Residents may choose to provide both liability insurance and renter’s insurance separately for a reduced RBP price of $27 per month.

Security Deposit: Approved applicants have two options for security deposits. The first option is a traditional security deposit, where a lump sum is paid after application is held on account for the duration of your tenancy. The security deposit can be used to pay for any unpaid charges, including rent and utilities, damages and/or cleaning needed at move-out. If your account does not have a final balance due, then the full security deposit amount will be refunded. The second option is our Security Deposit Replacement Program. With this option, you will pay a monthly non-refundable fee for the duration of your tenancy instead of the traditional upfront deposit. No funds will be held to use towards any balance on your account at the time of move out. You as the tenant will still be responsible for any charges assessed at move out.
