FAQ
How current is the pricing?

Is there a deposit or a move-in fee?
There's $0 security deposit when you inquire through Dibze. The only standard up-front costs are a one-time admin fee and a $75-per-applicant screening fee paid to the third-party credit/background provider.
Do I pay a broker fee?
No fee to you — not to tour, not to apply, not at move-in. We help you compare apartments here and at nearby buildings and schedule everything in one trip.
What income or credit do I need?
