    Next Steps After Approval

    STEP 01

    Security Deposit & Lease Signing

    Once approved, submit your security deposit by cashier’s check or money order. The deposit is typically equal to one month’s rent unless otherwise specified. Schedule a time to sign your lease. Once the lease is signed and the deposit received, the apartment will be removed from the market and reserved for your move-in date.

    STEP 02

    Transfer Utilities

    Contact all applicable utility providers to arrange service in your name effective on your move-in date. Utilities will be removed from the owner’s account on that date, so please avoid a service interruption. Provide the office with your utility account number(s) once the transfers are complete.

    STEP 03

    Obtain Renter’s Insurance

    Before move-in, obtain renter’s insurance with at least $500,000 in liability coverage. Ned M. Bass must be listed as an additional insured on the policy. Provide a copy of the declarations page (the first page of the policy) to the office.

    STEP 04

    Schedule Your Move-In Inspection

    Before receiving keys, contact the office to schedule a walk-through with the Property Manager to document the apartment’s condition prior to occupancy.

    Before scheduling your move-in inspection: Renter’s insurance must be active, and all required utilities must be transferred into your name.
    We look forward to welcoming you to your new home!
