Tenant Screening and Rental Application Policy

This explains our rental and occupancy standards and our requirements for all potential tenants.

  • Rental Application Process Your application to rent from us must be made on our application. The rental application needs to be filled our completely and accurately. We will not process an incomplete application. Any misstatement or omissions made on your application, whether or not discovered before you move into the building, is grounds for denial of an application or termination of an existing tenancy. Information must also be verifiable. If information given to us on the application cannot be checked out and verified, this is a valid basis for rejection.
  • Identification Every adult that will be living in the apartment is required to complete a rental application. A government issued photo ID and a social security card or birth certificate will be required as evidence of your identity. If either of these identifications is not available; management will require additional documentation to verify your name and social security number.
  • Screening Service Management uses the tenant screening service below:

    CBC Innovis, Inc. (417-345-1532)
    2519 NW 23rd Street
    Oklahoma City, OK 73107 55343

    The screening fee charged by Management is applied to the costs of our resident screening and the use of the tenant screening service. We will not take an application or a screening fee unless we have an apartment available, or reasonably believe that an apartment will be available in the future.
  • Lease Paperwork and Payments Applicants approved for occupancy will not be entitled to an apartment until they sign all lease paperwork and pay a security deposit and any rent required as of the time of signing. Management requires that its forms of lease paperwork, and any applicable addendum or rules, be signed. For apartments, the normal lease term offered by Management is a 12 month lease with a sixty day notice. Exceptions will only be made at the manager/owner's discretion.
  • Occupancy Maximum occupancy is two people per bedroom.
  • Minimum Income Household income must be equal to 2½ times the amount of monthly rent for the apartment. To be counted as household income, amounts must be verifiable, reliable, and predictable.
  • Housing History You must provide the name and last known telephone numbers of each landlord/property manager for each address you have had for the last three years. Roommate references are not acceptable. Failure to disclose an address of record in the last three years is cause for rejection of your application. Positive rental references are one of the most important things Management looks at in screening applicants. The refusal of a current or prior landlord to give a reference, or a negative reference, will be grounds for rejection of your application. In the case of first time renters, young people, or students, Management reserves the right to vary this requirement if all other aspects of the screening appear positive and/or applicant is able to obtain a co-signer that would be approved by management, or pay an amount for advance rent. We may also vary it for prior homeowners.
  • Eviction Filings Unlawful detainer or eviction case history will be checked. Eviction actions within the past three years for rent, or unlawful detainer actions in the past six years for other reasons, may be a basis for rejection of your application.
  • Credit References Bank and credit references will be checked. An adverse bank or credit reference or the absence of a credit history may be grounds for rejection of an application. A bankruptcy or adverse credit report within the past twelve (12) months is ground for rejection.
  • Criminal History The following criminal convictions are the basis for rejection of an application: conviction for a felony; conviction within the past ten (10) years for anything greater than a misdemeanor but less than a felony; conviction within the past two (2) years for misdemeanor. All registered sex offenders will be rejected.
  • Business Relationship The relationship between a landlord and tenant is a business relationship. A courteous and business-like attitude is required from both parties. We reserve the right to refuse rental to anyone who is verbally abusive, swears, is disrespectful, makes threats, has been drinking, is argumentative, or in general displays an attitude at the time of the apartment showing and application process that causes management to believe we would not have a positive business relationship.
  • Animals and Pets Animals will be allowed at the discretion of management. A separate pet agreement will be signed by both parties and a fee will apply according to what type of animal and quantity.
  • Exceptions Exceptions may be considered for applicants who did not have a housing history because they are first time renters, or applicants who are on the borderline for acceptance because of household income and credit reasons. Exceptions are based solely on the discretion of management and will depend on the overall strength of the balance of the applicant's application and will require the prospective tenant to pay an additional security deposit.
  • Equal Opportunity Management is an equal opportunity housing provider. We do not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, marital status, religion, familial status, disability, sexual orientation, age, or status with respect to receipt of public assistance.
