Do I need a co-signer?

Usually no. If your situation is unusual we'll walk you through options — students, remote workers, and new-to-town folks are all welcome.

What's included?

Your monthly rent includes furnishings, utilities (power, water, gas), high-speed Wi-Fi, and regular common-area cleaning, plus access to the shared spaces.

How long can I stay?

Minimum stay is typically a few months; most residents stay a year or more. Flexible arrangements are possible — just ask.

Can I pay rent online?

Yes. After your lease is signed, you'll receive instructions to create your Tenant Portal, where you can manage rent and payments.

What about deposits?

Your completed-lease email shows the security deposit, prorated first month's rent, due date, and payment instructions for your lease.

Can I bring a pet?

Some houses are pet-friendly. Tell us about your buddy in the inquiry and we'll match you to the right room.
