Frequently asked questions
How much is the move-in deposit?
Security deposits are at least one month’s rent. A higher deposit of up to two month’s rent may be charged based on the third-party independent review of the applicant’s employment status, rental history and financial position. All security deposits are refundable less any charges at final accounting that have been agreed upon, and/or for damages at move-out.
What utilities am I responsible for paying?
The Nob Hill Apartments pays for water, sewer and garbage/recycling but charges a minimal monthly Residential Utility Billing (RUB) fee. The tenant(s) pays for their electricity through PGE; each unit has their own meter. Each unit is wired for cable and internet but service is optional and the sole responsibility of the tenant.
What is the pet policy?
The Nob Hill Apartments does not accept pets. Please direct any questions regarding our pet policy to Management.

How do I pre-lease a unit?
To reserve/pre-lease a unit the prospective tenant(s) will be required to complete an agreement to execute a rental agreement and make a minimum ones months’ rent deposit to secure the unit.
