APARTMENT AVAILABILITY - Applications for apartment homes
will be accepted on a first come – first serve basis and are
subject to the availability of the particular apartment type
requested. “Availability” does not necessarily mean that an
apartment will definitely be available for occupancy by an
applicant at the estimated date. “Available” apartments
include those where a “Notice to Vacate” has been submitted
by an existing resident indicating an intention to vacate on
or about a certain date. Under certain circumstances, we
will permit current residents who are not in default of
their lease to withdraw or change their notice of moving.
Other circumstances not necessarily under management’s
control may also delay the date of availability of an
apartment. In addition, an apartment may not be considered
available because it is about to be placed under contract as
an application has been made and a deposit placed to hold
the apartment. If the applicant’s credit is not approved or
if the applicant fails to sign a Lease by the specified
date, then the apartment would again become available.
Whether a particular unit or type of apartment is available
can vary significantly within several hours or a day.
OCCUPANCY - Our community limits the number of occupants
based on the apartment size according to the following
guidelines:
Unit occupancy is not to exceed two persons per bedroom,
plus a child who is less than six months old and who sleeps
in the same bedroom with the child’s parent, guardian, legal
custodian, or person applying for that status. If the number
of people applying for a single apartment exceeds the
property's guidelines, the application will be rejected for
that particular size of apartment. If a resident, who has a
newborn less than six months old at the time of rental
application or lease renewal, moves into an apartment that,
once the newborn reaches the age of six months, violates the
occupancy guidelines, the resident is required to either (1)
move into another available apartment which has more
bedrooms leased at the current market rent; or (2) move out.
Rent for the larger apartment will be the current market
rent for that particular apartment and a transfer fee will
be due. For the purposes of this occupancy policy, a
“family” shall consist of the following persons: one or more
individuals (who have not attained the age of 18 years)
being domiciled with: (1) a parent or another person having
legal custody of such individual or individuals; or (2) the
designee of such parent or other person having such custody,
with the written permission of such parent or other person.
The term “family” shall also apply to any person who is
pregnant or is in the process of securing legal custody of
any individual who has not attained the age of 18 years. Our
policy is to conform to local and state requirements to the
extent that they require a different standard than stated
here.
