equally to all applicants (these polices may include establishing uniform credit and reference requirements, terms and conditions regarding deposits, payment dates, maintenance, and
standardized forms)
• If you ask one person a question, ask everyone

acts or misbehavior which affects ability to meet the require-
ments of the agreement

nothing to do with the ability to be a good tenant

an individual
