TENANT SELECTION CRITERIA

Welcome, and thank you for applying with Conquest Property Management, Inc. (CPM). We are committed to complying with all applicable laws, including Fair Housing laws, and prohibit discrimination based on color, race, religion, gender, marital status, national origin or ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical conditions, sexual orientation, age or any other consideration made unlawful by federal, state or local laws.
1. APPLICATION – An application must be completed and signed by each individual over 18 years of age applying for residency. An application will not be considered ‘complete’ and will not be processed until all of the following have been provided to us: a separate application has been fully filled out and signed by each legal adult and each co-applicant; the non-refundable application fee has been paid to us; we have received proof of income. Omissions and false information may be grounds for application denial.
2. IDENTIFICATION – A copy of your driver’s license, state picture I. D., Visa or Passport will be required at the time of application submission.
3. RENTAL HISTORY – Current and previous rental history must be verifiable. Any unpaid rental collections, evictions, property damage beyond normal wear and tear, or a previous landlord’s refusal to re-rent shall be grounds for denial. If you are currently under lease with another landlord and (1) you will be breaking the lease or (2) you have not given your required notice to vacate to your current landlord, your application will be denied. Relatives are not accepted as rental references. Please be sure to provide all contact information for current and previous landlords.
4. INCOME REQUIREMENT – Applicants may be denied if the total gross income does not exceed 3-4 times the amount of the monthly rent. Income must be verifiable from an unbiased source (i.e., paystubs from employer, tax returns and/or bank statements). Unemployment compensation, alimony and/or child support will not be considered income unless you can show a valid court order that requires payments to be made and a proven history of consistently receiving payments. Employment history must be verifiable for a minimum of 2 years. If an applicant is self-employed, the applicant must submit prior 2 years’ tax returns and last 12 months’ bank statements.
5. CREDIT – A credit check will be performed and used for approval. Your credit report must show trade lines demonstrating your ability to meet your financial obligations. Applications may be rejected for unpaid collections or judgments, amounts owed on delinquent accounts, amounts past due on accounts, numbers of delinquent accounts and/or too few accounts rated ‘current’.
6. NOTICE TO OR FROM CO-APPLICANTS – Any notice CPM gives you or your co-applicant is considered notice to all applicants and co-applicants.
7. SIGNATURE – Our receipt of this application is consent only to this Application Agreement. It does not bind us to accept an applicant.
8. AGENCY DISCLOSURE – CPM agents are acting as agents for the landlord and do not represent prospective tenants. Although CPM agents may show ‘For Lease’ properties to prospective tenants, they are not acting as tenant representatives.
9. CPM reserves the right to reject any application due to any one of or a combination of the following, without limitation:
Falsification of information; incomplete application or insufficient application information; credit score of 599 or less; credit showing delinquent accounts with collection balances due; foreclosures, bankruptcies, liens against the applicant for taxes or child support, judgments against the applicant for evictions or property damage; rental history showing excessive late payments, NSF checks, property damage, lease violations; insufficient income; writing NSF checks; conviction of illegal manufacture or distribution of a controlled substance or other legal convictions. CPM’s standard residential qualifying criteria are subject to change from time to time without notice.
10. APPLICATION APPROVAL – We will not hold any vacant property for more than 14 days from the application approval date. Upon application approval, the security deposit must be paid within 2 hours of approval. Once the deposit is paid, it is non-refundable. If the deposit is not paid in full in the allotted time frame, the property will be leased to the next qualified applicant.
Unless Landlord and Applicant(s) enter into a separate written agreement, the Property remains on the market and Landlord will continue to show the Property and accept applications and until your qualified application is approved, the security deposit has been paid in full (within 2 hours of approval), and the Lease Contract is signed by all adults and all co-applicants within 3 business days of approval.
11. THE LEASE CONTRACT – The Lease Contract must be signed within 3 business days after we give you our approval in person, by telephone or by email. If you or any co-applicant fails to sign as required, we may keep the security deposit as liquidated damages, and terminate all further obligations under this Agreement. Once the Lease Contract has been signed, and the lease terms have been fulfilled, your security deposit will be fully refundable upon move-out, depending on the condition of the property.
