Many things are considered when determining eligibility including age, citizenship status, size of household and income. All potential tenants are required to disclose all income and asset information. Potential tenants are subject to previous landlord, criminal background, and credit checks.

Each tenant must undergo a re-certification every year to renew his or her lease and to calculate his or her new rent payment.
