This is STEP 5b in the application process.
Below is the text of the "Good Faith Agreement", an agreement that you are required to read, understand, and sign. The home share application will be rejected if you do not agree to, and do not sign, the printed form of this agreement.
IF you apply for this home share, and IF you are accepted, and IF you accept the homeowner's offer, this agreement guarantees that you will follow through with signing the Home Share Agreement, or forefeit the application fee if you don't. This agreement does not by itself obligate you to anything other than to follow through with your promise to sign the Home Share Agreement IF you accept the homeowner's offer in the first place.
PRINTER SETTINGS: Once you have read and understand this agreement and the "Authorization to Collect Personal Information", you can print out both documents on one 8.5"x11" piece of paper (portrait, set to between 90-95%, pg 1 of 1), then sign and date where indicated. Click the "Print" link at the bottom of this page.
Text of the Good Faith Agreement (link to the actual agreement below)
"By my signature below I hereby affirm that, IF I find the offered living arrangement and the terms & conditions to my liking, and the homeowner accepts me as a suitable tenant, I fully intend at this time to accept the homeowner's offer and enter into a home sharing contract with the homeowner. I understand that I will be given the chance to formally accept or decline such an offer after this application has been submitted. I understand that this agreement is not the Home Share Agreement.
In order to demonstrate my full commitment to this decision, I have enclosed the required application fee of eighty dollars ($80.00 U.S. per person) in (a) the form of a USPS-issued or store-issued money order, bank-issued cashier's check, or personal check made payable to "R.S. Lasswell" that will be submitted to the homeowner with the application and this document, or (b) an electronic funds transfer via PayPal, with the application and this document mailed separately (application may be submitted online in either case). I understand that thirty dollars ($30) of the application fee will be used to obtain credit and criminal history reports about me, and is NON-refundable, unless the application is rejected as incomplete.
I understand that the remaining fifty dollars ($50) will be refunded to me IF (a) the application is rejected as incomplete, or (b) it is determined that I would not be a suitable housemate, or (c) I subsequently do not find the living arrangement and/or the stated terms & conditions to my liking, and decline a formal offer from the homeowner.
I understand and agree that should the homeowner make me a formal offer, and I accept, I will sign the Home Share Agreement and be legally bound by all of it's provisions, and the remaining fifty dollars ($50) will be credited towards my security deposit. I further understand and agree that (a) if it is determined that I knowingly provided false, misleading or fraudulent information on the application, or (b) if I have accepted a formal offer, but fail to sign the Home Share Agreement, I will forfeit the remaining fifty dollars ($50) of the application fee."
I have read and understand the above agreement and the "Authorization to Collect Personal Information" statement and am ready to print BOTH documents out. Here's your last chance to read both agreements again (this link will open in a new window or tab)...
