Frequently Asked Questions

Are pets allowed?

Yes, some of our units are pet-friendly.  If you have a pet, we require a $500 pet deposit in addition to your security deposit.

What happens after my application is approved?

If everything on your application checks out and the unit is still available, then:

1. We will contact you to go over the lease and final details.

2. You’ll review and sign the lease.

3. We need one month's security deposit, in addition to the first month's rent.

4. You’ll switch the utilities into your name.

Once you get your keys and it’s time to move-in, you can expect a fully cleaned and inspected unit that’s ready for you to call home!

Your security deposit is the equivalent of one month’s rent.

Rent is due between the first and fifth of each month. After that, a $8/day late fee is added to your rent.

You can pay your rent by check, cash or money order. Many of our tenants schedule automatic check payments with their banks.
