Utility responsibility varies by property. Please refer to the individual listing for details on what is and is not included in the rent.

After Approval

What happens after I am approved?

Once approved, you will receive next steps including lease signing and move-in instructions. Our team will guide you through everything needed to get settled in.

Properties are typically secured once the lease is signed and the required move-in funds are received. We recommend acting promptly once you are approved to avoid losing the unit to another applicant.

We use a lockbox system for scheduled property viewings. You can find step-by-step instructions for accessing the lockbox on our lockbox instructions page.
