We do start taking a wait list in November, if there is a specific property you are interested in you can call or email to be put on the wait list. Back to top How can I see one of your houses or apartments if I am intersted in one? Call us!

You will need to call the office at (614) 291-5001 to set up a leasing appointment with the Leasing Manager, Kelly. At your leasing appointment you need to put down half of the total security deposit (one month's rent plus $40 for a key deposit or $300 for a studio at one of our studio buildings.)During your leasing appointment Kelly will go over the terms of the lease agreement and give you a 2 week deadline to complete and return all of your paperwork along with the remaining balance of the security deposit. Only 1 person from the group needs to attend the leasing appointment, however if anyone has specific questions about the lease agreement or terms of the lease, we encourage you to attend. THE ONLY WAY TO SECURE AN APARTMENT IS TO SCHEDULE A LEASING APPOINTMENT AND PUT DOWN A PORTION OF THE DEPOSIT. We do not temporarly hold any apartments.

Leasing appointments last 10-20 minutes depending on the size of the group. Back to top Do I need a co-signer? Yes.
