What should I do if I have a lease-related question or receive mail for the owners?

Please login to your resident portal, click the Maintenance tab on the left navigation panel, and then click “Request Maintenance”. We know that it is confusing because a question of lease or owner’s mail is not maintenance. We are working with the technology provider to change that, at the same time, please use this way to communicate with us. We will respond most requests within 1 business day.

Request Maintenance

When is rent due every month?

Rent is due on the first day of the month and will be considered late once it’s past midnight on the first day of the month. There is normally a grace period of 5 days. This means that if you have not paid rent by close of business on the 5th you will be charged a late fee.

Can I be exempted from paying the late charges?

We understand that there could be difficult times in life. However, the late fee is strictly enforced. Although you may have an excellent rent payment record, the law requires us to treat all tenants equally.

What if I will pay the rent late?

If you will be late in paying rent this month, please let us know as soon as possible by submitting a maintenance request on your portal. We will follow up with you within one business day. We cannot waive the late fee per the explanation on the late fee question, but we will need to inform the owner and work out a plan to avoid the eviction process.

What should I do if the smoke or CO detector is beeping?

All the residents are required to maintain the battery in the smoke and CO detectors.

What if I get locked out?

Please find a local locksmith to help get access to your property.

What if I damage the property?

Accident happens! If you damage the property accidentally, please notify us as soon as possible through online maintenance requests. Please submit photos and videos to document the damage. You are required to have the property repaired to the previous condition.

Can I paint the wall to another color or do minor changes?

According to the lease, it is not permitted to paint or change the property without owner consent. If you plan to do anything, please send us a maintenance request.

Who is responsible for the lawn?

Unless stated differently in the lease, all the lawn is the resident’s responsibility.
