2. Credit
   Management will request a credit history through NTN Online, taking into consideration timely payments, the prospective resident’s debt-to-income ratio and the anticipated rental amount. Marginal or bad credit may result in an increased security deposit or denial of the application.

3. Residential/Rental History
   The prospective resident must have at least one (1) year of acceptable rental history in the last four (4) years that can be verified or be a recent college or technical student.

   Any applicants who have been determined to have criminal conviction or current indictment for possession, sale, manufacture or distribution of controlled substances or for any crimes involving firearms or crimes against persons or property will be denied residency and occupancy. This includes all felonies and Class C Misdemeanors.  Management reserves the right to deny residency and occupancy for any criminal activity at their discretion. Guarantors/co-signers cannot be a substitute for this requirement.
