANTOR for the leaseholder.
  • More than 50% of income from a contribution – Supply the above documentation, PLUS the contributor must become a GUARANTOR for the leaseholder and earn at least FOUR (4) times the monthly rent, have verifiable impeccable credit and score automatic approval (no conditions).

Guarantors MUST SIGN a Lease Contract Guaranty which needs to be signed in the office or notarized. Guarantors MUST SIGN a new Lease Contract Guaranty with each renewal.

13. Credit History: Credit accounts should have satisfactory ratings and all utility accounts must be current with no balance owing. If credit has been slow but all other qualifications for residency have been met, the application may be conditionally approved with payment of an additional security deposit.

14. Criminal Background: Criminal background screenings will be reviewed for all adult members of the household who have satisfactorily met all above income, credit and rental history criteria.

  • A history of any criminal conviction is not a denial of a rental application in all cases; criminal history is evaluated based on the nature and time of the conviction, as well as any relevant mitigating information provided by the applicant.
