1) How much is the application fee?
The application fee is $50 per person that will be living in the property who is 18 and over and any co-signer's or guarantors.

2) How long does the application process take?
The application process normally can take from 5-7 business days. It depends heavily on how quickly you are able to provide information requested and how quickly your previous landlord(s) and employer responds. We encourage you to notify your employer and previous landlords that you are applying for a new home and to expect us to contact them.

3) Do you hold a property if I give you a security deposit in advance?
We do not hold any properties for any reason. If you have decided upon one of our properties you should complete the application process and sign a lease when one is offered to you. By being approved, signing the lease, and paying the 1st full month's rent and applicable security deposit you will secure the property and we will take it off the market.

4) What if there is more than one person that submits an application for the same property I did?
Applications are processed on a first come, first served basis based on the time stamp of the application in our processing system. We will let you know that another applicant is ahead of you in processing. If the application ahead of you starts to take too long, we will offer you the opportunity for a refund (prior to screening only) or to continue to wait until the other applicant is finished or leaves the application process. You will then be contacted to confirm your desire to continue.

5) How much is the pet deposit? And is there an additional monthly pet rent?
For approved pets at properties that permit them, the pet deposit is $500 (or the greater amount required by the landlord as pet policies vary from property to property) and it is refundable upon move out and no damages. For our properties with carpet a $150 minimum cleaning fee is assessed against your account. Pet rent of $25 per month per pet is also required.

6) Can you tell me about how much utilities run for the property?
We do not track this information for all properties but you may call BGE and ask them to provide you a monthly average of the cost of the gas/electric for that unit. 800-685-0123. That breakdown may or may not include shared utilities in some of our apartment buildings such as heat water/sewer or hot water. Water is NOT included at most of our properties. This cost varies greatly depending on usage. For Water/Sewer we recommend you budget $50-60 per month plus $10 for each additional person as a starting point (water only), but not a guarantee of costs.
