In addition, an applicant must have twelve (12) consecutive months of verifiable positive rental history. Fraud: Incomplete or falsified documentation will result in denial of the application. Water Furniture: Acceptable on first floor only, with proof of insurance and Management’s written approval prior to occupancy.

Management reserves the right to obtain additional criminal reports at will if criminal charges are evident.

An applicant household will be rejected if any member: • Has been evicted for drug-related criminal activity within 3 years of the date of application; • Is currently using illegal drugs; or • Is subject to a lifetime registration requirement under a State sex offender registration program. Ambling will not consider an arrest or charge that was resolved without a guilty plea, a plea of no contest, or a conviction. If an applicant has been arrested and the charge is still pending, the decision regarding applicant’s eligibility for occupancy will be delayed until after the charge has been adjudicated, if a conviction would make the applicant ineligible. Upon satisfactory disposition of the charge, if an appropriate apartment is still available, processing of the application will be completed. An apartment will not be held while waiting for resolution of pending charges. The types of conviction and length of time that has passed since the conviction, or release from incarceration, will be reviewed using the following guidelines. Non-violent Misdemeanor: If a member of an applicant household has been convicted of a non-violent misdemeanor, Ambling may deny admission if the conviction, or release from incarceration, occurred within 2 years of application. See Individualized Assessment Criteria below. Violent Misdemeanor: If a member of an applicant household has been convicted of a violent misdemeanor, Ambling will deny admission if the conviction, or release from incarceration, occurred within 5 years of application. Repeated Unrelated Violent Misdemeanors: If a member of an applicant household has been convicted for more than two (2) unrelated violent misdemeanors, will deny admission if the last conviction, or release from incarceration, occurred within 7 years of application. Non-violent Felony: If a member of an applicant household has been convicted of a non-violent felony, Ambling may deny admission if the conviction, or release from incarceration, occurred within 5 years of application. See Individualized Assessment Criteria below. Repeated Unrelated Non-violent Felonies: If a member of an applicant household has been convicted of more than two (2) unrelated felonies, Ambling may deny admission if the last conviction, or release from incarceration, occurred within 7 years of application. See Individualized Assessment Criteria below. Violent Felony: If a member of an applicant household has been convicted of a violent felony, Ambling: • Will deny admission if the conviction, or release from incarceration, occurred within 5 years of application. • May deny admission if the conviction, or release from incarceration, occurred more than 5 years prior to application. See Individualized Assessment Criteria below. Repeated Unrelated Violent Felonies: If a member of an applicant household has been convicted of more than two (2) unrelated violent felonies, Ambling will deny admission if the last conviction, or release from incarceration, occurred within 15 years of application. Drug-related Felony: If a member of an applicant household has been convicted of a drug-related felony, Ambling: • Will deny admission if the conviction was due to manufacture or distribution and the conviction, or release from incarceration, occurred within 5 years of application. • Will deny admission if the conviction was due to use or possession and the conviction, or release from incarceration, occurred within 3 years of application. • May deny admission if the conviction, or release from incarceration, occurred more than 5 years prior to application. See Individualized Assessment Criteria below. Individualized Assessment Criteria – Upon request by a rejected applicant within seven days of denial, Ambling will evaluate the criminal record(s) of the applicant(s) to determine if the decision to reject the application should be reconsidered and admission offered to the applicant. This determination of suitability will include consideration of the following factors: • The seriousness of the criminal offense; • The level of violence, if any, of the offense for which the applicant was convicted; • The relationship between the criminal offense and the safety and security of residents, staff, or property; • The length of time since the offense, with particular weight being given to significant periods of “good” behavior; • The age of the applicant at the time of the offense; • The number of and nature of any other criminal convictions; • Evidence of rehabilitation, such as employment, participation in a job training program, education, participation in a drug or alcohol treatment program, or recommendations from a parole or probation officer, employer, or social worker; and • If applicable, tenancy supports or other risk mitigation services the applicant will receive during tenancy. An application will be denied if there is a history of habitual criminal activity, including misdemeanors, when the crimes for which the applicant has been convicted represent a risk to the safety of residents, staff, and/or property. Note: Ambling will take such extenuating circumstances into account and will not deny tenancy or occupancy rights based solely on these adverse factors that are a direct result of being a victim of VAWA crimes. Ambling will work with law enforcement to follow-up on any criminal reports received for all criminal activity that threatens the health, safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by other residents (including property management staff; or any criminal activity that threatens the health, safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of their residences by persons residing in the immediate vicinity of the premises. If the criminal police reports indicate criminal activity which allows for the termination of tenancy, then eviction proceedings will be started.
