Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply, and what are the application and deposit fees?

You can apply online through our leasing portal or stop by the leasing office to apply in person. Each adult pays a non-refundable $75 application fee, along with a one-time $150 administrative fee. Once you’re approved and select your home, a security deposit (typically $250 to one month’s rent) is paid at that time to reserve your apartment and help make your move-in process as seamless as possible.

What are your income, credit, and background requirements?

We require income of at least three times the monthly rent and review credit, background, and rental history according to our written rental criteria. If you have questions about your specific situation, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you apply.

Are utilities included in the rent?

Utilities are not included in the rent at The Sawyer. Residents are responsible for electric, internet, and cable, and typically pay a separate, usage-based charge for water, sewer, and trash that is billed through the community each month.
