Your Move In Fee WILL NOT BE REFUNDED, but will be retained by the Owner as Liquidated Damages if you fail to (a) complete necessary documents, (b) sign a Lease, or (c) take occupancy of the apartment. Your Move In Fee WILL NOT BE REFUNDED if your application is rejected because it contains false or misleading information.

Application Policy

Equal Housing Opportunity. Kleinman Realty Co. (“KRC”) is an equal housing opportunity provider. KRC does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, marital status, sexual preference, familial status, status with regard to public assistance, disability or any other protected status under applicable law or city ordinance. KRC will review any complaint by any applicant who feels they have been treated unfairly or has been subject to discrimination by a KRC agent or employee. Applicants must be a college student with verifiable documents of enrollment. All applicants and guarantors must be 18 years of age or older. All applicants must meet the following criteria.

Application Fee. a) KRC charges each adult applicant a $75 NON-REFUNDABLE application fee. b) This fee must be submitted with the Application.

False or Misleading Applications. Your application must be filled out completely and accurately, and an incomplete application may be rejected or not processed. Any false, misleading, or omitted information, on, or in connection with, an application is a basis for denial, and if discovered at a later date, is a basis to terminate or evict under any Lease signed based on misleading or incomplete information. Each applicant/student must complete an application and must also provide a completed guarantor application and guarantor agreement.

Business Relationship. The relationship between a landlord and a tenant is a business relationship. A courteous and businesslike attitude is required from both parties. KRC reserves the right to refuse rental to anyone who is verbally abusive, swears, is disrespectful, makes threats, has been drinking, is argumentative, or in general displays an attitude at the time of the apartment showing and application process that causes management to believe we would not have a positive business relationship.

Occupancy Limits. Occupancy limits are necessary to promote clean, quiet and comfortable living. Any person proposed to be added to a unit must be approved by management before moving into the unit.

a) No more than two adults may occupy a studio (efficiency) apartment;
b) No more than two adults may occupy a one-bedroom apartment;
c) No more than four adults may occupy a two-bedroom apartment;
d) No more than six adults may occupy a three-bedroom apartment.

Credit History. Bank and credit references will be checked. An adverse credit history may be grounds for rejection, including any record of unpaid housing or utility debt, high debt, accounts in collection, and open or recent bankruptcy. Your application may be denied if your credit report contains negative information that is directly relevant to you as a resident, including owing amounts to prior landlords or utility companies, a heavy debt burden with high collections activity, bankruptcy or foreclosure, or repeated late payments toward credit obligations. A negative credit history may be grounds for denial.

Criminal/Public Record History. Management will screen for criminal/public record history. In Minneapolis, the lookback period for the age of convictions followed is such that persons with a misdemeanor within 3 years, a felony within 7 years, or some felonies within 10 years, will be denied. An open or pending charge may be a basis for denial. An applicant that has been convicted of the illegal manufacture or distribution of a controlled substance, or that is a member of a household subject to a lifetime sex offender registration, will be denied.

Eviction History. Evictions within 3 years where a prior landlord received a judgment or a writ of recovery, or evictions within 1 year where the case was settled with no judgment or writ of recovery within 1 year before the application period may be grounds for denial of your application. Evictions that resulted in a dismissal or judgment for the applicant are not a basis for denial.

Housing History. You must provide the name and last known telephone number of each landlord/property manager/lender for each address you have had for the last two years. KRC accepts references only from independent landlords, lenders, and management companies. References from relatives or roommates will not be accepted. Failure to disclose an address of record in the last two years is grounds for denial of an application. The refusal of a prior landlord to give a reference may be a basis for denial. Negative reference, may be grounds for denial of your application. If you are a first-time renter, a previous landlord reference is not required.

Income. a) The applicant(s) must have gross (before taxes) monthly income of 2.95 times the monthly rent. b) An applicant must have verifiable, reliable and predictable sources of income. c) Verification of income source(s) must be submitted with the application, or as requested by Management.

APPLICANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT:
a) A non-refundable Application Fee will be paid per applicant. b) An Administrative/Move In Fee is due at the time of application submission to hold your requested home. c) This application, and application of each prospective occupant, are subject to approval and acceptance by Management. d) If this application is not approved and accepted by Management, the Administrative/Move In Fee shall be refunded.

Guarantor Access The Applicant authorizes Management to provide the Guarantor with full access to all lease-related information, including but not limited to lease documents, payment history, account balances, charges, notices, and communications.

Should applicant(s) desire to cancel this application, after 24 hours of approval, the administration/move-in fee will be retained unless the application is ultimately denied by Management, as outlined above. The Administration/Move In Fee will be applied as Liquidated Damages to Owner’s loss of marketing time and will not be refunded to the Applicant, as outlined above.

Administration/Move In Fee will also be retained by Owner, and not refunded, if (1) the Rental Application is not accepted because it contains false or misleading information or (2) you sign the lease, but fail to fulfill the terms of the Lease, as outlined above.

The Administration/Move In Fee will be returned to the Applicant for reasons other than Applicant supplying false or misleading information, as outlined above. Payments made with a Credit/Debit Card will be returned to the card they were issued from.

Exceptions/Acceptance with Conditions. Exceptions may be considered for applicants that do not have a housing history because they are first time renters, are students, or are new immigrants to this country, or due to income or credit reasons. Exceptions are at the discretion of Management and depend on the overall strength of the balance of the applicant’s application and/or the application of the guarantor.

Refund Procedure. In accordance with local Ordinances, applicants are allowed to choose a method for return of the application fee if KRC either (a) accepts more than one application and fee for a rental unit, or (b) rejects the applicant for any reason not listed in the owner’s written application criteria. KRC is in compliance with these Ordinances because it does not accept more than one application and fee for a rental unit and the reasons for denial of an application are listed above. However, in the event that either should occur, please choose a method for return of your application fee, or if your application is denied and your Administrative/Move-In Fee is to be returned: (1) Mail the check to the address on the application; (2) destroy the check; or (3) hold the check for pickup by you (applicant) upon one business days’ notice. Where the application fee or Administrative/Move In fee are paid by credit card, KRC will issue a credit to the card used for the payment.

Policy Compliance and Changes. Management believes this screening criteria complies with Minnesota law and, where applicable, Municipal Ordinances relating to resident screening and deposits. Management reserves the right to change its rental selection criteria and rental application policy, including the amount of any required deposit, at any time without prior notice, as may be desirable for Management’s own business purposes or as might be advisable or recommended under applicable law.
