Each Applicant must meet the following Rental Requirements and Qualifications. “Applicant” is defined as the person who will be signing the Lease Agreement as the “Resident.” “Guarantor” is defined as the person who will sign the Guaranty Agreement.
 
The following constitute current Rental Requirements and Qualifications. Nothing contained in these requirements shall constitute a guarantee or representation that all Residents currently residing in the Apartment Community, including the roommates that will occupy the rental unit with any Resident, have met these requirements. There may be Residents or occupants who have applied to reside in the Apartment Community prior to the stated requirements taking effect.

To reserve your rental unit, you must also sign a Lease Agreement. The Lease Agreement is a binding contract between you and Landlord.
