FAIR HOUSING FOCUS
Say What—You Expect to Collect the Rent? Some thoughts on income standards…
I
t is the first of the month and you, the landlord, expect to have those rent checks coming in on time. Better yet, you expect that when they are deposited into your operating account that they don’t bounce. After all, you no doubt have a mortgage to pay, payroll to meet, and operating costs to keep things up and running to your residents’ satisfaction. By golly, you might even expect to make a profit, you clever person, you! But sometimes it just doesn’t go as expected (as if you had to read this article to learn that!), and those checks don’t come in or they bounce sky-high because some of your residents are unable to pay their rent. In order to minimize this risk, our
industry has established some protocols that have become standards in qualifying prospects and approving their applications. [In deference to Nan Cavarretta, a well-known fair housing instructor and property management professional, please note that we approve or disapprove applications (paperwork); we do not approve or disapprove of applicants (people).] Two of the important standards are income related. The first standard has to do with what actually counts as income; you may have heard this referred to as “source of income.” The second standard has to do with just how much income is enough income to satisfy the landlord. Let’s look at these more closely.
6
Source of Income: This criterion has certainly evolved through the years. Once upon a time, for mortgages or rent, the woman’s income didn’t count in the calculation. After all, she was likely to get pregnant, lose her job, and not have that money, so her income was deemed to be tenuous at best. While we scoff at such a position now, today we are still establishing standards that future generations of landlords may look back on and shake their heads. There are landlords today who still require that “income” be employment related, i.e. a paycheck. They refuse to consider other lawful income that an individual may have, including child support, alimony, interest or investment income, or welfare. While this may be a lawful position to take in many areas, more and more states (such as California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Vermont and Wisconsin) and local governments (such as the District of Columbia, Chicago, Howard and Montgomery Counties, MD, Philadelphia, Seattle and King County, WA) have declared “source of income” to be a protected class for fair housing purposes. That means if your community is located in these jurisdictions, then you must include all lawful sources of income in your qualifying calculations. But it may mean even more. Depending on the language of your state or local law, or depending on how your courts may have ruled on the issue, you may find that you are now required to consider Section 8 vouchers in qualifying the applicant’s credit and must accept the voucher holder/applicant whose income plus voucher assistance meets your credit standards. In such jurisdictions, for you this federal program is no longer “voluntary.” You owe it to yourself to find out just what the status is for the location of your property. And keep in mind that, if you are a landlord with communities in different areas, you may need to advise your staff of the differences. “No, we don’t take Section 8” may be perfectly fine for one community and an unlawful statement at another. Rent-to-Income Ratios: It is a well-established standard in our industry to require applicants to have a certain amount of income on a “take-home” basis as relates to the rent charges (usually exclusive of utilities). Generally we see such relationship www.snmaonline.org
JULY AUGUST 2008 based on a ratio of 2:1 to 3:1. Yet as prevalent as this practice may be, it may present problems in the future. The mortgage lending industry (which is of course also subject to fair housing laws) has in the past undergone challenge and scrutiny that resulted in a significant revamping of its screening and underwriting policies and procedures. The question is, would the multifamily “industry standards” pass muster in a fair housing challenge?
f Does the prospect have someone who would be willing to guarantee the lease and who meets the landlord’s criteria? In this case the landlord then has someone who is fully obligated and arguably able to pay. (And if the guarantor is for someone with a disability, this may be required as a reasonable accommodation.) f Has the landlord considered factors that may allow a prospect to devote a higher percentage of disposable income to rent (such as the examples discussed above)?
Many advocates for minority groups and for the disabled community argue that the rent-to-income ratios do not take into consideration the true ability to pay the rent. For example, a minority single mother once said she was willing to sacrifice in many ways (including feeding her children beans and rice every night) in order to put more of her dollars into rent at a community that offered better conditions and better schools than did apartment communities where she could meet the ratio standard. And the disabled will argue that while they may not pass the rent-to-income “test” they also do not have many of the common expenses that the nondisabled (or TABs – “Temporarily Able-Bodied” persons) have. Often those with disabilities will use public transportation and not have automobiles with the related costs of tag, taxes, gasoline, insurance, maintenance and the like. And those with disabilities often qualify for “Meals on Wheels” and other programs that do not provide “income” but that offset their expenses, making it possible for them to use more of their disposable income for rent. Some non-profit organizations will offer to serve as a guarantor or surety to enhance the creditworthiness of an applicant with a high rent-to-income ratio. Be sure your leasing agents and applicants understand and apply correctly your company’s policies toward applicants with marginal credit histories who apply with a guarantor or surety.
