Default Terms and Conditions
(OneApp Guarantee Rental Support Agreement)
This OneApp Guarantee Rental Support Agreement (this "Agreement") describes how a Housing Provider or Property Manager (the "Property Manager") may be eligible to receive offset payments to cover lost rent, including repair costs up for property damage and legal fees associated with an eviction up to a maximum of 3 times the rent, from a reserve account held by OneApp Guarantee (the "Company") if a renter defaults under their lease, skips, or is evicted (the "Program"). There is no charge to the Property Manager for participating in the Program, and there is no obligation for the Property Manager to include any renter in the Program. For good and valuable consideration, the parties set forth below hereby agree to the following:
1. Conditions to Participation. Housing Provider’s participation in the Program with respect to any particular renter is subject to the following conditions with respect to that renter ("Renter"):
- The Renter shall have been screened by the Property Manager for eligibility for credit support under their rental criteria.
- As part of our application process, the Renter is required to provide truthful and accurate information regarding any past criminal history. This obligation is fundamental to our assessment of eligibility and ensures compliance with legal and regulatory obligations.
- The Renter is specifically asked to disclose any felony convictions that involve offenses against property, persons, government officials, or offenses related to firearms, illegal drugs, or sex crimes. Failure to disclose such convictions may result in disqualification from consideration or termination of any subsequent agreement.
- All information provided by the Renter regarding criminal history will be treated with the utmost confidentiality and will be used solely for the purpose of assessing eligibility for the relevant application or agreement.
- PMC partners establish screening parameters to which we are obligated, potentially influencing the outcomes of approval decisions.
- The Property Manager shall have entered into a valid lease agreement (the "Lease") with Renter for the subject residential property (the "Property") for not more than a thirteen(13) month term.
- The Property Manager shall have received an approval agreement (an "Approval Agreement") issued by the Company evidencing the Renter's participation in the program with respect to the property in question.
- The Renter has paid to the Company a fee equal to one (1) month's rent under the Lease, or such other amount as may be specified by Company (the "Fee").
- Upon satisfaction of these conditions, participation in the Program shall commence effective as of the start date of the Lease.
2. Reimbursement Pool. A portion of each Fee paid to the Company shall be deposited in a special account to fund reimbursements paid to Property Managers who participate in the Program (the "Reimbursement Pool"). The initial amount to be deposited from each Fee shall be a percentage of such Fee, and the Reimbursement Pool shall be established in an initial aggregate amount of $500,000 for every 2,000 active OneApp Guarantees, to be initially comprised of actual deposits or third-party support. The Company will monitor the amount on deposit in the Reimbursement Pool (not including any third-party support), and shall periodically withdraw funds from the Reimbursement Pool if the aggregate amount on deposit exceeds $500,000 for a 2,000 tranche of active OneApp Guarantees. Any amounts withdrawn by the Company from the Reimbursement Pool shall be treated as additional Fee payments to the Company and shall be fully earned upon withdrawal. The Company shall process reimbursements and disburse funds from the Reimbursement Pool to Property Managers on a monthly basis. If the amount of reimbursements processed in any month exceeds the amount available in the Reimbursement Pool, the Company will reimburse Property Managers on a pro rata basis, as determined by the individual claim amount versus the aggregate amount of claims against the Reimbursement Pool. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall have no obligation to fund reimbursements under the Program if there are no funds remaining on deposit in the Reimbursement Pool. The Company may, in its sole discretion, modify the amount of the Fee or the terms of this Section 2 at any time.
