Leasing Questions
We want you to experience leasing your way! We offer in-person and virtual agent guided tours. Recorded video tours are also available to be sent via email if you aren't able to find a time to connect with one of our agents. Click here to schedule a tour.
Each touring adult should bring a valid government issued photo ID. When you find the home you are looking for, you will need your two most recent pay statements, or another form of income verification in order to complete your application with ease. Don't have access to recent pay statements? View our rental criteria to find out what additional forms of income documentation are accepted.
We love our furry friends! We know that pets are your family too. That is why, at Centerspace, we offer pet-friendly apartment living. All of our apartment communities are cat-and dog-friendly. We welcome you and your furry friends with open arms. View our complete pet policy here.
We're excited that you are interested in making one of our communities home! Applying is easy, and you can access our online application portal a couple of ways. If you are working with an agent, they can send you a direct application invitation to apply for the specific home you are interested in. If you aren't working with an agent, or are just too excited to wait, you can visit the community's website and apply now directly from the website.
An application fee and deposit, in the form of earnest money, places the apartment on hold while we complete the screening process. The screening process verifies credit, rental, criminal history and household income. Once this is completed, the application will either be accepted, accepted with conditions, or denied. This process takes anywhere from just a couple of minutes up to five business days. An agent at the community will update you when the screening process is complete, with the outcome and next steps.
Centerspace uses a third party screening company to process all rental applications. This process includes a verification of credit, rental history, income and criminal background. Income to rent ratios may vary based on local or state requirements. For more information, please visit our rental criteria page.
Yes, a deposit, often referred to as earnest money at the time of application is required to reserve a home. The deposit is due at the time of application, and is paid electronically during the online application process. The amount of the deposit required may vary based on the community you are applying to and the screening outcome of your application.
Yes, Centerspace requires residents to have renters insurance. However, if a resident opts out of renters insurance or have a policy that does not meet our requirements there will be a monthly renters insurance exemption/non-compliance fee.
The quick answer is sometimes. If a utility service is billed by the provider directly to the resident, in the resident's name, the resident is responsible for setting the utility up. All phone, cable, and internet needs are the responsibility of the resident and is setup privately. Please reach out to our leasing team for additional details on utilities.
