FAQ | Seminole Flatts

Yes. Seminole Flatts welcomes cats and dogs with prior approval and has no pet weight limit.

The pet policy allows up to two pets per apartment, or one pet when a resident leases a single bedroom in a shared apartment. Breed restrictions apply, and pets must be registered with the office and included on the lease.

A one-time pet fee and monthly pet rent apply. Contact the leasing office for the amounts before adding a pet to your lease.

• Rent is due on the first of every month and can be paid in the office with a check or money order. If you prefer to pay with a credit or debit card, you can set up one-time or recurring payments through Resident Portal. If you prefer to pay with a check or money order please use the Rent Drop Box located near the front door. We do not accept cash.

• We screen all of our applicants and require a guarantor or additional security deposit on all leases. The security deposit varies by floor plan. You can ask a leasing specialist by calling our office today!

• That's no problem at all! We can pair you up with people who have similar lifestyles, interests, etc. Just fill out the form during the application process and leave the rest to us!

High-speed internet, trash collection, and pest control are included. Other utilities are billed directly to residents each month based on usage, and a $5.95 monthly utility-billing fee applies.

Review your lease for the utility charges and billing arrangements that apply to your apartment.

​When you sign an individual lease, you are only responsible for your rent; in other words, you have no liability for the rent of the other apartment residents. If your roommate transfers or graduates, you have no responsibility for their financial obligations. This is a significant advantage over the joint and several leases (where each resident is liable for the rent of all residents in the unit) which are often used at rental houses and other apartment properties in the area.

Furnished apartments are available for an additional monthly charge. The A1 furniture package includes a queen-size bed, while furnished B1 bedrooms have full-size beds. Bedroom furniture also includes a dresser, nightstand, desk, and desk chair.

Shared living areas include seating, coffee and end tables, and dining or breakfast-bar seating. The exact pieces vary by floor plan, so review the package for your selected apartment before move-in.
