Tenant Selection Policy

Before leasing 67 S Grant St, Wilkes Barre PA 18501, a single tenant or a tenant group must qualify.

A single tenant qualifies thus:

• Completes a rental application accurately.
• Agrees to the Landlord's Lease Agreement, and Terms.
• Has credit score above 650 on MyRental.com
• Has no evictions in the 4 years preceding 3/2020.
• Has verified income > 2x their contribution to rent + utilities.
• Non smoker.
• No pets (or agrees to Pet Lease).
• Contactable references.
• Current and previous landlords for 3 years would rent to you again.

A tenant group qualifies if all its members qualify as single tenants AND (a) AND (b) AND one of (c) or (d).

(a) The group contains at most five individuals, with at most four unrelated adults.

(b) Agrees to a Constitution with all the other group members:

• This is a signed agreement between the tenants themselves.
• The landlord is not a party to the Constitution.
• It enables the group to govern itself with the force of contract law, and gives you the teeth to enforce your decisions.
• The tenants as a group must have the right to eject a member by majority vote in extreme cases such as non-compliance with a group decision, non-payment of a share of rent or bills, etc.
• You can write it yourselves and put whatever else you like into it, but a useable draft is here.

(c) The group has five members.

(d) The group has three or four adult members who jointly-and-severally agree to pay the full house rent.

If multiple individual or group tenants qualify within the two weeks preceding a tentative lease start date, preference may be given, within Landlord's judgement subject to the constraints of law, first to a full group of five, second to a group with verified group or individual income of 3x rent, third based on credit scores, fourth with history of living in cooperative housing, fourth with gender balance.
