Recent bankruptcy is defined as being filed with in the last two years. If positive credit has been established after the two-year period of proof considered. If an application is denied due to poor credit, applicant will be notified and provided with the name, address and phone number or the credit bureau to obtain a copy of their report.
CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK:
A Criminal Background Check reporting the conviction of specific crimes will result in denial of the application. Specific crimes such as: Violent Crimes, which include any convictions with the use of firearms or other weapons. Crimes of a sexual nature including but not limited to child molestation. Crimes against property or person, such as theft and arson. Convictions of dug manufacturing, sales or distribution.

Guarantor responsibilities include paying of rent, and payment for damages should the resident default in areas of the lease agreement.
