HOW TO GET ON THE WAITLIST FOR FALL
2024-2025
Thank you for visiting The Apartment
Store! We will begin accepting applications and security deposits
for our 2024-2025 waitlist 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 waitlist.
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 Waitlist 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 23rd, 2023.
All showings are by appointment
only.
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
waitlist? As long as you have a completed
Credit Application, signed Waitlist 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
waitlist.
When can I see my
assigned apartment? Waitlist 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 23rd, 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
Waitlist by end of business day on Monday, October 23rd,
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)
238-4911 or visit us online at
