When applying for a unit after speaking with a leasing consultant, we can send you an invitation to register for your RentCafe account and apply for your desired unit. If applying for a unit or registering on your own, simply follow the prompts and instructions. If you need a registration code or any other information that you are unsure of, your Leasing Office will be happy to help!
Please remember that ALL adult tenants and guarantors will need their own separate RentCafe account. It is very important that you utilize your own email address when creating accounts and applying, keeping in mind that other tenants will also need to create accounts and apply with their own email address.
If you do not meet the income requirement of 3x the monthly rent or fail to meet credit/background check standards, a guarantor/co-signer is required. The guarantor must earn 5x the monthly rent and pass a credit/background check. A $50 application fee applies. All guarantor/co-signer information must be from within the U.S.

Guests are welcome in the building and residents are responsible for providing guests access to the building for security purposes. Vendors and other service providers are permitted. However, we request you inform the leasing office to properly provide building and unit access.
Residents may hang items on walls but must patch any holes before moving out, and painting walls is not permitted.
All packages are delivered directly to the on-site package room and will be kept there until retrieved. If you have a package that you would like us to place safely in your unit, please reach out to the leasing office.
Valet Living will pick up your trash from 5 pm to 7 pm Sunday through Thursday. A few reminders to keep in mind for this service:
- Bag and securely tie all waste
- Do not include sharp objects like broken glass or needles
- Double bag pet waste and place in trash to help prevent leaks and stains
- Flatten all cardboard boxes and place them outside your apartment.
- If you have more than one bag, open your lid and place the second securely-tied bag inside the container on top of the first bag.
- Bring your container back inside your home by 9 am the next morning.
Quiet hours are Sunday–Thursday at 10 PM and Friday–Saturday at 11 PM.
To buy out of your lease, a fee equal to one month's rent and 90 days' notice is required. After payment, your apartment will be advertised and shown, but you remain responsible for rent until it’s re-rented or 90 days have passed from your official lease break date. Security deposits do not transfer between Walnut Capital communities, and subletting is not permitted.
With Rapid Refund, residents can instantly receive your $500 security deposit (or a deposit amount based on your lease terms and credit) via debit card for a $3.95 fee, or opt for a free mailed check. The primary resident will receive a text with a link to choose their option, update their forwarding address, or let a check be mailed automatically after 12 hours to the address on file.
Per Pennsylvania law, security deposits are returned within 30 days of vacating, provided the unit is surrendered in its original condition (minus normal wear and tear). You will receive a detailed checklist of all items that need to be checked, completed and cleaned. As per your lease, the unit must be returned to our possession as you received it upon moving in. Carpet cleaning will always be deducted if applicable as outlined in your lease. Please note that keys must be returned by 11AM on the lease end date. In addition, final water/sewer fees will be posted after move-out.
Checks cannot be mailed outside the U.S., so if leaving the country, make arrangements with someone in the U.S. to receive your check.

Emergency & Special Requests
If you are locked out during office hours, call the leasing office to get into your unit. If you are locked out after hours, call the emergency number 412-683-3810. A team member will meet you on-site to let you into the building/unit. Additional fees are associated with after-hours lock-outs.
Vendors and other service providers are permitted, however, we request you inform the leasing office to properly provide building and unit access. Please let the leasing office know when to expect the vendor and we are happy to give them access to your apartment.
