Missionary Housing Application

Disclosures

1. The selection of missionaries to reside in the missionary apartments is made by the President’s Cabinet of MABTS. Requests for missionary Housing should be addressed to the Campus Life Office. All requests for missionary housing will be forwarded to the resident’s Cabinet for final approval. All decisions by the President’s Cabinet regarding missionary housing are final.
2. Missionaries who are not graduates of MABTS must be on stateside assignment from the International Mission Board (IMB) of the Southern Baptist Convention. Missionaries who are retired or retiring from the IMB are not eligible.
3. IMB missionaries who will teach at MABTS during their stateside assignment will be given the greatest consideration by the President’s Cabinet.
4. IMB missionaries who will take seminary classes during their stateside assignment will be given greater consideration by the President’s Cabinet.
5. Graduates from MABTS on stateside assignment from a mission agency other than the IMB will be given consideration on an individual basis.
6. Missionaries may reside in Student Housing for up to one calendar year. Any extensions are not guaranteed unless granted by the President’s Cabinet. Any application for an extension must be made at least one month prior to the last day of occupancy. Consideration for an extension will be given contingent upon the continued
availability of missionary units. Extensions may require that you transfer to another unit.
7. The Campus Life Office and the President’s Cabinet will work directly with supporting churches to place missionaries from their church in the missionary apartments. However, missionary apartments are assigned on a first-come basis. Therefore, it is very important for churches to request an apartment for their
missionaries well in advance of their scheduled furlough.
8. Each of the six missionary apartments is fully furnished with items necessary for maintaining a home (towels, sheets, flatware, appliances, etc...). Churches supporting the missionary apartments are not responsible for providing household items or furnishings.
9. All lease regulations pertaining to students residing at Mid-America Student Housing also apply to furloughing missionaries. NO PETS are allowed.
10. Fees must be paid at the onsite management office, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Checks should be made payable to MASH. Keys may be picked up at this time. You will be required to sign a cancelable lease, binding you to the rules and regulations governing student housing.
11. Any apartment problems (leaks, broken fixtures, etc...) or maintenance requests should be reported to the management office. Any calls to MABTS will be referred to the property manager.
12. Ledic Management will provide all lawn service for the apartments.
13. The maximum occupancy of a three-bedroom apartment is two adults and six children. Any exceptions must be made by the President’s Cabinet. Multiple families will not be allowed to reside in one apartment.
14. Mid-America Student Housing, Inc. (MASH) provides insurance on the apartment buildings. Insurance for personal belongings in the apartment is the responsibility of the stateside assignment missionary.
15. Missionary residents will be responsible for cleaning all rooms, especially the kitchen, bedroom, and bathrooms before vacating the premises. All dishes must be washed, linens laundered, carpets vacuumed, keys returned promptly to the Property Manager’s office during regular business hours. Expenses incurred for cleaning or repairs are the responsibility of the residents if the apartment is not left in good condition.
