applications will be kept on file for future reference.

Dragon)

BASIC SHOP RENTER POLICIES/EXPECTATIONS
------------------------------------
The renter should meet the following basic requirements before applying:

Be a citizen of Cyrene, Ashtan, Eleusis, Mhaldor, or rogue, and in
good standing with the city of Cyrene.

Be a Licensed Master Shopkeeper or plan to acquire a Master Shopkeeper
License if your application is accepted. The rental agreement will not
be finalised without it.

Agree to acquire an artefact keyring when possible if one is not already
in their possession. Failure to do so before the end of the rental
agreement will potentially disqualify the renter from renewing their
lease or leasing again in the future.

RENTER APPLICATION QUESTIONNAIRE
------------------------------------

1. ) Do you have a Master Shopkeeper License and/or an artefact keyring?
If no to either, when can you meet the Basic Shop Renter Expectations?

2.) Do you have any shopkeeping experience? If so, please describe your
past experience, and include any applicable references that could be
contacted.

3.) Will you be the sole shopkeeper, or will you have help? If you will
have help, who will be helping you? Please note that at most a shop can
have one "owner" and two managers and should have no more than three
keys made for the shop for security purposes.

4.) What sort of shop will you be running? What kind of items will you
be stocking?

5.) What tradeskills, if any, do you (or your helper) have? If none, how
do you intend to acquire goods for your shop?

6.) Do you own/rent other shops? If yes, where? Please note that if you
already own or rent somewhere else you will receive lower priority.

7.) The Chancellery has a city-owned clan set up for all shop owners and
shop managers in Cyrene that provides information and serves as a place
where all shopkeeping information will be shared, please note that you
will be required to join and stay in this clan as part of renting a shop
in Cyrene. Just answer "yes" to show you read this and agree.
