Common questions

Things we get asked.

Submitting the application is free. If we move forward after reviewing it, you will pay $35 directly to TransUnion for the SmartMove credit and background check — we will email you instructions when we get to that step.

Water and trash are included on every lease. Tenants pay their own electric (Liberty) and internet (Spectrum) directly — we have found this saves tenants money compared to bundling everything into rent.

Yes, on a case-by-case basis. There is a $400 non-refundable pet deposit per pet. Tell us about your pet on the application — type, count, breed, and weight — and we will follow up with any specifics.

Each unit comes with one reserved off-street parking spot. Additional vehicles can use street parking subject to local rules.

One month's rent, refundable at move-out subject to standard California security deposit law.

No. Long-term leases are for residential use only. Subletting and short-term rental are not permitted.

Yes. Once you submit an application, or if you have specific questions before applying, we will schedule a 15-minute walkthrough.

From application to move-in is typically under a week. We respond to applications within 48 hours and lease signing happens digitally once we have agreement on terms.

After we review your initial application, we use TransUnion SmartMove for credit, criminal, and eviction screening. The $35 fee is paid directly to TransUnion — not to us. We will email the link after our first review.
