Our Leasing Calendar

We are grateful that Winkler properties are in high demand. Our pre-leasing application opens September 1st. Our units lease very quickly so please get your application in early! We begin contacting new applicants in January for the applications received during the pre-leasing period that have been placed on a waiting list. Please be patient during this time. We are working very hard to contact applicants about availability!


Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Pre-Leasing?

Pre-leasing is a waiting list that allows you and your group to be placed on the list for up to 4 of our properties.

Application Process Steps & Notes

  1. Submit 1 Online Application per Applicant — each applicant does not have to complete and submit their online application on the same date.
  2. Pay a $80 non-refundable Application Fee (per applicant), which is required when submitting the application.
  3. Please be aware that all Application Fees are non-refundable.

How Do I Fill Out A Pre-leasing Application?

Simple! Click the red ‘Apply Now’ button on your screen at any time!

The Leasing Application allows you to list yourself, along with the group of people you plan to live with. (If you do not have roommates and would like Winkler Organization to help match you in a group, select “No Preferred Roommates” on the application.)

The first person in your group to apply must create a unique “Group Name” in order for us to match your group together. Each roommate must reference this name when applying. You will also list preferred roommates by name. If you do not know all of your roommates at the time your application is submitted, its ok. We can edit the application when you do find your roommates. We will go by the date of the first application.

As a group, decide which properties you are interested in leasing, and list the property names in order of preference. We will try our best to offer your first choice, based on availability. We will also let you know what is available if your property choices are not available. Leasing Applications will be filed on the waiting list by date and time it was received, and will be processed in that order. Incomplete Applications and unpaid Application Fees will not be processed.

Please be aware that we cannot place incomplete groups. All roommates must submit applications before we can offer your group a unit. It is in your best interest to ensure that you find an adequate number of roommates and that each roommate completes the leasing process within the allotted timeframe.

If you do not have an adequate number of preferred roommates to fill the number of bedrooms in your unit, The Winkler Organization may, at our discretion, place an applicant in your group in order to fill the unit. Pre- Leasing Groups with one or more current Winkler Organization tenants will be given priority over new applicants, and will be processed in order based on date and time received.

How Do I Find Out If My Choices Are Available?

Current tenants will receive renewal notices early during the leasing year. Current tenants will be given a set time period to decide whether to renew or transfer to another property within Winkler Organization.

After that time, Pre-Leasing Groups will be placed in their preferred properties, based on availability. We will start with the first application received and work from there.

We will contact your group via phone call. If you cannot be reached, we will leave a voice message to notify you that we are at your application date. It is very important to check messages during this time. If we speak to one of the group members, it is their responsibility to update the group. We will not call all members in the group when we reach one member. We are very busy during this time, so please be patient.

The Winkler Organization properties are highly desired; therefore, time is of the essence. Please be aware that once we have offered you and your group (if applicable) a unit, the leasing process moves very quickly. You will be contacted via email of the property choice that has been offered to you and your group.

Upon reception of this notification, you will have 24 hours to accept (or decline) and electronically pay a non-refundable $295 Administrative Fee per roommate, in order to reserve the unit/bedroom we have offered you. This fee can be easily and securely paid via electronic bank draft from your checking account. If paid with a credit card or debit card, a processing fee will be charged.

Once you have paid the Administrative Fee, you and your parent or legal guardian will be emailed a Lease and Lease Guarantee form that must be electronically signed and returned within 24 hours of receipt. You will also electronically pay your Security Deposit.

That’s it! Quick, secure, and all online.