If landlords have under-representation of minority residents as compared to the metro population, or if there is disparity in the acceptance rates as to applications of minorities and non-minorities, then a written policy and procedure to implement some of the above ideas may be the prudent thing to do. Consider it part of a risk-management plan, because you don’t want to be the rent-toincome test case, do you? And you really do want everyone to have the opportunity to be a rent-paying resident, don’t you? Q The author extends her sincere thanks to Jay Harris, Vice President of Property Management with the National Multi Housing Council, for providing the substance and idea for this article.
This Fair Housing Focus article was written by Nadeen Green, Senior Counsel with For Rent Media Solutions™. The information contained in this article is not to be considered legal advice, and the author and FRMS strongly recommend that you consult with your own counsel as to any fair housing questions or problems you may have.
Thus, the wise landlord, and our industry as a whole, may want to consider having alternative ways for evaluating and approving applications. Landlords may have a genuine business interest in creating standards, including rent-to-income ratios. However, a HUD memo suggests that if there is a less discriminatory way by which the genuine business necessities may be addressed, then landlords should adopt such less discriminatory alternatives. It is important to remember that the bottom line is, in fact, the bottom line. This is all about making some sort of educated guess (and it is only a guess as your eviction lawyers can tell you!) about a prospect’s ability to pay. Some of the alternatives to consider might be: f Does the prospect have a good credit rating, indicating that whatever her income may be that she has managed her money well in the past? If so, she is not likely to sully her credit record with non-payment of rent. f Can the prospect show that he has paid comparable rent in full and on time in the past? If so, then chances are your rent will be paid as well. f Does the prospect have assets in savings? f Does the prospect have a disability? It may be a reasonable accommodation to relax the rent-to-income ratio, particularly if it is a “borderline” situation. www.snmaonline.org

Find Opportunity in a Tough Economy
P
By Amy Kosnikowski, Quintessential Marketing & Training
resident John Kennedy once said, “The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word ‘crisis.’ One stroke stands for danger, the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of danger but recognize the opportunity.” As the downfall of the housing market continues to have a ripple effect into the lives of every consumer, this philosophy brings two useful questions to mind. How do we prevent danger? And, where might we find opportunity? Whether it’s proven or not that our economy will continue to plummet due to the weakness of our financial markets, America’s perception of that threat is real. We must consider this mindset wisely. Apartment communities across the nation are feeling the positive and negative effects of this trend. Some are seeing higher occupancy flow while others remain stable. Now is the time to be proactive, to find strength in this crisis and create an opportunity to gain back qualified residents who were lost during the housing boom. Here are some suggestions on how to get started:
Be Knowledgeable. Understand the economic status locally as well as what is occurring in the national and global market. Have open discussions with your teams about current events and possible direct consequences to your community such as high gas prices or rising unemploy-
www.snmaonline.org
ment rates. Although one cannot control the economy, but we can be proactive to brainstorm on how negative effects can be minimized or reversed by devising early solutions to common challenges. Strategize helpful methods and effective responses to successfully manage these concerns. Assess Effectiveness. When was the last time a full detailed audit occurred on-site to determine effectiveness in the sales and marketing process? It would be beneficial to look closely to verify that all the pieces of the process are working together for the biggest ROI for every marketing dollar. Zero in to assure that all marketing sources and leasing approaches are achieving optimal outcomes and make immediate changes to improve results. Build on the proven practices that are not typically affected by market conditions such as expanding leads from a core referral network, smart marketing outreach, and outstanding customer service. Also keep in mind that leasing at this unstable period may require additional time to develop customer rapport and trust. Leasing superstars realize that a number of apartment seekers may be hesitant due to uncertain external factors. By utilizing an extra empathetic sales technique, targeted qualifying questions paired with solid listening skills and superior follow up are just a few of the many ways of adapting to the current economic climate.
