Please read before submitting your application.
The purpose of this application is to determine whether I qualify as a tenant. If my application is approved, the landlord and I shall sign a written lease. I have no rental agreement with the landlord before the time of the lease signing.
Receipt in the sum of $0.00 is hereby acknowledged. This deposit is to be returned to the applicant if the application is rejected. The earnest money deposit will be applied to my security deposit or my first month’s rent if the landlord enters into a lease or rental agreement with me. If this application is approved, and I fail to enter into a lease or rental agreement, the earnest money and any subsequent payments may be retained to compensate the landlord’s costs and damages, subject to the landlord’s duty to mitigate. At the time the lease is signed, the applicant agrees to pay the entire security deposit due plus the balance of the first month’s rent. If the applicant refuses to sign the lease after the application has been approved, actual charges incurred will be deducted from the deposit and the balance, if any, refunded.
I hereby authorize the landlord and manager to investigate my credit and financial responsibility, income, rental and eviction history, and the statements made in this application, and to obtain a consumer credit report on me from a consumer reporting agency that compiles and maintains files on consumers on a nationwide basis. My performance under any lease or rental agreement that I may enter into with the landlord may be reported to such reporting agency.
I acknowledge that the manager and the agents and employees thereof represent the interests of the landlord, but they also have a duty to treat all parties fairly and in accordance with fair housing law, and to disclose material adverse facts about the property.
A guarantor may be requested if applicant does not qualify. If requested, a co-signer or guarantor form must be signed, returned, and approved before occupancy. In no way will applicant be relieved of duty of lease if the co-signer form is not returned.
The undersigned agrees that the landlord shall have up to twenty-one (21) calendar days from acceptance of the earnest money deposit to approve or deny the rental application. Not less than seven (7) days after the start of the tenancy, tenant may request, in writing, that landlord provide tenant with a list of physical damages or defects, if any, charged to the previous tenant’s security deposit.
This application is not a rental agreement, contract, or a lease. All applications are subject to approval of owner or managing agent. I warrant and represent that I am of at least 18 years of age and that all information and answers to the above questions are true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that providing false information or making false statements may be grounds for denial of my application. I also understand that such action may result in criminal penalties. I understand that my occupancy is contingent on meeting management’s resident selection criteria.
I hereby authorize all persons or entities listed herein to release any information in their possession known to them concerning me. A copy of this application shall serve as the authority for the release of any said information. I further authorize Compass Management, and its employees and agents, to make such inquiries as deemed necessary for action and determination upon this application. Applicant is entitled to review the lease, rules and regulations, and any other forms as may be required for occupancy, and in signing this form attests that they have in fact done so to their satisfaction.
Management reserves the right to require W-2 forms, check stubs, or other documentation of income at time of application or lease renewal. The Fair Credit Reporting Act, Public Law 91-508, requires that we notify you that as part of our normal procedure a routine inquiry will be made. This inquiry will provide applicable information concerning character, general reputation, and mode of living. Upon written request, additional information as to the nature and scope of the report, if one is made, will be provided. Occupancy limit is 2 persons per bedroom.
