The following are the criteria that will be used to assess applicants for this property. - Complete application from each occupant older than 18. - On-time arrival to rental showing appointment - Verifiable employment or source of income - Good credit history free of negative credit issues which may indicate an applicant is high-risk and / or indicates a pattern of payment delinquency.
