Apartment hunting can be both fun and challenging! Finding an apartment that’s affordable, in a good location and up to your living standards are just the first things you need to worry about when choosing the perfect apartment. Whether you’re a first-time apartment renter, or you’ve been in the game for a while, you’ll want to ask some important questions before you sign a lease and collect your keys. We’ve put together the top twelve questions renters should ask property managers BEFORE signing a lease.
How does parking work?
Each apartment home received an assigned one-car garage space and one assigned open parking space.
What is the pet policy?
We do accept dogs and cats. Maximum number of pets are 2 per household. While we do not have weight restrictions, there are breed restrictions.
How do utilities work?
All utilities are the responsibility of the resident. Electricity is billed through Southern California Edison. Water, Trash and Sewer expenses will be bill to the resident by the community. This is based on overall building usage, square footage and occupants of each apartment home.
What about renter's insurance?
All residents are required to maintain insurance coverage equal to $100,000 throughout your tenancy. We offer a damage liability waiver option for $13/month or you can provide your own coverage.
What proof of income do I need to provide to qualify?
A combined monthly gross income of at least 2.5 times the monthly rent amount is required. Acceptable proof of income can be 3 most recent pay stubs or 3 months bank statements.
What if I have or need a co-signer?
Co-signers/guarantors may only be used to satisfy income requirements and may not be used to improve or supplement an applicant’s credit score. Co-signers/guarantors must provide proof of income equal to at least five times the monthly rent and must have positive credit.
Does Placita Luxe have maintenance?

Do the buildings have elevators?
No, the apartment buildings do not have elevators. Access to the apartment homes will be by stairs only.
