12 Resident Selection Criteria Thank you for your interest in our apartment community. The purpose of this resident selection criteria form is to make you aware of our screening procedures. It is our declared policy of that all persons shall have an equal opportunity for housing regardless of sex, race, color, sexual orientation, disability, religion, national origin, marital status, family status, lawful source of income, age or ancestry, sexual orientation, physical appearance, political beliefs, military discharge and arrest/conviction record. Applications will be processed in the order of which they are received and can take 1 to 4 weeks to be fully processed. If you are denied for any reason you do have the right to reapply or appeal the decision (please see our How to Appeal a Denial in Tenancy section for more details). Your application will be denied if one or more of the following pertain to you: 1) You have provided false or misleading information on your rental application. Information omitted from the rental application will be considered false information. 2) You have not provided us with a written application for residency and/or paid the application fee in the form of a personal check, money order or cashiers check. 3) You do not meet our occupancy limits of no more than 2 persons per bedroom. 4) If applying for low-to-moderate income housing, you do not meet the income and program/student requirements according to the HUD and/or Section 42 guidelines. 5) You have been evicted from an apartment within the past three years. If you were evicted for nonpayment of rent, you will be given the opportunity to prove that your financial situation has changed and we will take that information into consideration. 6) Your conviction record presents a reasonable fear for safety of residents or employees unless more than two years have passed since you were placed on probation, paroled, released from incarceration, or paid the fine. These convictions will include (if found to be substantial in regards to housing): a. Felony drug convictions b. A conviction reportable under the Sex Offender Registry Program with the conviction date being within the last 8 years. (Wisconsin State Statutes : If a court imposes a sentence or places a person on probation for any violation, or for the solicitation, conspiracy, or attempt to commit any violation, under ch. 940, 944, or 948 or ss or to , the court may require the person to comply with the reporting requirements under s if the court determines that the underlying conduct was sexually motivated, as defined in s (5), and that it would be in the interest of public protection to have the person report under s ) 12

13 c. One or more convictions involving murder, child abuse, sexual assault, aggravated assault or assault with a deadly weapon, if found to be substantial in regards to housing. d. Two or more convictions of disturbance to neighbors, injury to persons, destruction of property (including arson, vandalism, theft, burglary, criminal trespass, disorderly conduct) if found to be substantial in regards to housing. 7) No household members are age 18 or older. 8) You have a pending bankruptcy or a bankruptcy that has not been discharged prior to your lease effective date. 9) You are currently in a lease with another landlord in which you are financially responsible for and your income is not large enough to support both rent expenses unless your landlord is releasing you from your lease obligations. 10) You do not have a monthly net income greater than your monthly expenses unless you have assets that are readily available to use as a form of rental payment. All verifiable lawful sources of income are allowed. If you are on Section 8 housing assistance only your portion of rent is considered when calculating your monthly rent expense. We require your income to be at least 1.5 times the amount of your portion of rent unless you can prove you have been able to pay the same amount of rent at a prior leased location for at least one year. 11) At least one adult household member does not meet our imposed scoring system on other reference checks such as housing history, income requirements and credit history. If one adult household member is automatically denied for any reasons listed above, the entire household application will be denied. I agree that I have read the above mentioned Resident Selection Criteria and understand that the Landlord will be checking all references to ensure all criteria has been met. I also understand that I may request a copy of all lease forms and addendums prior to signing said lease/addendums upon my application for residency being approved. Landlord may offer other options such as cosigner, full month security deposit, etc. to cover any selection requirement deficiencies except for those that are automatic denials. If denied for tenancy I may reapply, request a standard follow-up meeting to discuss the denial or follow the appeal process. In the case that my application is denied and the decision is overturned because of an appeal, I understand that the apartment will not be held for me during the appeal process and I will be placed on the waiting list if one exists. Waiting list applications are processed on a first come, first serve basis. Applicant Signature Applicant Signature Applicant Signature 13
