No. The property makes the final call, and we never promise approval. We look for places whose rules fit your income, credit and rental history. Most places ask for income of about three times the rent. Our [low credit guide](/bad-credit-accepted/) covers the rest. ### Is a move-in special worth taking? A special is worth the free days at the daily rate, and many have to be paid back if you move out early. The math is in our [move-in specials guide](/move-in-specials/). ### How do I find out which school district an apartment is in? School districts follow the street address, not the city or ZIP code, so check that exact address on the district's own map. ### Can I pick my own electric company? Across most of the area, yes, on Power to Choose. Garland and Denton run their own city power companies, and some suburban addresses get power from a co-op you can't shop around. Ask who serves the address first. ### How much do tolls add? Toll roads add a monthly cost that rent doesn't show. Run the trip through [NTTA's toll calculator](https://www.ntta.org/toll-calculator) first, then weigh a Tollway address against one near the train. ## Two numbers decide your lease. Get both. Still choosing an area? Tell us your rent ceiling and where you work, and we'll suggest two or three areas and the places in them whose rules fit your situation.
