Additional Information
Rent Collection
- Rent Payments are due on the 1st day of the month with a grace period until the 3rd. We will not be sending monthly reminders for rent or flat rate utilities. Late fees are assessed without notice starting the 4th day of the month. No more than 2 checks will be accepted for each property. Please make sure to always indicate the property that you are leasing on the check or money order submitted.
- If your lease starts or ends during the month, you will owe a pro-rated rent/utilities. To figure out the amount owed, do the following: Total amount due divided by 30, multiplied by the number of days you are occupying the property.
- Approved ways of payment: check (personal or cashier), money order, or credit/debit card (a 3% processing fee will be applied for card usage). No cash payment is accepted.
- Flat rate utility payments are due with your monthly rent on the 1st. Invoiced utilities from our office are due on the date indicated on said invoice.
- Money paid will be applied to the oldest charge on your account, making any unpaid balance late. Late fees will incur as they are outlined in the Lease Contract.
- Any insufficient checks will incur a minimum fee of $100 and late fees will be assessed until certified funds are received. The tenant will then be required to deliver all subsequent payments throughout the lease term with certified funds.
