A security deposit equivalent to 1x to 1.5x the rent is required and based on credit.  Residents are expected to pay a one-time Administration Fee of $100.  Residents also pay rent, either the full month or prorated depending on the move-in date.  If the move-in date falls on or after the 25th of the month, a prorate for that month, plus the next full month would be due.  All other optional fees for parking or pets would also be due.

Once your application has been approved and the lease is signed, our team will schedule your move-in appointment.  The appointment time allows for a brief orientation of the building, key exchange and provides independent use of the freight elevator.

All pipes and main lines in the building were replaced upon renovation of the building.  Additionally, The City of Flint’s water system has undergone extensive infrastructure projects.  More information may be found on the City’s of Flint’s website: https://www.cityofflint.com/progress-report-on-flint-water/

We absolutely do!  Our building has a designated mail area where carriers can deliver your items.  We can even place a package inside your home if requested.

Yes.  The owner’s policy does not cover damage caused by residents, or damage to resident’s personal property.  All residents are required to maintain minimum liability coverage in the amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).  This coverage may be obtained by a provider of resident’s choice.  However, we make the process simple by including coverage options during the application process.  Residents that bring an animal onto the property must have animal coverage noted.  If your liability coverage lapses for any reason, or fails to meet the criteria, we will obtain liability coverage on your behalf at the current rate, plus administrative fees, billed to your account.  

Maintenance requests must be submitted in writing through the online resident portal.  The only exception is a valid emergency.  The after-hours emergency maintenance number is (855) 335-7365.  This number is also displayed in the resident portal and in the informational packet provided at move-in. 

We strive to provide prompt resolutions to our resident’s maintenance needs.  In a non-emergency situation, please allow up to two business days for our team to address.  If you have not heard from our office or one of our vendors within 48 business hours, please contact us and we’ll be glad to help you get the issue resolved.
