After acceptance, all rental forms should be signed within two days with first month s rent, security deposit (holding deposit) and any fees paid at that time or upon agreement at move in. We will make a lease signing appointment to review all important items or if tenants are not in town, other arrangements can be made to accomplish this. QUALIFICATION STANDARDS Gross Monthly Income Total monthly income of all qualified applicants must be at least three times the amount of the monthly rental rate. If currently unemployed, the following documents must be presented and verified: Last year s tax return indicating income meeting the income requirements and a savings account balance equal to six months rent.

EXCEPTIONS TO STANDARDS ADVERSE ACTION OPTIONS Sometimes due to extenuating circumstances, exceptions to one area of the above standards may be considered, often with some adverse action being required.
