• FOR CURRENT CMHA CLIENTS: A 30 day notice must have already been submitted to your current landlord and

Inspections have passed.

The application will not be processed without it.

AFTER APPLICATION HAS BEEN APPROVED

• Upon approval of the application, half of the security deposit will be collected as a hold fee. This must

be paid within 3 days of an approved application.

• Prior to signing the lease, the second half of the security deposit will be collected along with the

tenant’s prorated portion of current month’s rent, if applicable. Tenant MUST have these funds

available and be ready to sign the lease within 72 hours of the passed inspection. If the tenant does not

have the funds available within 72 hours, the hold fee will be forfeit and the landlord will proceed

with a new tenant.

• If the landlord agrees to a CMHA request to lower the rent amount, the deposit listed below will be

adjusted to match the agreed upon rent amount.
