ATLAS DOT ONE does not charge key money.

This can reduce upfront costs compared with a rental that charges key money.

Check your costs in this order

  1. Your initial payment

    Check rent, management fees, the deposit and the initial guarantee fee.

  2. Your ongoing monthly payment

    The monthly guarantee fee is added to rent and management fees.

  3. Services you choose

    Key exchange is optional. If selected, its cost is added to the initial payment.

Rent guarantee service is required when moving in through ATLAS DOT ONE.

Guarantee fees are calculated from total rent, including the management fee.