9
Adjust. After evaluating the effectiveness to gain and maintain quality, residents review current qualifying standards to ensure alignment with present market conditions. Consider making slight adjustments to reflect the reality of foreclosures and short sales occurring in the market. It is not suggested to dramatically lower company standards, which could result in decreasing the overall value of the real estate asset. However, fine-tuning a set of well-thoughtout regulations, along with training on-site teams on credit score analysis and screening policies would have positive outcomes in the short and long-term. Differential Factor. Welcome future residents with a newly revived message filled with benefits of apartment living, along with the advantages of residing in a professionally managed community. Have ‘think tanks’ with your team to create the community’s unique selling points highlighting the numerous conveniences and services that are a luxury for most homeowners. This is the chance to prove value and worth of a true carefree lifestyle, not only to new residents but also to those who are presently enjoying the rewards of your community. By extending these key messages to existing and potential residents while on the telephone, in the newsletter or during a service visit, you’re giving them constant reminders of the benefits they reap everyday by being a prized resident. Market Smarter. Are you communicating what is significant and unique about your community to potential residents? Utilize the differential factors, newly created by the onsite team, to set the community apart from the competition. Review and update all online and print advertisements, promotional material, and collateral to assure that you are capitalizing on the best opportunity with a crystal clear and consistent message. Staying aware, working efficiently as a team, and marketing smart are the keys to a steady success during these uncertain times. You will see that the greatest opportunity exists even in the toughest of times. Good luck!

First Advantage SafeRent Releases
First Quarter 2008 Multifamily Applicant Risk Index By Jay Harris, Vice President of Business Services, First Advantage SafeRent
First Advantage SafeRent, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of First Advantage Corporation (NASDAQ: FADV) and the nation’s leading and most innovative provider of screening and risk management services for the multifamily industry has announced the release of first quarter 2008 multifamily applicant risk statistics. The Multifamily Applicant Risk Index (MAR Index) is based on traffic quality scores from First Advantave SafeRent’s statistical screening model and is updated quarterly to provide property owners and managers with a benchmark with which to compare their portfolio’s performance. With this unique applicant risk index, property owners are able to compare their applicant quality trends with that of the average MAR Index trends. This comparison indicated whether their portfolio is performing above, below or at market levels with respect to attracting and securing high quality, paying residents.
percent increase from the fourth quarter 2007, which confirms a trend of seeing higher MAR Index values in the first quarter over the fourth quarter of the prior year. Compared to the first quarter 2007, the MAR Index is the same value of 100. When comparing applicants for one- versus two-bedroom units, the MAR Index is slightly higher for one-bedroom units at 101 compared to 100 for two-bedroom units in the first quarter (see Graph 1). Regionally, the Northeast has the highest MAR Index with a value of 110 while the Midwest and South have the lowest MAR Index with a value of 97 this quarter (see Table 1). Q Here is how South Nevada performed: Las Vegas, NV—AZ: 1Q08 = 97 Las Vegas, NV—AZ: 4Q07 = 98
The first quarter national MAR Index, including studios, one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom units (BR) was 100. This is a 1

ongress has found, from various sources, “that the installation and proper use of barriers or fencing, as well as additional layers of protection, could substantially reduce the number of childhood residential swimming pool drownings and near drownings.” (Title XIV, Sec. 1402.4)
Sec. 1404: Federal Swimming Pool and Spa Drain Cover Standard The Drain Cover Standard states: “Any swimming pool or spa drain cover manufactured, distributed, or entered into commerce in the United States shall conform to the entrapment protection standards of the ASME/ANSI (American National Standards Institute/American Society of Mechanical Engineers) A112.19.8 performance standard, or any successor standard regulating such swimming pool or drain cover.” (Title XIV, Sec. 1404.b) As for public pools and spas, they are defined as a pool and/or spa that is either opened to the public, exclusive to the members of its complex or organization, or exclusive to the members of the Federal Government and their dependents. Any of these public pools and spas must conform to the Drain Cover Standard stated above. If the public pool and spa has a single main drain, then one or more of these devices are, required by law, to www.snmaonline.org
Any public pools and spas in direct violation of the stated clauses, written above, shall be “a violation of section 19(a)(1) of the Consumer Product Safety Act {15 USC 2068(a)(1)) and may also be enforced under section 17 of that Act (15 USC 2066).” (Title XIV, Sec. 1404.c.3)
Sec. 1405: State Swimming Pool Safety Grant Program Government provides monetary assistance for swimming pool to eligible states, subject to availability of appropriations. Under the enforcement of the Consumer Product Safety Act, the funds will be enforced but retained by the Commission. The Commission grants the award under their discretion of the monetary funds for this program through the consideration of (1) the Qualifying state’s population and enforcement needs, and (2) by giving priority status to states that have not received this grant in the preceding fiscal year for the maximum benefit of protecting children from drowning or entrapment. The program’s funds will be dispersed whereas at least 50 percent is given to hire and train enforcement personnel for the state’s swimming pool and safety laws. And whereas the remainder will be dispersed among the education of pool construction/ installation companies, pool service companies, pool owners, pool operators, and the general public. The Commission hopes to provide relief to administrative costs related to State training and educational costs.
