Your application may be processed in anticipation of an upcoming vacancy and will be held for the next available vacant unit. 2. Third party verification will be obtained from all related sources to confirm certain components of the eligibility/qualification requirements; for example, income, assets, landlord references, and preference eligibility. 3. It is your responsibility to inform the management in writing of any change to the information on your preapplication or application (e.g., address, household size, and total household income).

4 A full, detailed Resident Selection Criteria describing application and qualification processes is available to all applicants in the Leasing or Management Office or electronically if requested. The lottery process that determines the waiting list position of applicants after the waiting list is opened is a two-part process. The first part includes entry of applicants into the lottery system by MidPen staff after a determination of initial eligibility. The second part is an automated system that randomly selects and places applicants on the waiting list for the unit size requested. While the potential for error is greatly reduced from earlier lottery methods, the potential still exists. In the event there is an error that causes Applicant to inadvertently be excluded from the lottery and the resulting waiting list, Applicant agrees to be placed at the end of the waiting list. Applicant acknowledges and agrees that being placed at the end of the waiting list is the only recourse for a mistake on the behalf of Applicant, Management, or a technical problem.
