Applicant(s) that reflect rental housing related Civil Judgements and/ or Forcible Entry Detainer Judgements (evictions) may be declined. (the original paperwork said automatically but we discussed that and decided not to say automatically - is this still correct for you?)

  • Any felony conviction/ record within the past seven years
