The real property and the non-real-property are collectively called the "Property". TERM: The lease duration is month-to-month SMOKING: No smoking or use of illegal substances EMPLOYMENT HISTORY: Previous and current employment history will be verified. Allowances from other sources of income such as alimony, child support, retirement income, commissions or tips will require written verification. This community will not accept an "offer letter" from a prospective or new employer as the sole source of employment history - proof of previous employment prior to the effective date of the offer letter will still need to be provided. In the event the applicant is self-employed, written verification of two years income (such as tax returns) must be provided. FEES/DEPOSITS: Each applicant may be required to pay a non-refundable application fee for verification of information and credit approval. A good faith deposit may also be requested with the Application for Residency. A portion of that deposit amount will be non-refundable. If the application is accepted, the payment will be applied toward the required amounts, and if for any reason management decides to decline the application, management will refund the good faith deposit in full. If the application is approved and the applicant fails to sign a lease or take occupancy of the premises on the agreed date, management may retain the good faith deposit as liquidated damages for the amount of rent lost and any expenses incurred due to the cancellation. RESIDENTIAL HISTORY: Present and previous residence may be verified for all applicants and proposed occupants. We must obtain verification of a satisfactory rental history for the past two years, which includes timely rent payments, proper notice of cancellation or non-renewal, no outstanding balances or history of lease violations. All applicants who have been previously evicted will be declined. The head of the household must be 18 years or older, physically occupy the apartment and meet all criteria. INCOME VERIFICATION: The gross monthly income must equal two and a half times the monthly rent per household. If a Lease Contract Guarantor is required or authorized, the Guarantor gross monthly income must also equal four times the monthly rent in order to qualify as a Guarantor. All monthly income will be verified. Income verification is required prior to final approval of the application for residency. One or more of the following documents must be submitted by the Applicant or Guarantor within 48 hours of the date of application: Last two paycheck stubs, current bank statement showing recurring payroll deposits, last year's income tax return. Applicants whose proof of income is bank statements showing cash deposits will need to provide verification of income via tax returns. CREDIT: A complete investigation of credit history of each applicant will be made and will require a satisfactory rating. CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS: We perform criminal background checks in accordance with applicable federal and state laws, including all state and federal fair housing laws with respect to our criteria. Your signature on the Application for Residency authorizes us to check not only your credit history, but also to conduct a review of your criminal history to check for any arrests or convictions. You and all occupants over the age of 18 will be required to answer questions on the application stating whether you have been convicted or arrested of a crime; and, if so, what the crime was, when and where it occurred and the disposition of that charge. An unsatisfactory criminal background check revealing conviction of or deferred adjudication of certain serious offenses may result in denial of your application. However, not all crimes disqualify you from living at the community. Crimes that result in denial of residency are those which pose a serious threat to the health, safety and welfare of persons living and working in our community, taking into account not only the type of crime but also the circumstances under which it occurred. In this regard, felony convictions (including adjudications based upon either guilty pleas or no contest pleas), indictments, arraignments or any charge or pending charge resulting in "Adjudication Withheld" or "Deferred Adjudication" for any of the following crimes at any time by you or any proposed occupant over the age of 18 will result in denial of your application: (A) the illegal manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance under the federal Controlled Substances Act or any similar state laws; (B) criminal acts against the elderly, children or minors, including enticing, endangering, injury to or obscenity with a child; (C) arson, including arson resulting in injury; (D) murder (any class), including attempted murder; (F) manslaughter; (G) rape; (H) armed robbery; (I) vehicular homicide; (J) any sex crime, including but not limited to sexual assault, enticing, injury to or obscenity with a child, sexual molestation, obscenity, indecent exposure, sexual molestation, public lewdness, prostitution, rape (including statutory rape) or a listing on any local, state or federal database as a Sexual Predator or Offender; (K) indecent exposure; (L) compelling prostitution; (M) the illegal trafficking of persons; (N) property related crimes, including breaking and entering, theft (which is defined to include both robbery & burglary), grand larceny, malicious injury to property, receiving stolen property, shoplifting, theft and vandalism; (O) violence-related crimes such as physical assault or assault with a weapon, battery, and kidnapping; or (P) major family-relations related crimes such as abandonment, abuse or domestic violence. A felony or misdemeanor conviction, indictment, arraignment or any charge or pending charge resulting in "Adjudication Withheld" or "Deferred Adjudication" for any of the following crimes listed herein by you or any proposed occupant over the age of 18 may result in a denial of your application, if such occurred within the past seven (7) years: (A) terrorism or terroristic threat; (B) minor property-related crimes including but not limited to aiding and abetting theft, petty theft, trespass, fireworks-related crimes and tampering; (C) fraud-related crimes such as counterfeiting, credit card abuse, embezzlement, forgery, identity theft, insurance fraud, welfare fraud and the like; (D) computer/telecommunications related crimes such as cable theft, computer stalking, hacking and the like; (E) minor family-relations-related crimes such as harboring a runaway child, non-support, truancy and the like; (F) obscenity; (G) criminal mischief over $200.00 or probation violation; (H) unlawful carrying of a weapon; (I) pornography; (J) crimes against animals, such as cruelty to animals; (K) crimes against public justice, such as assault on a police officer, contempt, delivering drugs or weapons to a prisoner and the like; (L) gambling-related crimes; (M) crimes related to organized crime; (M) certain alcohol-related crimes such as aggravated DWI, DUI causing an injury and the like; or (N) the illegal possession of a controlled substance.

Upon conviction, the Lease Agreement will be terminated immediately.
