FAQ…
I am looking for an apartment for next school year. What units will you have available?
2024-2025 availability has now been posted. 2025-2026 availability will be posted by the end of January 2025.
How do I view apartments?
First you will need to complete the “Contact to View” form found on this website; complete it and send it to us. Once we receive your Contact to View request, our manager will contact you by email to schedule the viewings. We show apartments by appointment on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays between 12:30 pm to 5:00 pm. You can also view apartments virtually with FaceTime, etc.
Is there an application fee?
No.
What if I have already been in the apartment? Do I still have to schedule a viewing?
Even if you have been in the apartment, you will need to view the apartment with our staff. The viewing is your interview and orientation to renting from Slocum Apartments, so bring any future co-tenants. Co-tenants must also submit a “Contact to View” form to participate in a viewing.
What if I can’t come to Pullman to view apartments?
We do not rent apartments sight-unseen. However, we have shown apartments through FaceTime, Skype, etc. or to a trusted friend.
How long are the leases?
Most of our leases are for 12 months. If the lease is signed in the Spring, it starts June 1st and ends May 27th of the following year. If a lease starts later, it will still usually end on May 27th the following year.
Can I lease a unit starting in August?
Leases signed in the Spring, start June 1st. If a unit is still available in May, June or July, a later start is possible. Check availability on our website then. When we do summer renovations, sometimes apartments have a later start date.
Do you have any houses to rent?
No, we only have apartments for rent. Our largest apartments are 3 bedrooms.
Can I have a pet?
With the 2025-26 lease period, we will approve pets on a case-by-case basis. If you have an emotional support animal (ESA) or a service animal, you must document your disability before we will proceed with the viewing.
What is included in the rental amount?
The Rental Amount: The listed rent is for up to one person per bedroom. Each additional tenant will increase the monthly rent by $300 per month.
Utilities: Water, sewer, and garbage service are included in the rent at all units. Free hot water is included in the rent at some apartments.
What is payable at lease signing?
Before a lease is signed, you will need to pay the security deposit ($700 per tenant) and the next year’s May rent. If the current rent is due at lease signing, that would also be payable.
Do my parents have to co-sign the lease?
If you are at least age 18, your parents are not asked to co-sign.
What if I need to move out of the apartment before the end of the lease?
You would continue to pay rent until the end of the lease or find someone to sublet/sublease your apartment (or your place in the apartment if you have co-tenants). There would be a $300 sublet fee per tenant leaving. Slocum Apartments, the tenant leaving, and any co-tenants remaining must approve the applicant for a sublease.
