TENANT WORKSHEET

4. HOLD DEPOSITS (back)
A hold deposit is non-refundable and is used as a "hold" on the property while the application is processed.  This hold ensures that the prospective tenant will not lose the property to someone else.  MPM stops marketing the property.  If the tenant application is denied, the hold deposit is returned to the tenant within 3 business days.  IF the application requires a higher security deposit this does NOT constitute a denial.  It may be an additional requirement due to the tenant not disclosing information property during the verbal screening process.  The most important thing to remember is that the HOLD DEPOSIT IS NON-REFUNDABLE.  You make a commitment to sign the lease and we make a commitment to not show the unit to any other prospective tenants.      

5. QUALIFICATIONS (back)
Our screening process is to determine the financial and personal stability of prospective tenants.  We are entrusted by the owners and landlords to manage these properties and we are entrusting the prospective tenant to manage these assets.  Poor credit may be an reason for denial of application or we may find a remedial action to ensure your placement in the property you desire.  Another important consideration is poor rental record.  Work history and career are especially important, however.  MPM requires one adult in the household to have a stable job for 1-3 years minimum depending on the application.   Total household income can also be calculated by supplimental income such as food stamps, child support,TCA, SSI, fixed retirement income or any other income.

6. SECURITY DEPOSIT (back)
Is collected at the time that the lease is signed.  It must be in the form of a money order.  NO cash or checks are accepted.  Security deposits are not rent and will be returned following a proper vacancy (60 day notice) and MPM inspection with sign-off of the condition of the property by the tenant.  Security deposit is always 1-2 months depending on the application.
