How can I make sure no one else applies for the unit I’m applying for?
If you really like the unit, chances are someone else will too! To secure the unit, applicants are encouraged to pay the 1st month’s rent with the application. Only the 1st month’s rent will hold an apartment (the Security Deposit holds the apartment if you are a Sec. 8 applicant). If you are denied by the owner or the unit is no longer available following your application, you will be issued a full refund upon request.
