Frequently Asked Resident Questions

  • Q: Can you hold a place before I apply?

    A: We do not hold a property until application has been complete, approved and your security deposit has been paid. We will then only hold a property for 14 days for delayed move-in. If you decide to not move forward with the property, you will be charged the prorated days that we took the property off of the market and held it for you. And that will be deducted from your deposit, and then the remainder will be returned to you.
