Return to Questions
- 3. Is there a lease deposit and is it refundable?
- The
deposit is one and one-half times the monthly rental rate. It is
completely refundable, provided that you fulfill the terms of the lease
agreement and return the apartment to us in as clean and undamaged a
condition as when you take possession. It may not be applied to the
monthly rents.
- 4. Do you accept pets?
- Sorry,
no. Assistive animals with persons requiring such assistance are
excepted with prior approval from management.
- 5. What other restrictions are there?
- No
personal contact for business or profit on the premises.
- No
excessive noise or nuisance. Most residents are grad students and
working professionals who require a peaceful environment.
- Occupancy
is limited to persons approved by us in writing prior to their
residency.

miscellaneous policies are addressed in our lease agreement and rules.
- 6. What type of parking is available?

restricted parallel street parking is available for a $2.50 annual
charge.

-
 - 7. Is there air conditioning or evaporative
cooling?
- Air
conditioning. Actually, heating and cooling is by new (June, 2007)
high-efficiency heat pump. Since one thermostat controls both, you
decide if and when heating or cooling is needed year-round.
-
-
- 8. What appliances are included?
- Frost
free refrigerators and electric ranges with ovens. There are no
built-in dishwashers, since the 1940 cabinets (with ceramic tile
counter tops) are slightly too short for today's machines. A "portable"
dishwasher could be used, but might need to be moved to another room
when not in use.
