Community Qualification Criteria

Our Community supports equal housing opportunity, including the Fair Housing Act as amended, a federal law applicable in all states that prohibits discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status or disability. In addition, many states and localities have their own local fair housing laws or ordinances, which may protect additional characteristics from discrimination in housing. Our community does not discriminate on the basis of any state or locally protected characteristics. Please note that these are our current rental criteria; nothing contained in these requirements shall constitute a guarantee or representation that all residents and occupants currently residing at this Community have met these requirements. There may be residents and occupants that have resided at this community prior to these requirements going into effect.

Additionally, our ability to verify whether these requirements have been met is limited to the information we receive from various resident credit reporting services used. Please review this information before completing the application and paying the application processing fee, which is non-refundable. Falsification of information on the application or failure to provide complete information will result in denial of residency and loss of application deposit as liquidated damages for our time and expense.

Parq at Camino requires all applicants to meet the following criteria in order to qualify for this community:

RESIDENCY HISTORY

All occupants 18 and over (except first-time renters) must have at least 12 months of verifiable and positive residency history immediately preceding application. Verification must be performed by a third-party entity. Verification by an individual will not be accepted unless proof of payments on a timely basis is included.
First-time renters or applicants with no verifiable residency history will require payment of an additional deposit or acceptable guarantor in lieu of immediate past rental history.
Residency history that includes prior evictions within the last 5 years, multiple late payments, returned checks, poor housekeeping, conduct disturbing the rights and comforts of other residents, unauthorized occupants, property damage or failure to adhere to the policies and regulations of the community or management company may result in denial of the application or additional conditions.
Landlord reference indicating the landlord would not re-let to the applicant due to lease violation may result in denial of the application.
If Applicant owned his/her immediate prior residence, mortgage history will be verified through credit report or other documentation of home ownership.
First-time renters may be accommodated via deposit, guarantor, or co-sign program.
Entire application is considered, not just one factor.
Outcomes may include approval with additional deposit or co-signer instead of denial.

CRIMINAL HISTORY SCREENING

All applicants (and current residents upon renewal where applicable) will be screened for criminal history.
Criminal history does not result in automatic denial solely based on a conviction. Each application is evaluated based on the nature of the offense, the date of the offense, and the circumstances surrounding it.
Applicants may be approved, approved with conditions, or denied based on the results of this evaluation.
Applicants appearing on federal terrorism or fugitive databases (including OFAC and other law enforcement agency lists) will be denied.
Applicants who wish to dispute or request further review of criminal screening information may submit a written request for additional consideration through the screening process.
All persons 18 and over intending to reside in the apartment must qualify in each of the above categories with the exception that the household's combined income may be used to satisfy the rent to earnings ratio. Any person under the age of 18 intending to occupy the apartment must be identified on the application and listed on the lease or such person will otherwise be considered an unauthorized occupant.

Acceptable guarantors must reside in the United States and qualify in each of the above categories. An additional deposit may be accepted if a qualified guarantor is not available.

OCCUPANCY STANDARDS

Occupancy of the apartment is limited to those persons listed on the lease and is based on the number of bedrooms in a unit. A bedroom is defined as a space within the premises that is used primarily for sleeping, with at least one window and a closet space. Occupancy shall not exceed two persons per bedroom plus one additional person per apartment.

Occupants under the age of 24 months at the time of lease signing or renewal are not counted toward maximum occupancy. Rooms such as a study or den may be considered a bedroom for purposes of maximum occupancy.

Occupants are immediate family members under the age of 18 or legal dependents as indicated on the most recent federal or state income tax form. Occupants must not have any automatic rejections. All others need to apply for lessee status, complete an application and be screened.
