RESIDENT QUALIFYING CRITERIA

 In order to assist you with your decision on your new home, we are providing a list of our guidelines used to qualify applicants for residency. Nothing contained in these requirements shall constitute representation by Liddell’s Rentals that all residents and occupants currently residing in our dwellings have met or currently meet these guidelines. Our policy is to require everyone aged 18 or over to be a leaseholder and therefore, must be approved as a leaseholder. Subject to compliance with applicable laws, qualification standards include, but are not limited to, the following criteria:

SCREENING REQUIREMENT

All prospective tenants must complete a screening questionnaire that uses the criteria below to determine eligibility to submit an application. If you meet the initial screening requirements, you will receive an email with instructions for submitting a rental application. Please allow three (3) business days for this email to arrive before inquiring.

APPLICATION

A rental application must be submitted listing all persons who will be occupying the dwelling (adults and children). A non-refundable application processing fee of $31.50 per adult must be paid before we can access your application. Applications are processed in the order they are received.

AGE REQUIREMENT

Applicants must be at least 21 years of age.

Applicants must submit with their application valid government issued photo identification for each person age 18 years and older that will be living in the apartment.

All applicants must have a minimum one-year verifiable rental history, past and present. For home owners, 6-months canceled checks from Mortgage Company showing prompt payment must be provided, or written verification from Mortgage Company or credit reporting agency.

CREDIT HISTORY

Our credit reporting agency evaluates credit and rental history against indicators of future rent payment performance. An unsatisfactory or insufficient finding may result in the requirement of an additional deposit, guarantor, or denial. Applicants are responsible for ensuring their credit history is accurate.

GUARANTORS

If a guarantor is needed, he/she must meet the entire qualifying criteria as presented within this notice. All guarantors must have a verifiable source of income in an amount no less than five (5) times the rental rate. The guarantor must meet the criteria presented within throughout the entire duration of the applicable lease period.

CRIMINAL HISTORY

Our investigation includes criminal background screening. It is possible your application may be denied due to criminal convictions. We conduct background screening on leaseholders and occupants.

OCCUPANCY

Maximum occupancy is no more than two persons per bedroom. In addition, there can be a maximum of 2 adults per unit (exceptions: children of applicant over the age of 18; person with caretakers; other exceptions on case-by-case basis.)

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, an applicant denied for unsatisfactory credit (or other reasons obtained from a reporting agency) will be mailed a denial letter with the name and phone number of agencies used to make this determination.
