Instructions for filling out the Application:

Please take the time to read these instructions carefully so that we can process your application quickly and fully.

Your application will be evaluated based on a “point” system.  If you achieve the minimum number of points required, your application will be approved.  If you achieve short of the minimum number, you may be asked to pay a larger up-front fee or higher monthly payment.  The qualifications are relatively easy to meet for applicants who fill out the application truthfully and fully.  The following issues may affect your score:

• • • • Landlord references
      • Employment references
      • Income
      • Evictions & rental history
      • Credit references
      • Ability to do any repairs or upgrades

The following items could result in AUTOMATIC REJECTION of your application:

• If you lie about any item on the application. We check all information that you give us VERY CAREFULLY. We can usually overlook poor credit, etc., if we know ahead of time what we are going to find.  However, even one small falsehood will result in immediate and automatic rejection of your application.
• If you have been convicted of a violent, sexual, or drug-related felony in the past 5 years.
• If you have a gross household income (before taxes) of LESS THAN three times the monthly payment.
• If you have been a PLAINTIFF (the one who SUED someone) in a lawsuit other than an auto accident or class action suit.

Please follow these instructions in filling out your application:

1. ALL adults who will be living in the house must fill out individual applications. (If married, one joint application, signed by both, in ink, will suffice.)  Each person applying must be approved.
2. Fill out EVERY part of the application in full.
3. Sign the application in INK.
4. The $35 application fee can be paid in CASH or by MONEY ORDER made payable to Ohio Trust Properties. It can also be paid with debit or credit card online in the box above.  This fee is for each adult and is non-refundable.
5. If you feel that any items on your application (credit, evictions, etc.) need further explanation, feel free to attach a separate letter of explanation.
6. Include your past 2 paystubs and bank statements, if applicable.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU!
