You may also pay by Mastercard or Visa at the office or by phone. If you wish us to debit your credit/debit card every month, you can print the form on this site and mail it in or drop it off at the office.
 
2. Renter's insurance
The insurance carried on the building covers only our buildings, not your personal belongings. We strongly recommend you get renter's insurance for your personal belongings.
 
3.Parking permits
We require parking permits at 805 & 905 E. Park St., 404 & 406 W. Mill and 403 W. Freeman St.
Stickers must be picked up at the office by you not your roommate. You will be notified when to pick your sticker up. There is a parking information sheet in your welcome bag you should probably fill out. We do not issue visitor or temporary parking stickers. NO EXCEPTIONS! You will be instructed where to place the sticker as well as where visitors should park. We tow 24 hours a day.
 
3B. Parking for visitors is as follows: Mill & Freeman St. visitors may park at the bottom of the hill in the first few spots where the sign is posted. Visitor parking hours are from 5pm - 8am everyday, weekends are not an exception.
Park St. visitors may park in the gravel lots to the left of the B and D buildings or in the very back lot. IF you park on the pavement and are towed, it is your responsibility to handle getting your car out of the tow yard.  If your vehicle or a friend's vehicle has been towed please call (618) 549-7222.
 
 
4. Pets
We do accept small pets under 50 pounds at certain locations.  There is a $250 non-refundable pet deposit with extra charge of $100 a month for your pet!!
 
5. Hanging pictures
First, if you must hang pictures, use the smallest hardware possible. The smaller the hole the less expensive to fix. If you leave holes in the wall, they will be fixed at your expense. DO NOT TAPE THINGS TO THE WALL!!. When the tape is removed, it frequently removes paint and tears the drywall. Repairing drywall can be quite pricey.
 
6. Satellite dishes
NOT ALLOWED!!
 
 

Information you may find helpful:
 
We do a pest control service the third Tuesday and Thursday of every month.
 
Invest in a toilet plunger. If we have to come plung your toilet, we charge $50.00/hour.
 
We check your smoke detector and change the air conditioner/furnace filter every 3 - 4 months. You should check it as often as possible.
 
 
 

Renewing your lease and Showings
 
In December, you will receive a letter in the mail reminding you if you plan to stay in your apartment the following year you must have a lease signed by January 15. If you have not signed a lease the apartment is open to the public to view/lease. After January 15, you will be given no special preference.
 
It is important to keep in mind that a clean apartment rents faster than a dirty one. When showing apartment we try to call first but that can't always be done. If someone shows up to see an apartment, we take him/her to see an apartment. Please ensure you have given us a valid phone number. If we don't have a phone number, we can't call.
FYI - if you have a pet and it gets out while we are doing routine maintence or showing we will NOT chase your pet to get them back in the apartment.
