Frequently Asked Questions
Why do fees come before adding roommates?
Fees are collected early in the process to confirm your intent to apply, process screening and unlock the remaining steps, including inviting household members and beginning income verification.
Do my roommates also pay fees?
Each household member will need to pay their own application and screening fees depending on your property's requirements. Only the primary pays the admin fee.
Are fees refundable?
Fee refund policies vary by property. Please contact your property management team or refer to your application materials for details.
