Commercial Rental Criteria (Artist Space/ Office Space/ Retail Space)

Before you begin:

Please note: There may be multiple applications submitted for the same apartment when you submit your application. We will

only run 1 application at a time on a first come first served basis. If there is an application submitted before yours we will not

run your application and we are able to refund your application fee. Incomplete applications will not be submitted for

screening.

Contents of the application are compared to the screening criteria by Owner/Agent and the individual is either approved or

denied in compliance with all local, state and federal laws. Individuals are welcome to provide supplemental evidence to

mitigate potentially negative screening results. Individuals have 14 days to appeal denied applications, during which time

they may correct, refute, or explain negative information forming the basis for the denial. Individuals are also pre qualified

for any rental opportunities at Owner/Agent’s properties for three months following an approval. All screening fees are

waived for three months following the approved appeal, but Individuals under these circumstances will be required to certify

in writing that no conditions have materially changed from those described in Owner/Agent’s approved application. If

conditions have materially changed, Owner/Agent may use those changes as the basis for a denial. Denial of applicants will

result in automatic rejection of any application at any of our properties for a period of 6 months.
