Please review the following criteria before submitting a prescreening form or full rental application.

Pursuant to Texas Property Code Section 92.3515, these Tenant Selection Criteria are being provided to you. The following constitute grounds upon which the landlord may base the decision to lease the property to you.

Based on the information you provide, the landlord may deny your application or may take other adverse actions against you, including but not limited to requiring a co-signer on the lease, requiring an additional deposit, or raising rent to a higher amount than for another applicant. If your application is denied or another adverse action is taken based upon information obtained from your credit report or credit score, you will be notified.
