All residents age 18 and older are required to:

Guarantors must:

- Submit an application and undergo screening

Guarantors are evaluated using consistent, written criteria.

The use of a guarantor does not eliminate the requirement for the applicant to meet baseline qualification standards.

- Charges for cleaning, deodorization, or damage remediation

Participation in a deposit alternative program is not guaranteed and is subject to:

- Property and ownership approval

- Availability of the program

- Eligibility requirements established by the program provider

- Fees and lease-related charges

Program coverage, if any, may be limited and does not restrict ownership’s ability to pursue full recovery of amounts owed.

Deposits are collected, held, and returned in accordance with New Mexico law. Any applicable deductions will be itemized as required.

Renter’s insurance is intended to:

- Protect the resident’s personal property

The property owner and management are not responsible for loss or damage to personal belongings under any circumstances.

Renter’s insurance does not replace or substitute for the owner’s insurance coverage and does not limit the resident’s financial responsibility under the lease.

Failure to obtain or maintain required insurance coverage, including any lapse in coverage, may constitute a lease violation and may result in enforcement actions as permitted under the lease.

Requests for reasonable accommodation related to this requirement will be considered in accordance with applicable law; however, approval of such requests does not guarantee waiver of insurance requirements.

Residents are responsible for the conduct of all occupants, guests, and invitees.

Such conduct may include, but is not limited to:

- Activities that threaten or endanger persons or property

- Conduct that disrupts the quiet enjoyment of other residents

- Damage to property or interference with property operations

Police contact, reports, or presence alone do not constitute a lease violation and will not be used as the sole basis for enforcement.

The occurrence of criminal activity on or near the property does not, by itself, establish responsibility of the property owner or management.

Residents are expected to comply with all applicable laws and to cooperate with lawful safety measures, investigations, or corrective actions as required.

Failure to comply with lease obligations related to safety, conduct, or cooperation may result in enforcement actions, including notices of non-compliance or other remedies as permitted under the lease and applicable law.

All determinations are made using consistent criteria in accordance with the lease agreement and applicable law.

Residents are responsible for removing snow and ice from areas exclusively assigned to their unit, including private walkways, entrances, patios, or driveways, where specified in the lease.

Resident-maintained areas must be cleared within a reasonable time after accumulation to maintain safe access and prevent hazardous conditions.

Residents must not create or contribute to unsafe conditions, including blocking access areas, allowing excessive accumulation, or interfering with snow removal efforts.
