Can you hold a place before I apply?

Do I pay first month’s rent and last month’s rent with my security deposit?
Move-in costs vary by property. Residents are required to pay the first month’s rent and a security deposit before moving in. Anchor does not require last month’s rent. -
How old do you have to be to apply?
Applicants must be at least 18 years old to legally enter into a lease agreement. -
Is the deposit refundable?

I want to get a pet. What do I do?
Check your lease agreement and contact management before getting a pet. Some properties allow pets with additional fees, while others do not. All pets must be approved prior to moving into the property. -
I want to move out, but my roommate wants to stay. What do I do?
Lease agreements typically require all tenants to be responsible for the full lease term. If one tenant wants to stay, they may need to qualify on their own or find a replacement tenant with approval from management. -
My lease expiration is coming and I want to move out. What do I do?
You’re required to submit written notice at least 30 days prior to your move-out date. Review your lease for any specific terms, then email your notice of intent to vacate by the deadline to ensure a smooth transition. -
Who is responsible for paying for repairs & maintenance requests?
