Commonly Asked Questions Who needs to fill out an application? Every adult who will be residing in the apartment is required to sign a lease and therefore needs to fill out an application. If one is changing roommates the new roommate will need to fill out an application to be approved. If you were approved jointly with a roommate and your roommate no longer resides with you, you will need to fill out a new application to be approved separately. Applicants under 18 years of age cannot sign a lease. They must live with a parent or guardian in the apartment. How long will the application process take? The length of time it takes to process an application depends on how quickly the applicant s references respond to Glacier Properties inquiries. It may take as little as one day to as long as five days. Things the applicant can do to speed up the process: call their references to let them know we will be inquiring, provide fax numbers for residential references, and submit income/employment verification and/or other financial verification with the application (this information often takes the longest to collect). You may call and check the status of your application, however please do not pressure Glacier to complete your application evaluation quickly. Excessive calling will be considered pressuring. As an applicant this may reflect badly on you and could result in your application being declined. What kind of qualifications do you check? Glacier Properties checks the qualifications listed under Qualifying Standards. We feel these qualifications are indicators of future rental payment performance and applicant s ability to abide by the complex rules. Will Glacier Properties hold an apartment for me? Glacier Properties cannot hold an apartment during the application process. However, once an applicant is approved and a reservation deposit is submitted, the apartment will be held for 30 days. Upon move-in your reservation deposit becomes part of 1 st months rent. Important Note: reservation deposits are non-refundable should you decline to sign a lease with Glacier Properties. I was declined, what can I do? If a co-signer is allowed (in certain circumstances co-signers will not be allowed) submit your application with a co-signer. Otherwise, if or when your situation changes, you may re-submit an application. Due to the number of applications we receive and the time required in processing you may submit one application every 30 days, and one co-signer application with each application, if applicable.

Qualifying Standards The Fair Housing Act as amended prohibits discrimination in housing based on race, religion, sex, national origin, handicap or familial status. The following qualification standards apply to every prospective resident. They include, but are not limited to: INFORMATION: listed on the application must be complete, accurate, and true. If incomplete, inaccurate, or falsified information is given, it will be grounds for disqualification. Co-signers will not be allowed if information provided is found to be falsified, unverifiable, or inadequate. Furthermore, an applicant / occupant may be denied if unverifiable, incomplete, or inadequate information is found to approve the applicant / occupant. U.S RESIDENCY / IMMIGRANT STATUS / IDENTIFICATION: You must provide legal verification of your residency / immigrant status. Accepted forms of proof are: a valid social security card, passport and I-94 card, visa, or State issued identification card (available at the DMV). All applicants / occupants must also submit identification which must include: photo, signature, full name, and birth date. A co-signer will not be allowed if proof of residency/ immigrant status, or identification of the applicant / occupant cannot be verified RENTAL HISTORY: The applicant / occupant s entire rental history may be verified for present and previous residences. A positive record is expected of prompt monthly payments, sufficient notice for move-out, no damages, and no 3-day or 7-day notices. A credit report listing a mortgage may serve as or in contribution to rental history. If a poor rental history is found, the application may be declined. Co-signers will not be allowed for applicant / occupants declined due to eviction, with the one exception: co-signers may be allowed for those applicant / occupants declined due to eviction solely for non-payment or late payment of rent. CREDIT HISTORY: An unsatisfactory credit report may disqualify an applicant / occupant. An unsatisfactory credit report is one that reflects one or more of the following: past or current bad debts, late payments, unpaid bills, tax liens, judgments (unless appropriate proof of satisfaction or closed date documentation can be provided) or non-discharged bankruptcies. If an applicant / occupant is rejected due to an unsatisfactory credit report, the applicant / occupant may request the name, address and telephone number of the credit report provider. We encourage applicant / occupants to obtain a copy of the credit report from the credit reporting agency. If the applicant / occupant believes the report contains erroneous information, the applicant / occupant may correct the errors and resubmit an application after 30 days. FINANCIAL STATUS / INCOME: Written verification of income and local employment is required (ex: current original pay stub, most recent tax return, bank statements, employment contract, etc...) To qualify for an apartment that rents for $540/month or above; the prospective tenant s combined monthly income must be at least 3.0 times the monthly rental amount. Co-signers may be allowed for those who do not meet minimum income qualifications, but must have been employed for longer than 6 months. Any applicant / occupants employed less than six months at their current job, yet meets income qualifications may still be asked to provide a cosigner. Income must be verifiable. For example, a babysitting job is not verifiable income unless you work for a babysitting company where you receive regular paychecks. Restaurant server income (since it is difficult to verify) will be figured at $9.00 an hour. Selfemployment applicant / occupants need to provide the previous year s tax return for salary verification and current business invoices to prove the business is still providing income. Market rent will be used as the qualifying rental amount on those properties that have rent specials. Bank accounts, stocks, bonds and other forms of assets may also be used to verify the financial status of a prospective resident. It will be necessary to furnish management with proof of funds equal to one years worth of rent and they must document the funds have been in the account for at least four months. In the event that income can not be verified in writing, (large % of transactions are cash), ex. used cars sales approval can be made if 6 mo of rent is paid in advance. Students may use student loans to pay for rent but they must provide current proof of attendance at a local college/university in addition to providing proof of loans, amounts, and the dates the funds were received. If a student is solely using student loans for income it is recommended they make all payments for the semester or half-semesters (depending on how the loan is disbursed) in a lump sum upon the receipt of the funds. CRIMINAL BACKGROUND SEARCH: Any applicant / occupants who have been determined to have a criminal conviction or /indictment for any felony, any possession, sale, manufacturing, or distribution of controlled substances new than 5 years. Felony assault, felony crimes of burglary/theft, felony crimes involving firearms, crimes of a sexual nature, felony crimes against person(s) or property will be denied residency / occupancy. Management reserves the right to deny residency / occupancy for any criminal activity at their discretion. Guarantors / co-signers cannot be substitutes for this requirement. OCCUPANCY: The occupancy standard is set at two persons per bedroom. CO-SIGNERS / GUARANTOR: A co-signer / guarantor will be fully responsible for the lease agreement if the occupying resident(s) defaults. In the event a co-signer/ guarantor is required, he/ she must complete an application for residency and meet all of the resident selection criteria. In addition, co-signers must make six times the rent to qualify and the co-signer must be an Iowa resident. Only one co-signer application will be accepted with a resident application allowed on a case-by-case basis. ROOMMATES & JOINT APPLICANT / OCCUPANTS: When applicant / occupants apply as roommates, or jointly to live in the same apartment, their applications will be evaluated jointly, both will have to meet the qualification standards. Thus, if one applicant / occupant is declined, they both are declined. They may not re-apply separately. PETS: We allow up to two cats only with deposit. We do not allow dogs.
