All the units are on lockboxes, making it easy to view. * You don't need a perfect credit score. If you're a hard-working person, we can look beyond your credit score. * If you don't have all the money for a security deposit, that's fine too. We can work something out, and the payment can be made over time. * I love pets and don't charge pet rent. There is a one-time, non-refundable pet cleaning fee of $250. All pets must be pre-screened and qualified for insurance purposes. * I'm obsessed with having a pest-free property and include pest control in the rent for every unit. * We treat past evictions on a case-by-case basis. * If you prefer to meet in person, no problem. * I have dedicated maintenance staff on-call 24/7, and all our equipment is brand new and under warranty. * We offer on-site storage rental available if you need it. * We have washer/dryer units available, or you can bring your own. Ask us how. Thank you, and I look forward to meeting you! Philip, Lacey, and Laura with John Paul II Hold
