Answers to your frequently asked questions
-
I signed my lease. What do I need to do next?
After your lease is finalized, you'll need to handle your security deposit, first month’s rent, and utilities setup for your move-in date. To manage these tasks, please access your Tenant Portal. Within the portal, you can conveniently make one-time or recurring payments using a credit or debit card, albeit with a nominal convenience fee. Additionally, ensure utilities are established in your name by completing the utility setup Google Form linked in the congratulatory email sent after lease signing.
Please note, we do not accept cash payments.
