Screening Criteria

IT IS THE POLICY OF THIS PROPERTY TO RENT TO QUALIFIED PERSONS REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR, RELIGION, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, HANDICAP OR FAMILY STATUS AND IN COMPLIANCE OF ALL FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAWS.

Occupancy standards vary by location and jurisdiction based on the size of the available units and/or any local ordinances regarding occupancy standards.

1. Verifications. This community utilizes an Identity Verification service. This service may contact you via text to verify your identity as part of the application process. Government issued photo identification will need to be presented by all applicants and co-signors [who are present at the property]. All applicants are required to have a verifiable income. Certain verifiable income levels may be required. Examples of identification and income verification documents can be provided by contacting the management office.

2. Occupancy Background. CLK maintains a list of former residents who are excluded from renting at any property managed by us because of a negative previous occupancy history at one of our properties. If your application is rejected because of a negative previous occupancy history at one of our properties, you will be given the name, address and telephone number of the consumer-reporting agency where you can obtain a copy of this information. An applicant rejected for a negative previous occupancy history at one of our properties is encouraged to obtain a copy of the occupancy report, correct any erroneous information that may be on the report and submit a new application to this community for further consideration.

3. Scoring of your Consumer Credit Report. CLK uses an empirically derived, statistically sound, credit scoring system to evaluate your consumer credit report. Credit scoring is based on real data and statistics, including income ratio and your consumer credit report, so it treats all applicants objectively. Your consumer credit report contains information about you and your credit experiences, such as, your bill-payment history, the number and type of accounts that you have, late payments, collection actions, outstanding debt, and the age of your accounts. Using a statistical program, we compare this information to the credit performance of other applicants with similar profiles which allows us to predict how likely it is that you will pay your rent in a timely manner and fulfill your other lease obligations. If you would like information regarding how to improve your credit score, please let us know and we will provide you with more detailed information regarding this process. Based upon your credit score, your application will either be accepted, rejected or accepted on the condition that an additional nonrefundable administrative fee and/or security deposit be paid. If your application is rejected or is accepted with conditions, you will be given the name, address and telephone number of the consumer reporting agencies, which provided your consumer information to us. An applicant rejected for unsatisfactory credit is encouraged to obtain a copy of the credit report, correct any erroneous information that may be on the report and submit a new application to this community for further consideration.

4. Criminal Background Search (for use with Criminal Recommendation Product). If your application is accepted or accepted with conditions, we will conduct a criminal background search. It is our policy not to lease to applicants who have been arrested or convicted of certain felonies or misdemeanors. We have a pre-defined selection configuration, which has been provided to our Criminal Search vendor. Prior to final acceptance of any applicant, our Criminal Search vendor will search for criminal background information on each applicant. If a report is found, it will be compared to our pre-selected criteria and a determination regarding whether an applicant meets our criteria will be made. If your application is rejected based upon our pre-selected criteria, you will be given the name, address and telephone number of the consumer reporting agencies, which provided your criminal information to us. An applicant rejected for an unsatisfactory criminal background is encouraged to obtain a copy of the criminal report, correct any erroneous information that may be on the report and submit a new application to this community for further consideration.
