How do I rent an apartment once I have decided I want one? 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 $400 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 hold any apartments with a deposit.Back to top
