APPLICATION & LEASING
 
How do I apply for an apartment?
You can easily apply online through our website or visit the leasing office where one of our Leasing Professionals can assist you during office hours.  At the bottom of our website under More Info, you can read our Resident Qualification Acknowledgement, which includes all the details regarding our rental criteria.  Applications typically require a fee, proof of income, and a valid photo ID.
 
What are the income requirements?
Applicants are generally required to earn at least three times the monthly base rent.  At the bottom of our website under More Info, you can read our Resident Qualification Acknowledgement, which includes all the details regarding our rental criteria. 
 
Do you run background and credit checks?
Yes. All applicants complete standard identification, income, credit, criminal, and rental history screenings.  Please contact the leasing office & speak with one of our Team Members who can explain the process so you can have a good experience.  Our Resident Qualification Acknowledgement, at the bottom of our website under More Info, includes all the details regarding our rental criteria. 
 
How long does the approval process take?
The key to a seamless application process is to have all your documents ready to upload.  Once all documentation has been received, it typically takes 2 – 3 business days, depending on verification requirements.  If you are missing needed documents or there are other verifications needed, the process can take longer.
 
What type of lease will I sign?
The Emory uses the Texas Apartment Association (TAA) Lease because it provides residents with a standardized, professionally developed lease designed specifically for Texas rental housing. It clearly outlines the rights and responsibilities of both the resident and the community, helping provide consistency, transparency, and clarity throughout the lease term.
 
Is renter’s insurance required?
Yes, we require all residents who will be signing the lease to carry $100,000 in renter’s liability insurance. Before your lease begins, you’ll need to show us proof of coverage, and you’ll need to keep the policy active during your entire stay with us. If you don’t already have a provider, Homebody is a quick and easy option that meets all our requirements and they approve all our residents so you don’t need to worry about finding a provider.  You can sign up in about five minutes at www.homebody.com or by calling 1.877.577.9850.  We also strongly recommend getting coverage for your personal belongings, as liability-only policies don’t cover those.  Let us know if you have any questions - we’re happy to help!
 
Is there an online portal for residents?
Yes, our online resident portal is where you can pay rent, submit & track maintenance requests, sign or renew your lease, view your lease & ledger details, reserve community spaces, manage renter’s insurance, rent a storage unit or bike space, and communicate with the team.
 
How do I pay rent?
You can easily pay rent through the online resident portal using a variety of payment methods. 
 
How do I renew my lease?
Lease renewal options are typically sent to you before the end of your lease and can be signed online through the resident portal.

Yes.  The Emory is a dog- and cat-friendly community featuring a dog park, pet wash station, and nearby parks & trails.  We’d love to help welcome your furry family members home to The Emory.  See the office for more details or read the Animal section of our Resident Qualification Acknowledgement at the bottom of our website under More Info.
 
MAINTENANCE
 
How do I request maintenance?
Submit routine maintenance requests through the Resident Portal so those can be handled during normal business hours, Monday–Friday (excluding holidays).  Call (469) 814-0070 to report a maintenance emergency.  

How quickly are maintenance requests handled?
Routine requests are typically addressed within 48 hours unless there is a part that needs to be ordered, a third-party contractor that must be involved, there is a warranty issue that requires the manufacturer to respond, or there is an urgent situation requiring our maintenance team’s attention.

What if I have a maintenance emergency after office hours?
Our maintenance team is available 24/7 for emergencies.  After office hours, call (469) 814-0070 and provide details to the answering service. If the issue qualifies as an emergency, the on-call Maintenance Technician will be contacted.
 
PARKING
 
Is there parking available?
Yes, The Emory offers residents several on-site parking options, including an on-site structured parking garage with first-come, first-served spaces, reserved parking spaces (for an additional charge), or EV Charging stations (payment at the station).  Contact our office to discuss available parking options to fit your unique situation.
 
Is there guest parking available?
Yes, there are visitor & guest parking spaces on the first floor of the garage and along the street.  They need to register with R2Park at https://www.register2park.com/ which gives them a virtual parking pass so their vehicle won’t get towed.  See the office for details.
 
