They will help you settle in your room, show you around the space, and introduce you to the other community members.

To apply, we ask for some standard personal identification and contact details. It's also important to show that you can comfortably cover the rent. This can be done by providing proof of income or demonstrating cash assets. If you have any questions about the process, feel free to reach out!

We evaluate applicants based on a few key criteria to ensure a secure and comfortable living environment for everyone:

Standard Screening: This includes necessary background checks and review by our team, with final approval from the local Community Manager.

Our standard procedure includes designated move-in and move-out times. This is necessary to allow our team time to properly clean and prepare the room for the next resident.

Any requests for exceptions must be submitted well in advance and are subject to availability and potential additional fees.
