OVERALL STANDARDS
Fair Housing
The Community does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, familial status, national
origin, disability, or any other class protected by applicable law. We will make reasonable
accommodations and rules, policies, practices, or services when such accommodations may be necessary
to afford a person with a disability the equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling. We will permit, at
the expense of the person with the disability, reasonable modifications of existing premises occupied or
to be occupied by such person if such modifications may be necessary to afford such person full
enjoyment of the premises.
COVID-19
Although being subject to self-quarantine or self-isolation for COVID-19 will have no bearing on your
eligibility for rental in our community, if you have elected, or will elect, to go into self-quarantine or self-
isolation in our community, please follow the advice and guidance of your healthcare provider and the
CDC. We also ask that you avoid common areas and notify us so that proper precautions can be made if we
or our vendors need to enter your unit for emergency maintenance purposes.

ELIGIBILITY
Final approval of all applications for tenancy will be contingent on full consideration of the results of
Income and Rental History verification, Credit and Criminal background screening, and full and prompt
payment of all required fees.
Income History
Applicants must have a gross income source that can be verified and that meets the minimum income
requirements for the apartment being leased of three (3) times the amount of rent and have at least six
weeks of verifiable income. Applicants will be required to provide income verification, including six
weeks of pay stubs, proof of retirement income, social security, disability or other government income,
the most recent tax return, six consecutive bank/financial statements that would show ten (10) times the
monthly rental amount to be paid by Applicant, or a current offer letter for employment. In instances
where sufficient income requirements cannot be met, the Community may elect to accept a qualified
Guarantor. Applicants that receive voucher assistance or other subsidies will be qualified based on their
voucher amount and their portion of rent. The amount of the voucher will be verified with the granting
agency. If the Applicant is responsible for a portion of the rent, they will be required to provide income
verification of at least three (3) times their portion of rent.
Guarantors
Guarantors may be used for Applicants with insufficient credit or income. In the event that a Guarantor
is required he/she must complete an application, pay an application fee, and meet all Resident Selection
Criteria, including income at least five (5) times the rental amount. Guarantors may also qualify with
verifiable proof of financial worth at least twenty five (25) times the monthly rent amount. Guarantors
will not be required to sign the lease and have no right to possession of the apartment, but will be
required to sign the Lease Contract Guaranty. Guarantors will not have access to the apartment. A
Guarantor will be fully responsible for the rent obligations of the Lease Contract if the occupying
Resident(s) defaults on the Lease Contract.
Credit History
All Applicants are subject to approval through the Community’s third-party Applicant screening agency,
First Advantage. Screening criteria will be applied uniformly and, in a manner consistent with all
applicable laws, including state and federal housing laws, federal fair credit reporting laws, program
guidelines and administrative rules. Approvals of all Applicants are based on an empirical system that
incorporates multiple credit factors along with other non-statistical factors, including the Applicant’s
income and credit score, to determine overall Applicant qualification. Applicants with less than two (2)
years of established credit or a credit score less than 550 will be conditionally approved.
Applicants with utility debt less than $250 will be Conditionally Approved. Applicants with utility debt
more than $250 will be Denied.

Department Reauthorization Act of 2005. Applicants cannot be rejected based on the Applicant being a

The Community does not guarantee or represent those residents or occupants currently residing at the
Community qualify under the criteria stated herein. There may be residents and occupants that have
resided in our Community prior to the current criteria being in place. Our ability to confirm the
background of residents and occupants is limited to the various credit reporting services used.
Our decisions are based on the information provided by the screening agency at the time of application.
We are not responsible for inaccurate information obtained.
