What does a tour of Rambler Atlanta look like?
Before You Go
Before your scheduled tour, reflect on the priorities you have for your apartment. Consider factors such as the number of desired roommates, preferred views and any specific requirements you may have. Having a clear idea of your preferences will streamline and personalize your tour experience.
Here’s a checklist to think through before your tour:

- Desired amenities
- Window preferences
- Bathroom specifications
- Pet accommodations
- Parking options
Prepare a set of questions for the leasing staff, as committing to a year-long lease is a significant decision. To assist you, we’ve compiled a list of 15 questions to ask on a tour.
Scheduling Your Tour
Once you’ve made your list of preferences and questions, book a tour at our leasing office during operating hours: Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
If you have potential roommates in mind, coordinate to find a convenient time for everyone to attend, allowing you to collectively ask questions and gather information. The duration of the tour is typically thirty minutes.

Exploring the Leasing Hub
When crafting the Rambler Atlanta leasing office, we incorporated colors, patterns, furniture and decor that mirror the aesthetics of the completed Rambler Atlanta interiors.
Within the leasing office, you’ll also find a model kitchen showcasing the countertops, cabinets and appliances slated for your future unit.
Taking a Look at Virtual Renderings
After checking out the leasing office, an LMI or Leasing Manager will guide you through a virtual tour of Rambler, featuring lifelike renderings of exteriors, study floors, amenities and Daydreamer. Feel free to ask any questions you think of during this time, our staff is here to assist you!
Explore our Floor Plan Options
Next you’ll explore floor plan renderings. Share any preferences you have for floor plans and our staff will assist you in identifying the unit that aligns perfectly with your needs.
Refer back to the list of apartment priorities and references you compiled earlier to ensure the chosen floor plan caters to all your requirements.
Begin Your Application
Once you’ve settled on the ideal floor plan for you and your roommates, you’ll kick off the application process.
Ensure you have your driver’s license or government ID on hand. The application typically takes about 10 minutes to fill out.
For international students, we recommend completing your application in the leasing office to address any questions or concerns that may arise during the process.

Guarantor Details
The application will also ask about your guarantor’s information.
If you’re unfamiliar with the term, a guarantor is essentially someone who qualifies to co-sign a lease – like a parent or guardian. Given that most students may not qualify to sign a lease independently, the guarantor assumes the responsibility of the rental rate on your behalf.
Once you’ve finished your part of the application, your guarantor will receive an email to complete another brief section.
Signing Your Lease
Upon completing your application, you’ll be guided to sign your lease. Take the time to read through your lease thoroughly and ask any questions as they arise – signing a lease is a significant commitment and it’s crucial to understand the terms fully. After signing your lease and any supplementary documents, you officially become a future Rambler Atlanta resident! Congratulations!
