River Club Apartments, Athens
Please be advised that their management company reserves the right to require a guarantor (commonly referred to as a co-signer), additional deposit, or deny residency. Each leaseholder must be of legal age to enter into a contract in the state in which they reside (19 in Alabama & Nebraska, 18 otherwise; subject to change). Each applicant who is a full time student should have a guarantor or an institutional co-signer financially guarantee their lease(s). The application process includes verification of income, a credit report obtained on the applicant and/or guarantor, and a criminal history report obtained on the applicant. Details regarding the verification process are as follows:
For All Applicants:
Criminal History:
A search will be conducted for each applicant's criminal history. Applicant information will be entered into a scoring model to determine eligibility. In the event applicant is denied under the criminal scoring model, applicant may appeal the decision and submit mitigating evidence to Landlord. Relevant evidence may include but is not limited to: the facts or circumstances surrounding the criminal conduct, the age of the applicant at the time of the conduct, evidence that applicant has maintained a good tenant history before and/or after the conviction or conduct, and/or evidence of rehabilitation efforts. All appeals will be reviewed within 30 days.
Occupancy:
Due to the limited square footage of the bedrooms in, and the dormitory style configuration of, our rental units, They generally limit the occupancy of a private room with a single bed in an apartment unit to one resident and an apartment unit with two private bedrooms each containing a single bed to two student residents. They will consider requests for exemptions from these occupancy standards as necessary to comply with Fair Housing laws, such as, for example, when a resident is the parent or legal custodian of minor children or when the condition of a disabled resident requires a live-in aide.
A student parent who wishes to reside with a single minor child will be placed in a private bed room with a single bed. A student parent who subsequently has a second child may continue to reside in a private bedroom with a single bed room only if net livable space allows, but in no event, later than the time the second child reaches the age of 24 months. A student parent with two to four children over the age of 24 months will be placed in a unit with two private bedrooms and is required to lease each bedroom.
