Yes — and we're glad you asked! At Mill Creek Residential, we believe pets are part of the family. That's why all residents are asked to complete a quick pet profile through PetScreening.com.
Even if you don't have a household pet, this step is required and helps us create a welcoming community for every resident.
🐾 Have a pet? There’s a $30 annual fee per household pet profile.
🐾 No pet or have an assistance animal? No fee required—just complete the profile so we have your info on file. Your lease process may be delayed if this step isn’t complete, so we recommend checking it off your list early!
Our community partners with Whale to manage security deposits in a secure and transparent way. Prior to move-in, residents are asked to create a Whale account and transfer their required security deposit into an FDIC-insured account in their own name. Funds held in the Whale account may earn interest while still meeting all lease requirements.
Whale allows residents to keep their security deposit in their own account, providing added transparency, security, and flexibility compared to traditional deposit handling.
If you have questions about setting up your Whale account, transferring your security deposit, or understanding how Whale works, please visit their website at help.gowhale.com
