Frequently Asked Questions

We are so glad you are interested! We can’t wait to meet you! ☺ You must first fill out a Rental Application and pay the $40.00 Non-Refundable Application Fee. You can either drop off the completed application to our office in our night drop, email or mail it to the address that is listed on the application. You can find the Online Rental Application here.

We start accepting applications for the Fall on January 1^st. 

You will then need to pay the security deposit. Properties are leased on a first come, first served basis. WE CAN NOT GUARANTEE A UNIT UNTIL THE ENTIRE SECURITY DEPOSIT IS PAID IN FULL. 

The Security Deposit will be the equivalent of one month’s rent. It must be paid for all applicants on the lease before a lease will be executed. The money will be held in our escrow account and returned less the mandatory deductions at the end of the lease.

Yes. The length of your lease will be 12 months. Our leases typically run August 8th through July 31st. 

Yes. We require a parent or guardian signature on all of our leases. All parents/guardians will sign the same lease per apartment or condo and must then be witnessed by a notary public.

Our move-in date on all of our properties is August 8th. Due to the fact that we manage a multitude of properties and it is common for many people to have conflicts, we are not able to make exceptions. 

No, unfortunately we do not roommate match.   

No, all of our units are painted prior to move-in. They are all painted neutrally to match any décor.  

Sorry Fido, you have to stay home! We DO NOT allow pets at the majority of our properties. 

The ONLY exceptions are University Villages, Pecan Place, Colonial Arms & Gas Light Corner. There is also a $300.00 Non-Refundable Pet Fee that would be required prior to move-in. (Windermere properties have a higher pet fee on pet friendly units and are set depending on rent amount.) Should you violate our pet policy, the first offense is a fine of $500.00 and is strictly enforced. Regardless of the circumstances, the pet fine must be paid. If you have an ESA it must be disclosed BEFORE move in and you must follow our required paperwork or there is a $500 fine. 

There are several ways that tenants can let us know of maintenance issues! You can call them in or fill out the on-line maintenance request form located here. Please note that we prefer the tenants who are living in the units to call in maintenance requests rather than parents.

To insure you will have electricity on move-in day, we encourage you to get them set up as soon as possible.
