Pet Policy
Beyond the Bend Apartments is a pet-friendly community. In accordance with local ordinances and community guidelines, no more than two pets are permitted per apartment home. All approved pets require a $250 pet deposit, a $250 non-refundable pet fee, and $15 monthly pet rent per pet. For questions regarding pet approval or policy details, please contact the leasing office at 254-483-5005 or email leasing@beyondthebendapartments.com.
Application Process
The application process generally takes 2-4 business days and is contingent on how quickly we receive needed information.
If approved, you will be notified via email/text. You will receive an approval letter that outlines lease terms and move-in charges. Upon receipt of the lease, all occupants will have 48 hours to sign. Due to the high demand for rentals, we are unable to hold the unit off the rental market for more than two (2) business days without a signed lease.
Please be aware that we can only hold a vacant unit up to 14 days after a lease has been signed by all parties. To avoid potential conflict caused by time constraints, please ensure that your desired move-in date matches the availability date.
We look forward to helping you find your next home!
