6. No prior evictions, judgments, collections or liens from former landlords. No negative notices of any kind issued by present or previous landlords...negative rental references will result in denial of your application.

7. No collections from utility companies.

8. No more than 3 tenants (including children 18 years or younger of primary applicant or co-applicant) to a 1 bedroom unit or 5 tenants to a 2 bedroom unit--OR a reasonable number of tenants given the size of a unit. This is a rule of thumb. The number of tenants reasonably allowed at a given property will be detertmined by the property manager &/or the owner of the property. 

9. AVPM prefers to see no criminal history, but certain infractions will be looked at on a case by case basis.  AVPM will look at the overall "Big Picture" when pertaining to felonies, a felony will not necessarily exclude you from being approved, but the felony conviction will be reviewed along with applicant's other information as part of the "Big Picture."

10. ALL prospective tenants age 18 and older (including children) must truthfully and completely fill out and sign application paperwork and pay the required non-refundable application processing fee of $25 per individual. AVPM does not rent to minors, unless formally emancipated with verification of such and meeting all other requirements.

11. Applicant must provide current official picture I.D. such as driver's license or state issued I.D.card. Proof of Social Security Number (SSN) is required in order for AVPM to run necessary credit report, etc. Copies of a current/past pay stubs/proof of income will be required. Other documentation may become necessary in the course of screening.

12. Applicant must pay full rent amount due and full deposit required PRIOR to occupancy.

13. If pets are allowed at a property a full pet deposit or pet fee is required PRIOR to occupancy. The standard pet deposit is $250 per pet, but pet deposits or fees vary from property owner to property owner...please inquire regarding the specific property.

14. All information on rental application and/or credit report must be able to be verified (i.e., accurate phone numbers, account numbers, etc. MUST be provided by prospective tenants). Failure to provide this will result in delay or denial of application.

15. Credit: we want  to see "good" credit for all applicants. In order to be approved all applicants should have a credit score of at least 600, according to the reporting agency that we use.   Applicants should know that their credit history will impact our decision making. AVPM does not accept credit/criminal background reports from outside sources. We contract/run these verifications through VeriFirst, a screening company.  If applicants don't meet credit criteria there MAY possibly be alternate means of approval depending on the rest of an applicant's "BIG PICTURE," but AVPM, Inc. is not obligated to offer these alternatives. 

16. Information provided on application MUST be truthful. If found to be less than truthful, whether by providing false information or by omission, application may be denied, or if already placed in a property when untruth discovered, applicant may be required to vacate/be evicted.

Failure to meet the above criteria will result in one or more of the following:

* Denial of rental application.
* Requiring a qualified Co-Signer. This option is not always available. Co-signers do not fix   everything...and not all property owners will accept them.
* Requiring an additional security deposit if applicant is deemed to be more of a "risk" based on not meeting or exceeding the above criteria .
