How it’s free
How can it be free?
The apartment community pays us after you move in. Your rent stays the same, and on qualifying leases part of your move is on us.

What’s the catch?
- AptViva
There isn’t one for you. The community pays us for bringing a new resident, much like it pays for advertising.
Will you steer me to places that pay more?
- AptViva
No. Fees vary from one community to another, but your list is built on what fits you. If you rule a place out, it stays out.
Do I lose the specials?
- AptViva
No. Using a locator does not change the rent or the specials a community offers you.
What if I already visited a place?
- AptViva
Tell us. If you toured or applied somewhere before you started with us, that community may not count us as your locator, and the included move would not apply there.

Tell us what you need. The search costs you nothing, and we take it from there.
