Can you hold a place before I apply?
No. We do not allow anyone to hold a property without first applying for the property. Once an application is approved, tenants hold the property with their full deposit.

Do I pay first month’s rent and last month’s rent with my security deposit?
No. Tenants pay the deposit, first month’s rent, and any additional fees (pet fees, utility fees, etc.) before they may move in. Last month’s rent is not required to move in.

How old do you have to be to apply?
Prospective tenants must be 18 years old to apply. Any adult 18 years or older potentially living in the property is required to apply.

Is the deposit refundable?
The deposit is refundable based on the condition of the property upon move-out. Each property that is rented will have a move-in inspection performed, and the amount of deposit refunded would be based on the property’s appearance at move-out as compared to the move-in inspection.

I want to move out, but my roommate wants to stay. What do I do?
This is always a sticky situation, and one that should be discussed in detail before you sign a lease. Both roommates are responsible for the lease. If one roommate moves out, and the other one stays, the full amount of rent is still due. The roommate that moved out during a lease is still responsible for the rent until the lease expires and proper notice is given.

Depending on the nature of the maintenance request, determines who would be responsible for paying for the repairs.

The landlord is responsible for repairing HVAC systems, roof leaks, garbage disposals, leaking faucets, anything related to normal wear and tear, etc.
