New Earth Residential does not discriminate against any person or household based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, national origin, ancestry, martial status, source of income, age, sexual orientation or any other protected class status. The Rental Criteria listed below explains the policies of this community with regard to standards that must be met by each applicant in order to be approved for residency. This community is operated under the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program of Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code and, by the Regulations of the State of California, Department of Housing & Community Development, Rental Housing Construction Program, Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 8075, and et seq. In addition to the criteria shown below, applicants are required to meet certain income guidelines as defined in the HUD Handbook. In addition to the LIHTC and HCD program, there may be other sources of assistance (such as Tax Exempt Bonds, Ground Lease, Redevelopment Agency Funds or Housing Authority Funds) that place additional restrictions income and assets. This community is not a part of the Section 8 program; however, we welcome applicants with Section 8 vouchers to apply for residency.
All applicants must be of legal age. All parties 18 years of age or older, all heads of household under 18 years of age and all emancipated minors are required to complete an application.
All applicants are required to show a driver’s license or government-issued photo identification to prove their identity and a Social Security or Taxpayer Identification card to prove the validity of the number provided. For those without a Social Security or Taxpayer Identification Number, instructions are found later in this document.
A Credit, Eviction and Criminal Record history will be obtained and evaluated by On-Site, a third-party tenant screening service. Each household will receive a score based on statistical data such as payment history, number and type of accounts, outstanding debt and age of accounts. Based on the score, the application will be accepted, declined or accepted with conditions.

Applicants who are unable to provide rental history may be approved with an additional deposit.

Annual Certification Requirements
Minimum and Maximum Occupancy Standards
Due to additional programs at this community we have minimum and maximum occupancy standards. Guidelines are below:
Unit Size Minimum Occupancy Maximum Occupancy
During the first twelve months of the original rental term, no one will be allowed to be added to the lease or become an additional occupant unless they are a newborn or newly adopted child.
All changes to households must be reported and approved by management PRIOR to any household changes at any time during occupancy.
Transfers
After move-in, residents may transfer to a different unit. A transfer can occur at either the agent’s or the Resident’s request. Reasons for a transfer may include, but not be limited to, overcrowding or to accommodate a disability. Occupancy Standards must still be followed.
Transfers of current Residents whose names are on the Transfer Waiting List due to disability accommodation or overcrowding will take priority over Applicants on the outside Waiting List. All other pending transfers will be given the same consideration as applicants on the outside Waiting List.
Applicant understands that, should applicant’s apartment become overcrowded, management may require a transfer to a larger unit that will accommodate the new household.
A criminal background screening will be conducted for all applicants. This screening will check criminal history and applicants will be denied based on certain felony and/or misdemeanor convictions and arrests pending trial.
Automatic Denial. Applicants will automatically be denied residency if there is falsification of any information entered on application forms.
Grievance and Appeal Procedure Applicants have the right to request an informal grievance hearing and are encouraged to use it without concern that it will reflect on their status of future residency. The applicant must request a hearing in writing within ten days to the Management’s District Manager or Regional Manager, after the action, inaction or decision has occurred. The request for a hearing should state the reasons for which the applicant believes the finding was unjustified. The District Manager or Regional Manager will schedule a meeting within five days of your request. The request for a hearing should be sent to:
The Property Manager
An Applicant who is uncertain whether he or she is entitled to an informal hearing or has any questions regarding the appeal procedure should email their community manager.
