QU
ALIFICATIONS 1st Lake Properties, Inc. uses the SafeRent application screening process to review your consumer and criminal
background. SafeRent uses an empirically derived, statistically sound, scoring system to evaluate your consumer
report. Scoring is based on real data and statistics, so it treats all applicants objectively. Your consumer report
contains information about you and your experiences, such as your bill-payment history, the number and type of
accounts that have late payments, collection actions, outstanding debt, and the age of your accounts. A criminal
background check will be processed on each applicant and occupant 18 years of age or older. Based upon your
applicant score and criminal background your application will be accepted, rejected or accepted with conditions. If
annual income is verified to be less than what was reported, by $1,000 or more, a new consumer report may be
ordered. 1st Lake’s scoring system will be used when SafeRent is unavailable to score an applicant. Verification of
income, employment, rental history and criminal background is required in order to process your application through
our system. Scholarships, government assistance, subsidies and/or inconsistent income such as alimony,
commissions, tips, etc. will require verification. Income from unemployment benefits/assistance will not be accepted.
If self employed, W-2’s, 1099’s or tax return are required. A copy of your last two (2) paychecks will be accepted.
You have the right to provide us with a good faith explanation of any financial hardship you may have experienced as
