Is there a security deposit?
Yes, a security deposit equal to one month’s rent is due when you sign the Lease Agreement. At the termination of your lease, the Landlord will inspect your apartment (bedroom and common area within the apartment) for damages in excess of normal wear and tear. If there are damages you will receive a written notice indicating the charges (if any). Any cost of damage will be deducted from your security deposit and the balance will be returned to you.

How do you match roommates?
We have designed a questionnaire form that all Spinner Place applicants will be asked to fill out which will assist us in matching roommates. Some of our questions relate to cleanliness, sleeping habits, music taste, noise level, etc. We welcome any suggestions for questions to be included.
