We allow adult, spayed or neutered cats and caged rabbits in most units with an additional $200.00 deposit, and an additional $10.00 per month rent. A written agreement is required before any cat is allowed in the unit, even if it is for a short time, or the tenant is simply “cat-sitting”.  Just give us a call and we can have an agreement ready for you to sign.

We also allow fish at no extra cost. Sorry, we do not allow dogs, ferrets, snakes, iguanas, or any type of rodent in any of our properties.

The resident assumes complete responsibility for any damage or disturbance caused by any pet.

Any notice to vacate must be given in writing, and must contain your name and address, and the date you will be completely moved out. You may come to our office and complete a form, complete a form with your resident manager, if applicable, complete the form online or fax or mail a written statement to our office.

If you are moving and you have already fulfilled your minimum term, follow these guidelines to give proper notice:

Moving between March 1 and October 31 of any year (30 day notice) – submit your written notice to vacate on or before the first day of the month when you plan to move. Your move out date must be the last day of the month. For instance, if you intend to move on June 30, you need to have your notice in our office on or before June 1. There is no grace period, so make sure you have it there on or before the 1st.

Moving between November 1 and February 29 of any year (60 day notice) – submit your written notice to vacate on or before the first day of the month before you plan to move. Your move out date must be the last day of the following month. For instance, if you intend to move on January 31, you need to have your notice in our office on or before December 1. There is no grace period, so make sure you have it there on or before the 1st.

Here is a quick “cheat sheet” for the notice requirement if you have fulfilled your minimum term:

If you are moving before the expiration of your minimum term, you should supply our office with your written notice to vacate as soon as possible, along with your $125.00 early termination fee. Once we have received your notice, we will attempt to re-rent your apartment and minimize your liability. However, you must continue to make rent payments and keep utilities in your name until your unit has been re-rented.

Please refer to your individual Rental Agreement for its specific terms.

Your deposit record and check (if applicable) will be mailed out within 30 days of the date all occupants move out of the apartment and return keys.  Please provide us a forwarding address to which it should be mailed.
