Removing yourself, step by step

  1. 01

    Go to https://www.apartments.com/grow/about/do-not-sell-my-personal-information-california-residents and submit the do-not-sell/share request if you're a CA resident.

  2. 02

    For non-CA residents or fuller data-deletion requests, email support@apartments.com describing what data to remove and any associated listing/application reference.

  3. 03

    Expect this to require back-and-forth (custom handling) rather than an instant automated confirmation.

Data brokers re-list. Check again in 30–60 days.

Re-listing risk for this site: Moderate — active rental-marketplace data (inquiries/applications) regenerates whenever the person interacts with the platform again.
