Any affidavit made to support the application, including an affidavit to corroborate residency, must:

1. Be based upon the personal knowledge of the affiant;

2. Contain only facts which would be admissible in evidence;

3. Give factual support to each allegation in the application;  and

4. Establish that the affiant is competent to testify to the contents of the affidavit.
