Yes. Our goal is to get the property back in the same condition in which we gave it to you. We make deductions against the security deposit based on the move-out condition, natural wear and tear, and the amount of time you’ve occupied the property. To determine any tenant related damage, we use inspections with photos and notes for the move-in and move-out inspection. Even if you’ve lived somewhere for years, leaving the property clean when you move-out is 100% controllable. We are always happy to discuss any security deposit deductions with you after move-out.

Generally, if a resident wants to terminate the lease early, lease terms allow for a lease assignment for a fee of 1 month’s rent or $1000, whichever amount is greater.

If you need help please call the office. Above all, communicate about any issues so that we can all work together to find a solution that works for everyone.

Rent can be paid online using your tenant portal or in person. If you pay rent online via your resident portal, you may use routing/checking number, credit card, or debit card. Using your routing and checking account information is free. If you use a debit or credit card, a transaction fee or percentage is added. You may also drop off a check or money order at our office. We have a drop off slot to the left of the front door for after hours payments. During office hours, feel free to come in and drop off rent directly to us.

If the property allows pets, there is a $350 non-refundable pet fee per pet. If you are applying for a property, the ad should state the pet policy. If you already rent with us and want to know if your property allows pets, just reach out to us and we will let you know.

Above all, you must treat your pet(s) for fleas. If you move-out and there are fleas or fleas hatch over the coming weeks, there are fines and charges to remedy the issue. Having fleas at a property when a new tenant moves in will taint their experience working with us.
