MONTHLY RATES-Unfurnished

Apartment STYLE AND ARCHITECTURE...
Apartments Range in size from 1 to 500 units per community, they offer quiet privacy through multiple structure complexes spread over luxurious landscapes. The majority of rental units are two stories tall, with private entrances for each apartment.

FEATURES AND AMENITIES...
Most apartment rental communities offer a variety of amenities including pools, spas, health club memberships, tennis courts, racquetball courts, exercise facilities, and spectacular clubhouses, reflecting the recreation oriented Arizona lifestyle. Apartment Locators will ensure you find the particular amenities you desire.

UTILITIES...
Landlords generally pay for water, sewer and trash service. Residents are usually responsible for electricity service. Once we have found the best rental for you, your Apartment Locators consultant will be happy to provide you with information about contacting the Utility services.

DEPOSITS...
Security deposits vary by community and with the rent on the unit. An average in Tucson is $ 250, required upon move-in with the first month’s rent.

PETS...
Approximately 40% of the apartment communities allow small pets with an additional deposit. Larger pets can be accommodated with limited availability. Apartment Locators will save you time and effort by highlighting those properties where your pet is welcome.

LEASE TERM...
Most communities require 6, 9, or 12 month leases. However, through Apartment Locators some communities offer “month-to-month” , “home buyer” and “transfer” clauses which allow more flexibility. This added flexibility (i.e. a short term lease), will usually increase monthly rental costs somewhat.

What FEES should I expect when I rent an apartment?
There are many different fees that you should expect when you plan to rent an apartment.

1. Application Fees
This is a standard practice for most any rental property
This fee is not refundable

• Each apartment community requires completion of an application
• Each applicant must be 18 years old
• Each occupant 18 years or older must complete an application

2. Credit check
It is beneficial to bring bank account numbers and credit references when you apply. It may also be advantageous to request a copy of your credit report before you begin the rental process. This will range in cost from $2 to $10. You may request a credit report through Equifax 1-800-997-2493/ www.Equifax.com or Trans Union LLC 1-800-888-4213/ www.transunion.com. If you have a poor credit history, you may be required to pay a few months rent in advance or you may not be approved at all.

4. Pet Fees and Deposits

If you are a pet owner, be sure to check with each potential landlord regarding pet requirements, and verify the terms before signing a lease. Properties that prohibit pets will enforce this restriction, and many so not allow pets.
