Applications
Every adult 18 or older who will live in the apartment needs to file their own application. Each adult pays a $50 non-refundable application fee.

Verified service and assistance animals are welcome, as the law requires.
What utilities come with the rent?
Trash pickup is included in your rent.
Everything else, including electric, water and sewer, and internet and cable, is the resident's responsibility.
Can I get downtown without a car from Cleve Royale?
Yes, and that is one of the best parts of living here. The CMAX bus rapid transit line runs right along Cleveland Avenue with frequent, direct service into Downtown Columbus, which is great if you would rather skip the daily drive.
If you are flying, John Glenn Columbus International Airport is about 16 minutes away by car in normal traffic.
