Can I get my Credit Contingency Fee removed or reduced?

Applicants who meet our screening criteria and get approved, but who have less than excellent credit have to pay a monthly "Credit Contingency Admin Fee." This accounts for the fact that our experience has shown that these tenants are more likely to cause our staff additional workload due to late payments, bounced payments, and other lease violations. Depending upon the tenant's credit score this fee will vary and is not able to be waived or reduced during a lease term. When applying for a lease renewal, a new application may be submitted and we will base the new lease based on the new credit score.
