Question 1

What does Individual Leasing mean?

Accepted Answer

Each resident signs their own lease for their specific bedroom. So, if a roommate moves out, the other residents are not responsible for that person’s rent. Please note that common areas are a shared space.

Question 2

What are rental installments? Why is my rent not prorated?

Accepted Answer

A rental installment is a payment made as part of a series of payments. To simplify the billing process, the entire sum of the housing contract is divided into equal installments. Instead of reducing the first installment and increasing the remaining installments, all installments are equal.

Question 3

How do I pay my rent and when is it due?

Accepted Answer

Rent is due the first of each month and may be paid online by ACH, debit or credit card through the resident portal or by check or money order at the leasing office. No cash accepted. Convenience fees may be charged for online payments. Late fees vary by property. Refer to your Housing Contract for more information.

Question 4

What if I need something repaired in my apartment?

You may submit a service request in the following ways: Option 1: Enter a service request through the online resident portal. Option 2: E‐mail your request to your community and a team member will enter a service request on your behalf. Option 3: Visit or call the office during normal business hours and a team member will be happy to enter your service request.

For Emergency Requests: A maintenance team member is on call 24/7 for emergency maintenance needs (i.e. door/window lock issues, major leaks, plumbing, no heat or AC during weather extremes, refrigerator not cooling, no electricity/gas/water, etc.). Please CALL the office at any time. If after business hours, an operator will assist you.

What should I bring to my new apartment?

Furniture and appliances are included, but residents should bring personal items. Common area items include electronics, décor, kitchenware, and cleaning supplies. Bedroom items include linens, pillows, towels, toiletries, and personal electronics.
