For the majority of the properties that we manage, our lease terms are for 12 months beginning and ending each August. In some cases, a shorter term may be an option depending on current resident status and/or leasing specials that may be running. Please ask one of our leasing consultants for details.
If you are an undergraduate student without full-time employment, a guaranty agreement must be completed by a
parent/guardian.
In most cases, no. We use an electronic document and signature platform to convey leases and guaranty agreements. So long as the guaranty agreement is completed in full and signed electronically, notarization is not required.
Yes, provided that you qualify with sufficient income, credit history, and landlord references. Another option is to
pay the rent in full for the entire lease term in advance.
Security deposit refund checks will be mailed via USPS thirty (30) days after the lease end date. You must provide a forwarding address, either in writing or online, to our office.
The security deposit is refunded as one check made payable to all lessees. This is due to the fact that the lease is ‘joint and several’. Additionally, it allows the residents to work out any conflicts internally. Please be advised that all lessees must endorse the check before it can be deposited or cashed.
It is possible to have the security deposit check made payable solely to one lessee. To do this, all lessees must complete and sign an addendum to the lease. Please contact our office to have this prepared for you. We will be glad to circulate the document for signature using an electronic signature platform.
No. The security deposit is not to be used toward rent. Please be advised that you will be charged late fees for any
unpaid rent.
Due to the vast number of places that we must prepare for new tenants in August and the short amount of time that we are granted, this is generally not possible. The move-in date is printed on page one (1) of your lease agreement; please be sure to plan accordingly to take occupancy on or after this date.
Unfortunately, this is not possible. Due to the fact that ARPM does not own the properties or the furnishings that are provided, we are not authorized to remove them.
Replacement keys are available for purchase at our office.
During business hours, you may stop by our office to borrow a key. We require a valid photo ID and $5.00 deposit ($25.00 for electronic keys) as collateral. After business hours, you must contact our on-call emergency maintenance service at 814-237-5811. Please be prepared to show a valid photo ID, a copy of your lease or sublet agreement, and provide payment at the time of service.
