    A month to month lease is a lease that automatically renews each month until 30 days notice is given which effectively ends your lease. The notice does need to be received via email.

    Yes, The units are expected to be returned clean, and the cleaning fee is used to offset our costs of our housekeeper, painter, and maintenance that is taken care of in the unit between residents. The amount of the fee will vary depending on the building and is deducted from your deposit at the end of your lease. There is a charge for the mattress cover and shower curtain as well so that these are new for each new resident and protect our mattresses and the floors from water damage.

  • Can I bring my own furniture instead of the furniture that is provided?

    Small items such as lamps or non-wall-mounted TVs are allowed. However, we do not allow items such as dressers, beds, desks, or similar large items to be moved in to the furnished units as this prevents damage to the buildings. We do have a small amount of unfurnished units at the Ida if an unfurnished unit is preferred.

  • What happens if my lease does not begin on the 1st of the month?

    With any prorated fees for a move in not on the first of the month, you may be required to pay the prorated rental price, the following months rental payment, and deposit. These payments should be completed before arrival, precisely eight business days before arrival, to allow time for bank processing.

  • Are you open holidays for move-ins or showings?

    Our office is closed on all major holidays such as Christmas or July 4th. We do not schedule move-ins or showings for days such as these as they are taken for time with our families.

  • Are all payments required prior to move in?

    All payments must settle prior to move in. At times this may require a payment via credit card as processing time is quicker. There is a fee of 3.5% to pay with a credit card and this is not waived at any time.
