Should you be away for the summer with an ongoing lease, your properties could be stored safely in your room and notify the leasing office of potential absence which would add a discount to your rent for the months you happen to be absent.
The most economical unit is a 3-bedroom one bath: each room with its own sink, mirror, vanity and light bar, rents at $468.00 per month. There are also 3-bedroom 3-bath, 2-bedroom 2-bath and 1-bedroom 1-bath apartments, which rents at $612, $688 and $777 dollars per month respectively. The rent and utility bills are paid online through an app called RentCafe. There is also a $500 security deposit, $200 administration fee, $10 parking fee per year and $25 application fee.
The late fee policy is a $50 charge on the sixth day of every month and an additional $50 on the 16th day of each month if the fees haven’t been fully paid by that time. There are no lease termination fees because the lease cannot be terminated, the only option would be to have someone move into the apartment in your place and it is approved by the leasing office, which would automatically cancel your lease.
Pets are allowed except aggressive pets for the safety of the other residents. Pet name, shot records, weight and size should be provided to the office. There is a monthly pet rent of $10 for cats and $20 for dogs.
In the security aspects, there are cameras all around the property and the property is patrolled by Lake Land College Police Department. For transportation options, the Dial-A-ride services are available and you would be picked up in front of Neal Hall and the times are available through their website.