Sec. 1406: Minimum State Law Requirements Title XIV – Pool and Spa Safety Act states
15
that in order for the State to meet minimum state law requirements of this section, it must provide “(i) the enclosure of all outdoor residential pools and spas by barriers to entry that will effectively prevent small children from gaining unsupervised and unfettered access to the pool or spa (ii) that all pools and spas be equipped with devices and systems designed to prevent entrapment by pool or spa drains (iii) that pools and spas built more than 1 year after the date of the enactment of such statute have (I) more than 1 drain (II) 1 or more unblockable drains, or (III) no main drains (iv) every swimming pool and spa that has a main drain, other than an unblockable drain, be equipped with a drain cover that meets the consumer product safety standard established by section 1404 (v) that periodic notification is provided to owners of residential swimming pools or spas about compliance with the entrapment protection standards of the ASME/ANSI A112.19.8 performance standard, or any successor standard.” This also applied when additional State minimum requirement laws are met through the Commission that establishes a public notice and a 30-day public comment period. The basic safety devices and equipments requirement for State laws include Covers, Gates, Doors, Pool Alarm, Safety Vacuum Release System, Suction-Limiting Vent System, Gravity Drainage System, Automatic Pump Shut-Off System, Drain Disablement, and other Systems determined to be equal or better by the Commission. These devices and equipments must meet ASME/ANSI or ASTM performance standards.
Sec. 1407: Education Program The Commission provides public with knowledge of preventing drowning and entrapment in swimming pools and spas through the use of educational materials and national media campaigns. For this program, the Commission authorized $5,000,000 throughout fiscal years 2008 to 2012.
Sec. 1408: CPSC Report On the last day of each fiscal year, the Commission will provide Congress with an evaluation report regarding the State Swimming Pool Safety Grant Program (Sec. 1405). Q

Reduce Paper Usage & Increase Efficiency By Tre Sedminik, First Advantage SafeRent
As an online tool, all of CMI’s forms were loaded into FormsPLUS. Then CMI’s management grouped the forms into relevant packages (lease, move-in, move-out, etc.), established default field values, and activated the packages for each community. At lease signing, the on-site staff logs in to the tool and selects the specific community’s lease package from a drop down menu. The lease is pre-populated with the community and applicant specific information. The leasing agent completes any missing data and simply presses a button to generate and print the forms. With FormsPLUS, CMI has achieved a more efficient and effective process for lease generation that ensures companywide compliance. Additionally, this automated tool: h Provides 20 to 30 minute time savings per lease – automates the process because the tool is online versus rummaging through fi le cabinets. h Enforces portfolio-wide use of the correct forms – ensures that CMI’s brand and legal terms are represented professionally and consistently across the portfolio and prevents the inadvertent omission of key forms from the lease package. h Speeds-up form rollout – instantly propagates new or updated forms to all communities via the web.
Are you searching for a more efficient process for generating residential leases? So was Consolidated Management, Inc. (CMI). For many communities, a manual lease generation process may include the following time-consuming steps. Pre-printed, hard copy forms are provided by the corporate office.
E
ach community stores these various lease forms on-site. To prepare a lease, the on-site personnel gather the appropriate forms from fi ling cabinets and then manually type the applicant and community specific information onto the forms. A new version of the form might be developed at a specific site whereas other sites might be using an older version. This manual process leads to issues such as data entry errors, the omission of a key form from the lease package, or forms that are incomplete or outdated. CMI recognized these challenges and after considering several options, they selected Registry FormsPLUSSM, a web-based, automated lease generation tool.
16
h Eliminates inventory control issues – ends the pre-printing and storing of forms on-site, all forms are available at anytime from the online system. h Reduces data entry errors – minimizes the need for manual data entry by pre-populating forms with screening/community information and automatically performing calculations. Q
Consolidated Management, Inc. (CMI) has excelled in professional proper ty management for over 40 years. CMI consists of 500 employees that manage more than 11,000 units in 50 apartment communities in Florida, Ohio and Michigan. www.snmaonline.org
