HOW TO GET
ON THE WAIT LIST FOR FALL 2024-2025
Thank you for visiting The Apartment
Store! We will begin accepting applications and security
deposits for our 2024-2025 wait list immediately. If you are
interested in securing an apartment in a specific building or a
specific type of unit, please read the following instructions
thoroughly. Feel free to call our office with any
questions!
HOW IT
WORKS
Current resident guests have until
October 20, 2023, to renew their current leases. Apartments
that are not renewed will be assigned to applicants on the wait
list. Current resident guests who wish to transfer from one
property to another will receive first priority. Then,
assignments will be made in the order in which applications and
security deposits were received and approved. All assignments
will be assessed individually, assigning each applicant’s first
choice that is available. IF YOU ARE ASSIGNED TO ONE
OF YOUR APARTMENT CHOICES, YOU ARE OBLIGATED TO SIGN A LEASE FOR
THE ENTIRE LEASE TERM. IF WE CANNOT ASSIGN YOU TO ANY OF YOUR
APARTMENT CHOICES, YOU WILL BE RELEASED FROM YOUR APPLICATION AND
WILL RECEIVE YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT BACK IN
FULL.
WHAT YOU NEED TO
DO
CREDIT
APPLICATION/ WAIT LIST DISCLAIMER AGREEMENT: Submit
one credit application per person intending on living in the
apartment, along with a Rental Wait List Agreement signed by all
applicants.
APARTMENT CHOICES:
When you submit the Rental Application and Wait List
Disclaimer, you must provide a list of the types of apartments or
specific buildings in which you are interested. Your list may
be up to 3 apartment choices, but you cannot change your choices
once submitted. BE SURE TO ONLY LIST APARTMENTS THAT
YOU WILL BE HAPPY LIVING IN, BECAUSE ONCE YOU ARE ASSIGNED AN
APARTMENT, YOU ARE OBLIGATED TO THE LEASE
TERMS.
SECURITY DEPOSIT &
APPLICATION FEE: In addition to the paperwork
mentioned above, applicants must submit a full security deposit
equal to one month’s rent of the first apartment choice, plus a $55
per person application fee. This can be paid by check, money
order or online with a credit card. All security deposits and
application fees will be deposited
immediately. If you are assigned an
apartment other than your first choice, any difference in security
deposit must be paid in full immediately. If we cannot assign
you to an apartment that matches one of your choices, you will
receive your security deposit and application fee back in
full.
All remaining apartments will be available for showings and
leasing beginning October 23, 2023.
All showings are by appointment only. Appointments will be
in person or virtual as permissible by state and local health
guidelines at that time.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
When should
I submit my application and security deposit? DO NOT
submit an application and security deposit until you are 100%
certain that you want to live in one of your apartment
choices. Once submitted, you are obligated to stay on the
Wait List and accept the lease terms for your assigned apartment
choice without having the opportunity to see the
apartment.
How many apartment choices can
I list when I apply? You can list up to 3
apartments, but make sure that you will be just as happy living in
your last choice as your first choice. Remember, if you are
offered one of your choices, you are obligated to sign the lease
without seeing the apartment first.
Do all of my roommates have to
come to the office to get on the wait list? As long
as you have a completed Credit Application, signed Wait List
Disclaimer Form and $55 application fee from each applicant, along
with a full security deposit, all roommates do not have to be
approved for the wait list.
When can I see my assigned
apartment? Wait List applicants who receive an
apartment assignment are obligated to sign the lease without seeing
the apartment first. Since many of our resident guests just
moved into their apartments in August, we feel it is too early to
show their apartments before our leasing season begins on October
23, 2023 Showings will be done by appointment only Monday-Friday
between 9:00am and 4:00pm. Once you have been assigned an
apartment, please call the office to schedule an appointment that
works best for all roommates.
When will I
know if I’ve been assigned to one of my apartment
choices? We will notify all applicants on the Wait
List by end of business day on Monday, October 23,
2023.
MAKE AN INFORMED
DECISION!
Please read all necessary paperwork
thoroughly and discuss your choice with your parents first.
WE DO REQUIRE COSIGNERS FOR ALL OF OUR UNDERGRADUATE
APARTMENTS. Cosigner signatures are not required to stay on
the Wait List; however, cosigners will be required to fill out a
financial form documenting their Social Security numbers once you
are assigned an apartment.
If you have any questions about our leasing process or any of our
properties or apartments, please call The Apartment Store at (814)