Do you have Electric Vehicle Charging Stations?
Yes, we currently have 10 EV Charging stations, 2 on each floor of the garage.  They are used on a first come-first serve basis and paid at the station.
 
AMENITIES
 
What amenities does the community offer?
Residents at The Emory can enjoy a resort-style pool, fitness center with free weights, community-wide WiFi, 24/7 smart Package room, co-working spaces, EV charging stations, pet spa & dog park, resident sports & game lounge, billiards table & shuffleboard, dining area, outdoor courtyard with BBQ grills, hammocks, fountain, fire pit, and horseshoe, storage units, bike storage, and an on-site parking garage.
 
Are there places to Work From Home or shared workspaces?
Yes, there is a conference room, privacy pods, a co-work space with tables, couches, and chairs.  There is a Collaboration Corner & a Creativity Corner that are great nooks where you can work alone or with others.  If you prefer to work outdoors, there are cabanas at the pool and seating in the courtyard. Even the dining table and lounges can be used as work spaces since there is community-wide WiFi.
 
Where are resident packages delivered?
We use a system called the Smart Package Room which can handle 2 – 3 times more packages than a locker system and is available 24/7.  When you are notified that a package has been delivered, you scan the QR code or enter your PIN to open the package room door.  Once inside, the laser guidance system directs you to your exact package where you pick it up, confirm you received it, and go.  This room accommodates bulk & oversized packages, envelopes, refrigerated deliveries, and all types of boxes.   
 
What environmentally friendly features do you have?
EV Charging stations, Energy efficient air conditioning and heating controlled by the Honeywell Smart Thermostat, LED lighting, Ceiling fans in all bedrooms, and the Teal Boiler system which is more energy-efficient than traditional individual hot-water heaters because it heats water centrally and on demand, rather than continuously maintaining hot water in multiple storage tanks. This reduces standby energy loss, improves efficiency, and can provide a more consistent supply of hot water.
 
Can guests use the amenities?
We welcome your guests to enjoy our spectacular spaces.  To maintain a peaceful & premium experience  for all residents, guests must be accompanied by a resident and there is a limit of two guests per apartment. 
 
Can I reserve any amenity space for a private party or event?
Yes, the Resident Lounge on the first floor can be reserved for a private party or event.  See the office for pricing and reservation details.

Are there resident events or community activities?
We love bringing neighbors together through regular social events and seasonal celebrations.  Getting to know your neighbors is a great way to build a sense of community which is why we encourage neighbors to experience our community, not just for the things you can do, but also for the people you can meet.  We offer engaging resident experiences that are thoughtfully designed to bring neighbors together so everyone can feel welcome and at home.

How do you handle noise complaints?
Apartment living is a great way to make new friends and sometimes those friends can get loud.  We encourage residents to exchange phone numbers so you can call & ask them to quiet down if needed.  If noise continues, call the office (469) 814-0070 and report the disturbance to the answering service. We’ll be happy to remind your neighbors to be considerate of those around them.  We also provide tips to help control the amount of noise you hear from others, including:  add rugs, fabrics, sound-absorbing materials to your home, wear socks or slippers when walking on hard floors, use headphones, and arrange your furniture to be away from your neighbor’s TV.  If noise persists, we can issue a warning or a lease violation so residents can enjoy their homes.  We’ll be happy to assist you in any way that we can.
 
Do you provide pest control?
Yes, we hire a licensed pest control provider to service our community and apartment homes.  You can submit a request through the online resident portal for service.  They typically visit one day each week and it may require more than one treatment to eliminate any pests. 
 
Is Internet provided?
Yes, there is a monthly technology package fee that includes one router, one media panel, one smart thermostat, and one entry door smart lock.  There is also community-wide WiFi.  This means you do not have to call and establish service, just plug in & play!
 
What utilities are residents responsible for?
Residents are responsible for establishing electricity service.  Water is billed through the resident portal and added to the monthly rent.  Trash removal & door-to-door trash pick-up are an additional charge but the service is already established so there is nothing you need to do to start service.
