Tenant Background Certification Policy
To help make Summers Creek a safer, more desirable place to live for all residents by requiring landlord owners (owners who rent or grant their properties to others in their absence) to certify that their prospective tenants (adult occupants to reside at their property) have no criminal activity in their background that would pose a risk to the residents of Summers Creek. In so doing, this policy also seeks to mitigate liability exposure for the Summers Creek Homeowners' Association (SCHOA) by placing greater emphasis and responsibility for tenant screening on landlord owners. The liability for landlord owners is also reduced by providing a means of demonstrating that they have done the proper due diligence and applied the proper judgment in the tenant selection process should any future litigable incidents involving their tenants occur.
