Application Process – What You Need to Know

Buyer Beware – Possible Reasons for Denial

Property owners may deny an application based on lawful, non-discriminatory criteria, which may include but are not limited to:

1. A foreclosure within the past 12 months

2. A bankruptcy discharged less than 12 months ago

3. Continuing negative credit history

4. A prior eviction filing within the past 12 months, unpaid rent, or landlord judgments

5. A criminal conviction, evaluated on a case-by-case basis, considering:

   • Nature of the offense

   • Time elapsed since conviction

   • Relevance to housing safety or property protection

Note: Arrests without conviction are not considered. Criminal history is evaluated only where legally permissible and in compliance with Fair Housing guidance.

Each application is reviewed consistently and individually, and no single factor automatically results in denial unless required by the property owner or applicable law.

Rent Payment Policy

• Rent is due on the 1st day of each month.

• Rent is considered late after the 5th day, and late fees apply beginning on the 6th day of the month, as permitted by Missouri law and the lease agreement.

• Rent payments are used to cover essential expenses including mortgages, maintenance, repairs, taxes, insurance, licensing fees, and in some cases utilities. Timely payment is critical.

Returned Payments

If a rent payment is returned by your financial institution for any reason:

• Rent may be required to be paid using certified funds for a minimum of one (1) year

• You may lose eligibility for any reliable tenant or preferred payment programs

• Additional fees or rent adjustments may apply as allowed by the lease and applicable law
