I saw a property that I love - how do I apply?
We have a great online application process! The rental application is completed through our website. You will need a valid government issued ID and proof of income, among other items.
If I am an international student - how do I apply?
International students will also complete our standard online application. You also need to provide your immigration status documents such as: Visa, I-20, J-1, F-1, and university acceptance letter or job offer letter as well.
How much will I pay in up-front costs when I sign the lease?
We require a $55 application fee per applicant (and $20 for guarantors if applicable), a $275 non-refundable administration fee, first month's rent, security deposit, and utility deposit. If additional conditions apply upon screening (such as pets and/or parking), additional fees will be required.
What is an Administrative Fee?
The Administrative Fee is intended to offset the expenses related to the time and resources spent on processing a new lease (e.g., underwriting, preparing lease documents and other paperwork), coordinating the move-in process, marketing and other administrative tasks involved in renting an apartment. The fee is a non-refundable, one-time charge that is paid once the application is approved and the lease is generated for signature. It is separate from the application fee, security deposit, utility deposit and monthly rent.
What is the Application Fee?
The Application Fee is intended to cover the cost of credit and background checks and to hold the apartment for the applicant (i.e., keep it off the market during the application process).
Do I need a guarantor?
Typically, guarantors are needed if you do not meet the income requirements of 3x the rent. Please note that if a guarantor is married, we require the spouse to also be added as a guarantor. However, if you are an international student with appropriate documentation, such as an F-1 Student Visa and a Form I-20, you typically not need a guarantor.

All utilities are paid by the resident.

Plus, all out properties are wired for either Comcast Xfinity or Verizon services (which you may sign up for by contacting the relevant provider).
Do you offer furnished apartments?
