Your apartment comes fully-furnished including all utilities, washer and dryer and a flat screen TV in your living room. Oso Verde pays your utilities such as; electricity, water, sewer, internet service and cable TV. There is a cap on electricity of $30 per person, so if your electric bill in a 5 bedroom is higher than $150 then the excess will be split equally and billed back to residents.

First, you'll need to complete the rental application and have your guarantor complete the guarantor form. Drop off or email your forms to office@osoverdewaco.com. After you have chosen a floor plan and bed space, we will create a lease for you to read, initial and sign in all required spots. We require the security deposit (equal to one month's rent) at the time of signing.
