Resident Selection And Occupancy Guidelines
Revised March 2012

Management reserves the right to reject applications or revoke approvals if it is determined that any applicant
falls within any one or more of the following categories:
Misrepresentation: Willful or serious misrepresentation in the application process or failure to provide all of
the information requested. If it is determined that the applicant made false statements as to prior activities
which would have led the board to refuse the application, then that application is void as well as the
accompanying lease. The applicant then has 3 days to vacate the property.
Records of Disturbance of Neighbors, Destruction of Property or Other Disruptive or Dangerous
Behavior: Includes behavior or conduct which adversely affects the safety or welfare of other persons by
physical violence, gross negligence or irresponsibility, which damages the equipment or premises in which the
person resides; or which is disturbing or dangerous to neighbors or may disrupt sound community life.
Violent Behavior: Includes evidence of acts of violence or of any other conduct that may constitute a danger
or disruption to the peaceful occupancy of neighbors.
Non-compliance with Rental Agreement: Includes evidence of any failure to comply with the terms of rental
agreement at prior residences, such as providing shelter to unauthorized persons, keeping pets, other acts in
violation of rules or regulations, lease default, or a pattern of late payments.
Non-compliance of Rules and Regulations: If, because of any violation of Sierras Rules and Regulations
or federal, state or local law I am requested by the Sierra Board of Directors to vacate the property which I am
leasing as a result of my acceptance as a Sierra resident by the Board of Directors, or any act or condition
which is deemed, by the Board of Directors, to be a nuisance or determent to the Community, I will vacate
within 30 days and hold all parties harmless of any future litigation.
Criminal Activity: Management has established a policy to reject all applications where the applicant has
engaged in certain criminal activity. The activities that will be grounds for rejection of an application are as
follows:
Any arrest, conviction or adjudication other than acquittal within 5 years, which involved:
injury to a person or property
the sale, distribution or manufacture of any controlled or illegal substance
illegal use or possession of any controlled or illegal substance
any sexual offense

bodily harm to a child

Any act which results in the person's tenancy constituting a threat to the health or safety of other
individuals, result in substantial physical damage to the property of others, or interfere with the
peaceful and quite enjoyment of the premises.
Alcohol Abuse: If a determination is made that an applicant's abuse, or pattern of abuse, of alcohol interferes
with the health, safety or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by other residents, the application will be
rejected.
Credit History: A pattern of credit abuse, default, or problems shall be considered to be an indication of
questionable character.
I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ABOVE SELECTION GUIDELINES.
