Grant’s direct answer
Usually, yes—if the renter has clearly found the right apartment and the written terms are understood. Grant’s preferred sequence is tour, compare the finalists, choose the winner, and apply that day. Apartment pricing, concessions, and exact-unit availability can change quickly, and another renter can take the unit. Before applying, confirm the apartment number, base rent, lease term, concession, mandatory fees, parking, move-in date, application costs, and deposit requirements. HomeBase does not recommend applying while an important question is unresolved; the goal is to resolve those questions quickly and then act without unnecessary delay.
Explore related apartment guides and city and neighborhood information. Rental prices, availability, office locations and incentives can change; confirm time-sensitive details before making a decision.
