LEASING FAQs & FEES

APPLICATION PROCESS & ONE-TIME FEES

SIMPLE. TRANSPARENT. NO SURPRISES.

The Note believes in straightforward communication with every prospective resident. Below is an honest outline of the leasing process, required fees, and what you can expect from application to move-in.

How It Works

• Complete the online application — a $75 one-time application fee starts the screening process

• Your selected unit is reserved for the earlier of 3 days or until a screening decision is made

• Upon approval of your application, a $500 refundable security deposit is due (you will receive an email from Rentable). For conditional approvals, a security deposit greater than $500 may be required based on screening results.

• Security deposit is managed through Rentable — flexible payment options available

• Once your security deposit has been paid, the leasing team will send out your lease for execution. The $250 administrative fee is due along with your initial pro-rated monthly rent prior to move in.

SECURITY DEPOSIT - RENTABLE

The Note has partnered with the Rentable to offer a convenient way to pay the required $500 security deposit. For conditional approvals, a security deposit greater than $500 may be required based on screening results.  After approval of your application, you will receive an email from Rentable to set up your account and payment methods.   Rentable offers alternative payment options from a one-time payment to flexible payments over the lease term.   At the end of your occupancy, Rentable will provide the approved refund of your deposit directly into the payment method of your choice.

HOSPITALITY SERVICES FEE

WHAT'S INCLUDED — $125 PER MONTH.

The Note charges one required monthly fee beyond base rent: the Hospitality Services Fee of $125/month. This is not a junk fee — it covers a bundle of services that would cost significantly more if purchased separately:

• Fiber Internet — 1GB upload and download to every home (National WiFi)

• Smart Home Technology — keyless entry and Wi-Fi thermostat in every unit (SmartRent)

• Unlimited Coffee Service — premium Southern Grounds beans, served in the clubhouse

• Valet Trash — 7 days per week, door-to-door

• Pest Control — included

• Bike Share Program — free resident use after sign-up

• Luxer Package Room — 24/7 secure package access with refrigeration option
