Check your answers, then sign. After you sign, the $95 application fee is collected — your application is not submitted until that payment clears. A card processing fee is added at checkout.

Authorization

I hereby apply, on behalf of the Applicant entity named above, to lease the commercial premises identified in this application, and I warrant that all statements set forth above are true and complete.

I give Elite Living Realty and the property owner permission to communicate with the Applicant's current and former landlords and property managers for the purpose of discussing any and all facts and circumstances of the Applicant's current or former tenancies, and with the Applicant's bank, accountant, trade creditors, and business references for the purpose of verifying the financial information listed above. I understand there are no limitations or restrictions regarding what may be discussed or revealed.

Consumer report authorization. I am aware that a consumer report, including credit history, public records, landlord/tenant court records, and a criminal background check, may be obtained on me individually in connection with this application, and I hereby authorize Elite Living Realty to obtain those reports. I understand this authorization is given by me as an individual guarantor or principal, and is separate from any business credit report obtained on the entity. I understand that I may make a written request within a reasonable period of time to receive additional, detailed information about the nature and scope of this investigation.

Environmental representations. I certify the hazardous materials and environmental disclosures in Section 7 are true and complete, I agree to notify Landlord in writing before introducing any material or process not disclosed there, and I acknowledge that Landlord is relying on those representations in deciding whether to lease the Premises.

Authority. I represent that I am authorized to submit this application on behalf of the Applicant entity, and that any resolution or consent evidencing that authority which I have attached is genuine and in force.

Application fee. I understand the $95 application fee is non-refundable, is charged per applicant, and that a payment processing fee is added at checkout and paid by me in addition to the $95. I understand each owner of 20% or more of the Applicant entity must submit a separate application and pay a separate fee.
