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.

Neighborhood restricted parallel street parking is available for a $48 annual charge.  More information is available at Parkwise -- City of Tucson (opens in new window).

 

 

7. Is there air conditioning or evaporative cooling?

It is known for its bike routes, recreational facilities, pleasant areas for walking and jogging and generally quiet, settled environment.
