General Information: - Applicant on time for showing appointment, or timely call to reschedule - Positive government issued picture ID for all adult - Fully completed application, without material omissions, for every occupant. - Demonstration of ability to pay complete deposit and rent - Applications will not be reviewed until received in full.

The tenant's ex-wife and adult child removed the belongings. 

This implication and the $35/adult application fee should discourage felons from applying.Unfortunately, I can see this type of ordinance as a possibility in CA in the future.

The other tenants will also be my roommates, therefore, I would like to have younger, student aged tenants as opposed to older adults.
