Unit Size Standards

The size of individual units should match the living needs of the applicants. Space within the projects should be used to capacity while overcrowding is not recommended. The standard for number of persons per unit is based on two persons per bedroom plus one. Vine Street apartments consists of two, three, and four bedroom units. For example, the minimum occupancy for a two bedroom unit is one person, the maximum is five. Exceptions can be made according to circumstance and based on demand or particular units. If a family occupies a unit and acquires a new family member, and the unit is overcrowded, a unit transfer should be processed as soon as an adequate unit becomes available.

Bedroom Size               Occupancy

         1                         1-3 Persons

         2                         2-5 Persons

         3                         4-7 Persons

Applicants could be admitted to larger or smaller size units if no qualified households are on that bedroom waiting list if the applicant agrees to transfer to the appropriate bedroom size when one becomes available and the unit size they are in is needed for another qualified household and agrees to abide by that provision in the lease.

Selection

Applicants who meet the income/occupancy guidelines and have come to the top of the LIHTC income and other priority lists still must meet all other eligibility criteria before being approved to move in. The Management will notify the applicant when their application is ready to be processed for residency. At this time, the applicant must come in for an interview and supply the management with current income and asset documentation.

If there are any changes to income, address, phone or household size before you are called to interview for a unit, please update your application with management. A credit/criminal background check is done. The charge is $15 per adult applicant. First month’s rent is pro-rated, unless moving in on the first day of the month, and is due at the time of move in. At least a third of the security deposit is also due at the time of move in and a payment plan can be established to pay the remaining amount in two more installments.

The management will house no applicant without an interview. Should an applicant fail to come to two scheduled interviews, the application will be removed.

Some applicants may have no previous or current rental or credit references, but can still offer person on-related references. Tenants whose rental, person or credit references prove negative may be rejected based solely on those negative refences. Rejection may also occur if the current living circumstances are unsanitary or the unit is damaged due to applicant abuse or neglect, if the applicant has a previous history of evictions, non-payment of rent or other financial obligations, if there has been a violation of a previous rental agreement such as a history of disturbing the quiet enjoyment of neighbors, violence, harassment, or other criminal history. Applicants will also be rejected if found to be a direct threat to the health and safety of others, to have been convicted of dealing drugs, or if currently addicted to an illegal or controlled substance. The applicant will have 14 days after he has received the rejection letter to file a response. Applicants will not be rejected solely on the bases of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or nation origin.

Handicap accessible units will be marketed to qualified handicap/disabled households who would benefit from the unit features. We will consider any request for reasonable accommodations, including alterations to non-accessible units. We will reply in writing to such requests. In the even no households apply who need the special unit features, LIHTC will be contacted for permission to house other households in these units. In this circumstance, tenants will sing a lease addendum agreeing to transfer (at their expense) to another unit later on should an appropriate unit become available and there are households needing the benefit of the handicap accessible unit now on the waiting list.

All tenants must be legally capable of entering into a lease agreement.

Should an applicant be selected and refuse occupancy for reasons other than a medical emergency, that applicant’s name will be removed from the waiting list. That applicant may reapply and will be placed on the waiting list by the new date of application. The applicant must check in with the agent/site manager at least once very six months if he/she wishes to remain on the waiting list. Failure to do so will result in automatic removal from the waiting list.

All accepted tenants must pay rent as determined on the Tenant Certification Form, and sign that form along with the apartment complex’s LIHTC approved lease and attachments.
