What is renter's insurance? Do I need to buy renter's insurance?

All apartments require insurance as a way to protect your rights! The main purpose of renter's insurance is to ensure that if there is a water leak, fire, etc., you will not suffer financial loss. Loss of belongings is also covered by renters insurance! When obtaining renters insurance, be sure you understand what specifically is covered by the insurance.

Is the area around the apartment safe?

I'm sure everyone is very concerned about the security system of the apartment and the safety of the neighborhood, so before choosing an apartment, you can ask about the combination locks, such as whether you need to enter the apartment by entering the code or need to sense the code key to enter? Is the apartment monitored? If so, the security factor will be greatly increased.

How do I pick up the keys to my apartment?

You have to go to the leasing office to pick up the keys, so be sure to check their office hours. Of course, if there are special circumstances (such as arriving in Tacoma in the early morning, etc.) remember to contact the apartment in advance to see if the apartment has a solution. Otherwise, you should contact your friends in advance to pick up the keys, or stay at a friend's house for one night! More move-in details can be found in your move-in instructions!

When will I receive the move-in instruction?

We typically send out the move in instruction 2 weeks before your lease start date. Be sure to check your email and contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

What should I do if the facilities in the room are broken (e.g. the toilet is clogged)? Who usually pays for this repair?

You can submit maintenance requests, and the apartment will schedule and then come to your home to repair the problem. If it's normal tear and wear, the costs are on us, if the problem is caused by the tenant, then it is paid by the tenant.

If I have a friend looking for housing, what’s the referral policy?

Prospective residents must mention the current resident’s name as how they heard about us upon their initial visit. The new resident must sign a minimum 12-month lease term and both residents must be in good standing during the initial residency period. Referral credits are applied after the new resident moves in. Tripalink offers $100-$300 referral credits depending on the apartment building.
