Leasing FAQ
Which utilities are included?
Trash is included. Water, sewer and electric are not included and are paid by the resident.
How do I apply?
Before starting the screening process, we suggest a property tour. Once you've found the apartment that feels like “the one,” our leasing team will send you a link to our third-party screening system directly. View on Zillow is for viewing the listing.
What are the screening requirements?
The $35 application fee is refunded if you sign a lease with us. Our third-party screening partner will ask for personal information in order to run three reports: a background check, a soft credit pull and an eviction records check. We require no prior evictions, no serious criminal convictions and a credit score of 600 or above. Criteria may vary by property or rent amount, so please ask our team before you apply.
What is the security deposit?
The security deposit is one month of rent, plus a $200 pet deposit for accepted pets, refundable if there are no issues with the pet. For applicants who don’t fully meet the standard screening requirements, we may ask for last month’s rent in advance.
Do you allow pets?
Pet applications are reviewed case by case, at the discretion of the landlord. No pets over 30 lbs. are allowed. We love pets! Approved pets require a $200 pet deposit, which is refunded if there are no issues with the pet, and a $50 monthly pet fee. Pets must be approved in writing before move-in. Service and assistance animals are not pets and are not subject to the weight limit or pet fees. See our pet policy for details.
