How Do I Pay Rent?
The preferred method is through your tenant portal. Once you sign the lease we will generate a login for you. From here you can pay rent from your checking account and even set it to auto-pay at no cost. Some of our properties have check drop-boxes. Please contact your property manager for details.
How does prorated rent work if I don't move in on the 1st?
When you move in you will pay the prorated rent for the move in month. After that rent is always due on the 1st for the duration of the lease.
When do I need to turn on my utilities?
Utilities are required to be on the day of move-in. You can call most utility companies far in advance of your move-in. It is recommended to have them on prior to your move-in date. For a list of utility providers please feel free to contact us.
I want to get a pet. What do I do?
Most of our properties are pet friendly, however some landlords may elect to not allow pets or have weight limits. To check property specific requirements, please contact our office. Further information with next steps will be sent to you. If approved, a non-refundable pet deposit is required and a monthly pet fee will be added to your account. Keep in mind, no aggressive breeds are allowed. This isn't unique to our property management company and most insurance providers won’t allow it.
