Leasing Answers - Current Tenants
Where do I
send first month's rent?
First month's rent, (in the form
of a money order, certified check, or
cashier's check) should be given along
with your signed Leases, Security Deposit
Receipts, Lead Disclosure and Heat Disclosure
(if applicable) to your resident manager.
Where
do I send my (monthly) rent after the
first month?
Your rent should be given to
the resident manager of your building.
How
can I get a parking spot?
If parking is offered at your
building, please call ask your resident
manager to check availability. Since many
of our buildings are in popular areas
where parking is at a premium, there may
be a waitlist for parking. Parking spots
are offered on a first-come, first-served
basis, and current Tenants are given priority
over non-residents.
Is
there guest parking at my building?
Sorry, but we cannot provide
parking for guests at any of the buildings
we manage.
What pets
can I have in my apartment?
Pet policies are determined by
each individual building’s resident
manager. Additionally, pet allowance is
subject to weight limits. Please note
that all pets must be approved by us in
advance, in writing. Please see the Landmark
Buildings page for your building, or the
building you are considering moving in
to, for more information.
Is
renter's insurance required under my Lease?
Our building insurance does not
cover, and we cannot be responsible for:
A) damage to any of your personal property
in your apartment regardless of the cause,
or B) any injuries occurring in your apartment
to you or your guests which are caused
by your negligence. For this reason, you
are encouraged to purchase a renter's
(personal property and general liability)
insurance policy, and we also ask that
you provide us with a copy of the policy.
How
much will my rent go up at the end of
my Lease?
On a historical basis, most rent
increases have fallen within a range between
3 and 6 percent, with some more and some
less. In setting the rents for your building,
we consider many factors, including the
expenses of the building, real estate
taxes, and market rents for comparable
buildings in the area. For this reason,
we often do not know what your new rent
will be until it is close to the time
to renew your Lease. You will be given
the new rent for your apartment along
with your Lease Extension Agreement approximately
30 days before the end of your Lease.
How
do I renew my Lease?
Upon expiration of your one year
lease agreement, your lease automatically
becomes a month to month lease.
How
do I delete roommates?
To remove someone from your Lease,
you will need to have said tenant write
a formal letter stating his or her desire
to waive all right and liability to the
apartment. This can only be done after
the lease has expired and and the roommate
widhing to be deleted from the lease is
on month to month tenancy. Please see
your resident manager for details.
Can
I switch from my current Landmark apartment
to another?
Please notify your resident manager
if you wish to move to another of our
apartments at the end of your Lease. Our
Leasing staff will explain what your next
steps should be.
How
do I get out of my Lease before its natural
expiration date?
In most cases, we do not allow
tenants to breach their lease contract.
However, if you are approved to do so,
you will be required to show your apartment
until it is rented as well as cover the
rent until the new tenant begins paying.
