Making Rent Payments

General Payment Policies:

  • Rent is due on the 1st of each month and is considered late at Noon (12:00 PM) on the 5th, unless otherwise specified in your lease agreement. Please note this timeline includes weekends and holidays. See Lease Agreement for late fee amounts.
  • We do not accept cash. Sending cash or an incomplete check or money order is not the company’s responsibility.
  • Personal checks will not be accepted after the 15th.
  • Place your name and property address on the check or money order to ensure that you are properly credited with rental payment.
  • Review your check or money order and ensure it has the names of payer and payee.
  • If a rent check is returned for insufficient funds (NSF), there will be a $25.00 returned check fee for all Non-Sufficient Fund checks.
