Due to the high demand for rental properties, we will not hold the property you applied for off the rental market for more than 72 hours. If you do not comply with this requirement, we may rent the property you applied for to someone else. All applicants must see the interior of the property before an application can be submitted. The property must be accepted in AS IS condition before an application can be accepted, except where requested as part of this application and accepted in writing by Allison Ables Property Management or If your maintenance and repair request are acceptable to the property owner and Allison Ables Property Management, then the agreement will be written in the lease or lease addendum. Verbal representations are non-binding. In the event that the manager receives two or more unrelated applications for the same property, the applicant understands the owner may select the applicant desiring the property in AS-IS condition, over another applicant requesting maintenance or repairs. In all cases the application fee is non-refundable. Page 1 of 9

3 MORE INFORMATION Security deposits: are security for faithful performance by tenants of all terms, covenants, and conditions of the lease agreement and tenants may not dictate that the security deposit be used for any rent due. Unless claimed due to a breach of lease or damages, the security deposit is refundable when the tenants move out of the property at the expiration of the lease term. The minimum security deposit amount is equal to the monthly rental rate. Any exceptions to these criteria will need to be submitted in writing to Allison Ables Property Management for presentation to the landlord for consideration. Multiple Applications: If multiple applications are received for the same property, we will process all applications for consideration. In order to evaluate the various applications, it is necessary for Allison Ables Property Management to expend time and cost in credit reports, criminal reports and other administrative costs. Hence, it is our policy that the application fee is non-refundable. If your application is approvable, but not the approved one for the property for which you are applying, you may consider applying for other available properties that we may have, without payment of an additional application fee, for up to 30 days after the original application date listed on this application.
