This is likely the most common question we get.

The deposit on almost all our properties is equal to one months rent.  At times, if someone has a clean application, we’ll lower our total move in costs.  On the other side, we have a “second chance” program where by we can accept people with less than perfect credit or rental history if they’re able to pay a higher deposit.  What we can’t do is take someone that has bad credit, evictions, and let them move in with little deposit. 

So if you have items on there that might disqualify you for other properties (broken leases, bad credit, etc.) then we can still approve you, but it might come with a higher deposit.  But at least you have the option of taking the unit if you are able to pay that deposit.  Plus, the deposit is refundable so it’s your money, not ours.  We just hold it during the term of the lease.
