Can you hold a place before I apply?
No, we are a first come, first served company. This means the first person to submit a fully completed application will be in line first. We will confirm that this prospect can/will be taking the property. If not, we go forward to the second applicant.
-
Do I pay first month’s rent and last month’s rent with my security deposit?
No, we collect a FULL first month of rent and at least a FULL security deposit. The deposit is based upon your credit score and your ability to pay. It could be a month, a month and ½ or even two months which is the most that can be collected in the state of NC. Most tenants are only required to pay one month.

How old do you have to be to apply?
18 years of age.

Is the deposit refundable?
Yes, if we receive the property back in a similar condition to how you received it, without damages and if you do not owe any back rent or fees.

Who needs a cosigner?
If you are unemployed, a student or someone for whom we are requiring additional security deposit, then you could have a co-signer.

I want to move out, but my roommate wants to stay. What do I do?
Both of you should talk to us to work out this situation. You may be required to pay the balance of the lease, but you could possibly be released under certain circumstances. This is on a case by case basis.

My lease expiration is coming and I want to move out. What do I do?
Provide a WRITTEN notice 30 days prior your lease expiration date. All leases expire at the end of a month so you must provide this by the last day of the previous month. Our leases are usually one year long and renew for another year.
