Equal Housing Opportunity Policy. It is Management's policy to provide housing for all applicants without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, or disability. Management and the
owner of this apartment community are Equal Housing Opportunity providers. It is also Management's policy to provide or allow reasonable accommodations and modifications to our rental policies and
apartment community to persons with demonstrated disabilities. If applicable, the applicant or resident must provide sufficient information about the need for any such accommodation or modification and allow
Management sufficient time to review and approve the same. Because the property already meets all accessibility requirements, the cost of most modifications will be the responsibility of the applicant or
resident. Applicant or resident agrees to provide or supplement information regarding any such requests for accommodations or modifications promptly in writing upon management's request.
Good Faith Deposit. Applicant understands and agrees that the Good Faith Deposit and other Deposits or Non-Refundable fees paid will be returned if applicant is not accepted as a resident. Applicant will have
hours after submitting this application to withdraw the application and receive a full refund of the Good Faith Deposit. The notice of withdrawal must be in writing. The application fees, however,
are non-refundable. If Applicant does not withdraw the application within the time specified above and Applicant is approved for occupancy, the Applicant agrees to sign a rental contract and take possession of
an apartment. If the Applicant does not withdraw the application by written notice within the time specified above and is approved for occupancy but fails or refuses to sign a rental contract and take
possession of the apartment on or before the anticipated move-in date (above), the Good Faith Deposit and other deposits or non-refundable fees shall be retained by Management as liquidated
damages. If the number of hours to withdraw the application is not specified above, Applicant will only have 24 hours to withdraw the application and receive a refund of the good faith deposit and
other deposits and non-refundable fees. Applicant acknowledges that the Good Faith Deposit is not a security deposit; however, upon signing a rental contract, the Good Faith Deposit will be applied toward
any Security Deposit or Non-Refundable Fees specified in the Rental Contract. In the event Applicant defaults under the terms of this Application, Applicant acknowledges that Management shall keep the Good
Faith Deposit and other deposits and non-refundable fees as liquidated damages which are compensation for holding the apartment off the market. Applicant agrees that the amount of lost rent in holding the
apartment off the market is unknown and that this provision is intended as a good faith estimate of Management's damages in the event of Applicant's default. The Good Faith Deposit does not constitute a
security deposit.
Rental Qualification Criteria. Applicant understands and agrees that the rental application will be reviewed using business judgment, decisional criteria, a point scoring system, or a combination of those
systems. In order to qualify for housing, the applicant must have good rental, credit, and criminal background histories. Applicant must demonstrate the financial ability to afford the apartment under
Management's rental qualification criteria. A co-signor or guarantor is not a substitute for unacceptable rental, credit, or criminal background histories. Poor rental history because of disapproval of co-signor's,
roommate's, or guarantor's application or because of a prior history of late payments, lease violations, failure to give proper notice, or damages exceeding normal wear and tear may result in denial of the
applicant's rental application. However, the lack of a rental history may not necessarily result in a denial of the application. While co-applicants (either as spouses or roommates), co-signor's, and guarantors may
be allowed in order to meet the rental qualifications, each of those persons must meet the rental qualification criteria applicable to his or her particular rental application circumstances. Applicant must
demonstrate a certain earning level or source of income, savings or assets sufficient to insure the ability of the applicant to pay the monthly rent and living expenses, taking into account any revolving, recurring,
or monthly debt from credit cards and loans. Self employed applicants may need to provide income tax returns and other business financial records (such as income and expense statements, asset statements,
and personal net worth statements). Self employed persons and corporate renters may be required to pay an additional application fee to obtain Dunn and Bradstreet credit reports on themselves or their
companies and submit income tax returns. Unemployed or retired applicants may need to provide additional financial documentation of ability to pay rent.
Availability of Apartment Desired or Requested. At the time of this Application, applicant has expressed interest in a particular floor plan or type of apartment and may have requested occupancy of a specific
apartment which was shown and listed as the desired unit and occupancy date above. Management cannot guarantee that the particular unit desired will be available on the date requested by the applicant as
there are many variables which could result in delay or unavailability of the apartment unit. Applicant agrees to take occupancy of a comparable apartment offered by Management that reasonably matches the
applicant's desired floor plan and move-in date. Applicant understands that Management may not be able to provide the desired apartment, floor plan, or move-in date if applicant changes his or her planned or
expected move-in date. Unavailability of the desired apartment on the desired date does not relieve applicant from his or her contractual obligations under this contract.
Applicant's Rental Decision. Applicant has either asked about or review the Apartment Rental Contract and Addenda he or she is expected to sign upon approval of this application. Applicant agrees that he or
she has fully questioned Management regarding any important information about rental of an apartment at this community. Applicant is satisfied with the responses to his or her questions and is fully informed as
to all information needed to make his or her decision to apply for an apartment. Applicant understands that not all apartments in the community have line of sight to receive satellite communications and that
Management cannot guarantee high speed internet access. Applicant understands that there are limitations on the number of persons who may occupy an apartment unit, usually expressed as the HUD approved
standard which allows Management to limit occupancy to no more than two persons per bedroom or sleeping space. Applicant understands and agrees that he or she must pay for all utilities and services
supplied to the apartment, including, but not limited to, water and waste water; sanitation; pest control; electricity; natural gas; cable; phone and other telecommunication services. Applicant is aware that any
rental concessions offered may be available only for limited times and that Applicant must comply with all conditions required to receive the concession without having to be responsible for reimbursing
Management for the rental value of the concession. Such conditions include fully completing the expected term of the contract without defaulting under the lease and without using any early termination
provision. Applicant has had the opportunity to ask questions about the existence of crime in the apartment community and fully understands that Management and the Owner of the apartment community do not
provide security or security devices which are intended to detect, deter, or report crimes committed. Applicant understands and agrees that there are limitations on the size, number, and type of motor vehicles or
other transportation, boats, trailers, and equipment which may be used or stored on the apartment property. Only authorized motor vehicles may be used or parked on the property. In general no apartment may
have more than two automobiles per apartment unit; however, applicant has specifically inquired about and understands the content of parking rules and regulations he or she will be expected to sign if approved
for occupancy. Applicant fully understands that any false or misleading information provided to Management during the rental application process could lead to termination or eviction from the apartment
community at a later date after taking occupancy once Management learns that the information provided was false, misleading, or inaccurate. The specification of a particular apartment as the one desired by
applicant does not constitute a representation or promise by Management that the apartment specified will in fact be available on the desired date. Management may notify applicant either verbally or in writing
once the application has been approved. After applicant has been approved or after Management has notified applicant that an apartment is ready for occupancy, applicant must promptly sign a lease and take
occupancy of the apartment in order to avoid losing the good faith deposit and non-refundable fees.

NON-REFUNDABLE FEES IF YOUR APPLICATION IS APPROVED AND YOU FAIL TO SIGN A LEASE OR TAKE OCCUPANCY OF THE APARTMENT.

applicant as a resident under any rental contract with management. Any employers, banks, landlords, businesses, consumer reporting agencies, or other third parties are entitled to rely on the undersigned's

payment to be mailed to applicant in care of contact persons named in Section 6 above.
