No, a traditional security deposit is not required. Typically, a deposit equals one month’s rent, but you can choose to waive it by paying a $38 monthly fee instead. If you do pay a security deposit, it will be refunded when you move out—provided there are no damages to your apartment. Please contact the leasing team for full details about our deposit options.

Monthly rent depends on what apartment and apartment type you choose (i.e. if you want a standard 1-bedroom vs. a renovated 1-bedroom, or a 1-bedroom vs. a 2-bedroom). Please see our floor plans on our property pages to see prices and availability. Besides the privacy of your apartment, for communities outside of Philly, you’ll enjoy amenities around the community such as dog parks, playgrounds, parking, and swimming pools.

Every lease is a 12-month term. We currently do not offer short-term leases. Residents can renew their lease months in advance if they choose. If a resident is no longer renewing their lease, we ask for 60-day notice, although we’d be sad to see you go!

After completing your application, there is a $50 application fee. To officially be accepted for your apartment, you’ll need to pay first month’s rent and a security deposit (which is the same amount as your rent). You can elect to waive the security deposit, but in lieu of that you will be required to pay a monthly fee. If you are bringing a pet (or two), there is a one-time $350 fee and a $50 monthly fee for each pet.

Utilities, trash, and internet are added on to the rent at the start of the month. They are not included in the base rent. Certain utilities may require you to pay through a local utility service. Costs for utilities vary based on apartment size and/or usage. One gigabit premium Internet service is a required $70 monthly fee. This provides uninterrupted internet service at all times and a dedicated support team to ensure you are receiving the fastest, the best and the highest quality internet available.

Renter’s insurance is required. You can purchase the insurance through us or you can use a third-party company.

For many of our communities, we offer on-site parking. One vehicle per resident.

Maintenance requests are made through your online resident portal. Of course, we are more than happy to take your call in the office, as well. We do have emergency 24-hour maintenance support, so we special numbers that will help you reach our team any time outside of our office hours.

Once we receive your request, our team is notified and communicated to our professional maintenance team. You will be contacted once our maintenance team is on the way!

Guests are allowed, but there are restrictions for how long a guest can stay in the apartment. Please ask our on-site management for details. Roommates are permitted and must be on the lease with the primary resident. We consider our apartments “quiet homes” and ask that our residents respect their neighbors by keeping noise levels low enough to not disturb others in the building.

Subletting is prohibited without management’s written consent. This is considered a violation of your residential lease agreement.

Residents are prohibited from making any alterations or improvements to the apartment without written consent from management. This includes changes to appliances, fixtures, furnishings, and equipment; painting; installing wallpaper or adhesives; changing or installing locks or burglar alarm system; and using nails, screws, or fastening devices on the walls, floors, ceilings, or woodwork. For a full list, please see the residential lease agreement.

Exception: you are allowed to use a reasonable number of small nails or tacks on walls to hang pictures.

We understand that things come up and it requires you to leave earlier than expected. If that occurs, we do ask that you give our manager at least 60 days written notice. We do require an early termination fee of two times your rent. This will avoid any potential non-payment liability as long as you are in excellent standing!
