Frequently asked

Questions, answered

Can I apply if my credit score is below 650?

Yes — apply with a qualified co-signer (650+ credit, 5× rent income) and we'll consider your application. Co-signers are common; we don't penalize for them.

Are pets allowed?

Most of our residences are pet-friendly with a small monthly pet rent ($25–50/mo per pet). Each listing notes specific pet rules. ESAs are always accommodated per fair housing law.

What happens if I'm denied?

We tell you why and refund any unused portion of the application fee. Most denials are credit-related; co-signers usually fix that.

How long is the lease?

Standard 12-month leases. Some residences offer 18-month or month-to-month renewal at lease end.

When do I move in?

Move-in date is set at lease signing. Most leases start within 30 days of the residence becoming available.
