Answers to your frequently asked questions
-
Can you hold a place before I apply?
Properties are typically rented on a first-come, first-served basis with a completed application and required fees. We recommend applying as soon as possible to secure a rental. -
Do I pay the first month’s rent and last month’s rent with my security deposit?
Move-in costs vary by property. Typically, residents are required to pay the first month’s rent and a security deposit before moving in. Some properties may also require last month’s rent. -
How old do you have to be to apply?
Applicants must be of legal age to enter into a lease agreement, which is typically 18 years or older. -
Is the deposit refundable?
Yes, security deposits are generally refundable, provided there is no damage beyond normal wear and tear and all lease terms are met. Deductions may apply for unpaid rent, damages, or cleaning fees. -
Who needs a cosigner?
A cosigner may be accepted if an applicant does not meet the income requirements, provided that the applicant is financially dependent on the cosigner to make the monthly rent payments. Cosigners must meet financial qualifications and sign a guarantor agreement. -
You have a property I want to rent. How do I apply?
Applications can typically be submitted online or in person. A completed application, application fee, and necessary documentation (such as proof of income and identification) are required. -
How do I pay rent?
Rent payments can usually be made online through a resident portal, by automatic bank transfer, or by check/money order, depending on the property’s payment options. -
I want to get a pet. What should I do?
Check your lease agreement and contact management before getting a pet. Some properties allow pets with an additional pet deposit or monthly pet rent, while others have restrictions. -
I want to move out, but my roommate wants to stay. What should I do?

My lease expiration is coming, and I want to move out. What should I do?
Most leases require written notice before moving out. Check your lease for the required notice period and submit your intent to vacate in writing by the deadline. -
Who is responsible for paying for repairs & maintenance requests?
