i. APPLICATIONS

1. It’s free to apply. We will pay all of your screening costs.
Applications will be sent to screening upon completion of a rental
application and submission of all supporting documents (usually 3
periods of pay stubs and photo ID). Applications are sent to
screening in the order submissions are completed. Screening
usually takes 1-3 business to process. Based on screening,
additional documents may be required. Applications are approved
for lease offers in the order they finish processing (all screening
and documents received).

ii. MOVING IN

1. Once your application is approved, you will be given a copy of
your lease to review. Signature of an ‘agreement to lease’ and
payment of a reservation deposit will be required to hold the unit. The
‘agreement to lease’ is a 1-page document that locks in your lease
terms in exchange for the deposit. On move-in day, you will meet
with someone from our team for a final walkthrough so you can
see and inspect any work that was promised before signing.
Assuming everything is to your satisfaction, you will then sign the
lease, exchange keys, and pay the balance of your move-in costs.
An electronic copy of your lease will be provided later that day.
2. New residents also receive a move-in checklist with additional
information and reminders for getting setup in their new home.
