You pay a non-refundable application fee of $50 for each occupant 18 or older. To hold the apartment you pay $300 - $900 refundable (call for details).

The total combined annual income for all leaseholders in an apartment must be at least 3X the annual rent (example: $1,000 monthly rent X 12 months = $12,000 X 3 = $36,000 minimum annual income). There is no maximum income limit.
