9. Is a security deposit required?

It depends on the property. Some apartments will take a credit card imprint or a deposit for $150-$1,500, depending on the property, to protect themselves against unforeseen damage to the property, and to cover telephone charges. This is no different than the credit card imprint taken by hotels at check-in. These funds are either never charged through (if no damage is done and no incidentals are purchased) or refunded less the cost of damage/incidentals at the end of the guests’ stay. Please refer to the policies section of each property.
