Page 8: Other Information
False or Misleading Information: The failure to fill out all sections of this form may result in the denial of your application. Providing false or misleading information could result in the denial of your application, or termination of your rental agreement. It is our policy to disapprove the application of any person who could represent a threat to the health, safety, and welfare of the other residents, occupants, visitors, and staff of the community. Inappropriate or abusive conduct during the application process by the applicant, or those desiring to rent a unit will result in the denial of your application.
Equal Housing Opportunity Policy: It is management’s policy to provide housing for all applicants without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, or disability. Management, and the owner of the property, is Equal Housing Opportunity providers. It is also management’s policy to provide or allow reasonable accommodations and modifications to our rental policies and properties to persons with demonstrated disabilities. If applicable, the applicant or resident must provide sufficient information about the need for any such accommodation or modification, and allow management sufficient time to review and approve the same. Since the property already meets all accessibility requirements, the cost of most modifications will be the responsibility of the applicant or resident.
Applicant or resident agrees to provide or supplement information regarding any such request for accommodations or modifications promptly in writing upon management’s request.
Good Faith Deposit: Applicant understands and agrees that the Good Faith Deposit and other deposits or non-refundable fees paid will be returned if applicant is not accepted as a resident. Applicant will have **72** hours after submitting the application to withdrawal the application and receive a full refund of the Good Faith Deposit. The notice of withdrawal must be in writing. The application fees, however, are non-refundable. If the applicant does not withdraw the application within the time specified above and applicant is approved for occupancy, the applicant agrees to sign a rental agreement and take possession of a unit. If the applicant does not withdraw the application by written notice within the time specified above and is approved for occupancy, but fails or refuses to sign a rental agreement and take possession of the unit on or before the anticipated move-in date, the Good Faith Deposit and other deposits or non-refundable fees shall be retained by management as liquidated damages. If the number of hours to withdraw the application is not specified above, applicant will only have 24 hours to withdraw the application and receive a refund of the Good Faith Deposit and other deposits and non-refundable fees. Applicant acknowledges that the Good Faith Deposit is not a security deposit. However, upon signing a rental agreement, the Good Faith Deposit will be applied toward any
Security Deposit and non-refundable fees specified in the rental agreement. In the event applicant defaults under the terms of this application, applicant acknowledges the management shall keep the Good Faith Deposit and other deposits and non-refundable fees as liquidated damages, which are compensation for holding the unit off market. Applicant agrees that the amount of lost rent in holding the unit off the market is unknown and that this provision is intended as a good faith estimate of management’s damages in the event of applicant’s default. The Good Faith Deposit does not constitute a security deposit.
Rental Qualification Criteria: Applicant understands and agrees that the rental application will be reviewed using business judgment, decisional criteria, a point scoring system, or a combination of those systems. In order to qualify for housing, the applicant must have good rental, credit, and criminal background histories. Applicant must demonstrate the financial ability to afford the unit under management’s rental qualification criteria. A co-signor or guarantor is not a substitute for unacceptable rental, credit, or criminal background histories. Poor rental history because of disapproval of co-signor’s, roommates, or guarantor’s application, or because of prior history of late payments, lease violation’s, failure to give proper notice, or damages exceeding normal wear and tear may result in denial of the applicant’s rental application. However, the lack of a rental history may not necessarily result in a denial of the application. While co-applicant’s (either as spouse or roommates), co-signor’s, and guarantor’s may be allowed in order to meet the rental qualifications, each of those persons must meet the rental qualification criteria’s applicable to his or her particular rental application circumstances. Applicant must demonstrate a certain earning level or source of income, savings, or assists sufficient to insure the ability of the applicant to pay the monthly rent and living expenses, taking into account any revolving, recurring, or monthly debt from credit cards and loans. Self employed applicant’s may need to provide income tax returns and other business financial records, such as income and expense statement’s, asset statement’s, and personal net worth statement’s. Self employed or retired applicant’s may need to provide additional financial documentation of ability to pay rent.
Availability of Unit Desired or Requested: At the time of this application, applicant has expressed interest in a particular floor plan or type of unit and may have requested occupancy of a specific unit, which was shown and listed as the desired unit and occupancy date above. Management cannot guarantee that the particular unit desired will be available on the date requested by the applicant, as there are many variables which could result in delay or unavailability of the unit. Applicant agrees to take occupancy of a comparable unit offered by management that reasonably matches the applicant’s desired floor plan and move-in date. Applicant understand that management may not be able to price the desired unit, floor plan, or move-in date if applicant changes his or her planned or expected move-in date. Unavailability of the desired unit on the desired date does not relieve applicant from his or her contractual obligations under this agreement.
Applicant’s Rental Decision: Applicant has either asked about or reviews the rental agreement and addenda he or she is expected to sign upon approval of this application. Applicant agrees that he or she has fully questioned management regarding any important information about a rental of a unit at this community. Applicant is satisfied with the responses to his or her questions and is fully informed as to all information needed to make his or her decision to apply for a unit. Applicant understands that not all units in the community have line of sight to receive satellite communications and that management cannot guarantee high speed internet access. Applicant understands that there are limitations on the number of persons who may occupy a unit, usually expressed as the HUD approved standard which allows management to limit occupancy to no more than two persons per bedroom or sleeping space.
Applicant understands and agrees that he or she must pay for all utilities and services supplied to the unit including, but not limited to; water and waste water, sanitation, pest control, electricity, natural gas, cable, phone, and other telecommunication services. Applicant is aware that any rental concessions offered may be available only for limited times and the applicant must comply with all conditions required without having to be responsible for reimbursing management for the rental value of the concession. Such conditions include fully completing the expected term of the agreement without defaulting under the lease and without using any early termination provision. Applicant has been given the opportunity to ask questions about the existence of crime in the community and fully understands that management and the owner of the community do not provide security or security devices which are intended to defect, deter, or report crimes committed. Applicant understands and agrees that there are limitations on the size, number, and type of motor vehicles or other transportation, boats, trailers, and equipment which may be used or stored on the property. In general, no unit may have more than two automobiles per unit. However, applicant has specifically inquired about and understands the content or parking rules and regulations he or she will be expected to sign if approved for occupancy.
Applicant fully understands that any false or misleading information provided to management during the rental application process could lead to termination or eviction from the community at a later date after taking occupancy once management learns that the information provided was false, misleading, or inaccurate. The specification of a particular unit as the one desired by applicant does not constitute a representation or promise by management that the unit specified will in fact be available on the desired date. Management may notify applicant either verbally or in writing once the application has been approved. After applicant has been approved or after management has notified applicant that a unit is ready for occupancy, applicant must promptly sign a lease and take occupancy of the unit in order to avoid losing the good faith deposit and non-refundable fees.

YOU CAN LOSE YOUR GOOD FAITH DEPOSIT AND OTHER NON-REFUNDABLE FEES IF YOUR APPLICATION IS APPROVED AND YOU FAIL TO SIGN A LEASE OR TAKE OCCUPANCY OF THE UNIT. APPLICANT CERTIFIES THAT HE OR SHE HAS FULLY AND TRUTHFULLY ANSWERED ALL QUESTIONS ASKED AND VERIFIED THE ACCURACY OF ALL INFORMATION PRESENTED AND AUTHORIZES VERIFICATION OF ALL INFORMATION PROVIDED.
