Step Three – Tenant Suitability Screening The third step in the process is for the Owner/Manager to conduct a final eligibility review for those applicants deemed preliminarily eligible pursuant to Step 2 above.

A $20 application fee is required to be paid by credit or debit card online.

Affordability Period The affordability restrictions stated above will remain in effect in perpetuity at the discretion of the Town of Islip Town Board. Waitlist The Intake Waitlist will convert to a permanent waitlist once the 24 affordable units are leased-up. When vacancies occur, the first eligible applicant on the waitlist will be contacted to inform him/her that a unit is available at the preferred mode of contact as indicated on the Waitlist Intake Form. Three attempts will be made to inform the applicant before proceeding to the next applicant on the list; all attempts will be documented. If the applicant is no longer interested, the application will be removed from the waitlist with an explanation for the reason for the removal from the waitlist. Interested applicants will have 5 business days to provide a completed Formal Rental Application, together with the required documentation as set forth above in order to conduct income certification, employment verification, creditworthiness, and background checks as described in Step 2 and Step 3 above.
