By Alexander Concepcion, Taco Street Locating. Rechecked Oct 12, 2026 against each property’s own website (linked in the table). Two offers listed on Oct 2 (West Oaks Landing and The Alara) were no longer shown and have been removed.
No Houston building I checked on Oct 12, 2026 lists a no-application-fee policy for everyone. The waivers I found are conditional: Broadstone EaDo and Pearl at the Mix waive fees for qualifying groups, Camden Downtown credits application and admin fees at move-in, and Quail Chase lists waived fees with a $99 reduced deposit under income limits.
Which Houston apartments waive or reduce the application and admin fee? (checked Oct 12, 2026)
| Community | Offer, as the property words it | Who or what it depends on | Fees when no offer applies | Address |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Camden Downtown (site) | “Lease now to receive $415 or more OFF! Application and administrative fee credited at move-in. Contact us for details.” | Lease now; details from the office. Listing says “Starting at $1,479” for studios to 2 bedrooms (Oct 12, 2026) | Not stated on the page I read | 1515 Austin St, Houston, TX 77010 |
| Broadstone EaDo (FAQ) | Preferred Employer Program “waiving application and administration fees for those who qualify” | Qualifying employer; the site points to a Preferred Employer page | FAQ says an application fee is due per applicant; amount not stated on the page I read | 2425 Bell St, Houston, TX 77003 |
| Pearl at the Mix (FAQ) | “Waived application fees at move in and half administration fee” | A qualifying-occupation program; ask the leasing office for eligibility | Move-in costs list a $250 administrative fee, a security deposit starting at $300 and a $20 package room setup fee | 2910 Milam St, Houston, TX 77006 |
| Quail Chase (site) | “Limited-time $99 reduced deposit, plus waived application and admin fees”; the banner adds some restrictions may apply | The property participates in an affordable housing program with income limits; the site lists a minimum household income of 2.5 times the monthly rent | Not stated on the page I read | 500 W Airtex Blvd, Houston, TX 77090 |
For contrast, on Oct 2, 2026 these buildings listed their standard fees with no waiver on the pages I read: Citadel lists a $65 application fee per person and a $150 administration fee; 1810 Main lists an $85 application fee and a $250 admin fee; The Star lists a $75 application fee and a $250 admin fee; and Metro Midtown lists a $75 per-applicant application fee and a $165 admin fee. A waiver on the website is not a guarantee: each one above has conditions, and some list that restrictions apply. Ask the office to put the waiver and its end date in writing before you apply.

How do I confirm a fee waiver before I pay?
Before you pay an application fee online, ask three things in writing: which fees are waived or credited, whether the offer depends on your employer, move-in date or lease length, and whether a credit shows up at move-in or as a refund. A credit at move-in still means you pay the fee up front. A waiver means you do not. Also ask whether the fee is charged per applicant, since each adult on the lease is usually screened.
Frequently asked questions
Which Houston apartments have no application fee?
None of the buildings I checked on Oct 12, 2026 list a no-fee policy for everyone. Broadstone EaDo and Pearl at the Mix waive application fees for qualifying groups, and Quail Chase lists waived application and admin fees under its program.
Is a credited fee the same as a waived fee?
No. Camden Downtown says the application and administrative fee will be credited at move-in, which means you may pay the fee when you apply and see a credit later. Ask the office exactly when the credit posts.
Do employer-based waivers cover everyone?
No. Broadstone EaDo’s program waives fees “for those who qualify,” and Pearl at the Mix offers a qualifying-occupation program; ask the leasing office for eligibility.
What does a reduced fee mean compared with a waived fee?
A reduced fee is a lower application or admin fee that you still pay. A waived fee is not charged at all. Ask the office which one applies and get it in writing.
How current are these offers?
They are what each site showed on Oct 12, 2026. Specials can end without notice, so confirm with the office before you apply.
Does Taco Street Locating charge for helping me find a waived-fee building?
No. The service is free for renters. Apartment communities pay us, so it does not change your lease or your specials. I’m Alexander Concepcion, and I’ll be your point of contact.
