Renters Insurance & Liability Waiver:

- Residents must maintain renters insurance and upload proof in the Resident Portal.
If proof isn’t received, we’ll enroll the household in the RLL Liability Waiver at $15/month to meet minimum liability requirements. The waiver is not renters insurance and typically does not cover personal property or loss-of-use.

Deposit Options:

- We offer Obligo (a deposit alternative). Residents may choose a traditional refundable security deposit instead, consistent with WA law.

(required for all households):

- Equistead uses for pet/animal/no-pet documentation. All households must complete a PetScreening profile (pets, assistance animals, or “no pet”). Fees (paid to PetScreening, not Equistead): $30 when paid by credit/debit card or $25 when paid by ACH for each pet profile; $0 for assistance animals and no-pet profiles. Fees and terms are set by PetScreening and may change—see their site for details.
Approved pets may be subject to pet rent and/or pet deposit/fee per listing; all amounts are disclosed in writing before lease signing. Assistance animals are processed per applicable law and are not charged pet fees.

- Background and residential history check required.

- Income: at least 2.5× rent, or approved assistance, or qualified co-signer/other verifiable means.

- Credit: 600+ FICO or approved alternative qualification/co-signer.
