Move In Information
In order to help make the
experience a little easier I wanted to provide some basic information.
First Rent Payment
Late fees will apply even if
you are not staying at the apartment from the beginning.
Rent Payment Information
Please include the tenant’s name
and apartment on each check. Some people prefer to pay up front to match
their loan payouts. A $15/mo ($180) or
$10/mo ($60) discount will be given for full year / half year pre-payments. Best
Bet - an easy way to pay on time every month and make sure you don’t have
late fees is to set up automatic bill payment through your bank. Call for
information.
Move-in time
Please arrange your move-in
time with me a day or two ahead so I can meet you with the keys.
Utilities
For
the tenants who do not have utilities included and those that need Internet service here are some
important numbers: Contact Niagara
Mohawk (http://www.nationalgridus.com/niagaramohawk/
or 1-800- 642-4272) for Gas and Electric turn-on for your start date and
contact Time Warner Cable http://www.timewarnercable.com/albany/
518-869-5500) for cable TV and/or internet 2+ weeks ahead of time. DO NOT let Time Warner drill any holes to
run cable – call me.
Renters Insurance
I very strongly recommend renters
insurance for each tenant. It is
easily available online or often obtained through a parent’s homeowner’s policy
insurance agent. It is not very
expensive, but without it you have nothing in case of fire, water damage, or
theft or someone suing you for getting injured at your apartment.

Furniture
Because most of my apartments
are furnished there should be no need to bring furniture. Consider that you
will be responsible for returning all furniture to its original locations
before proceeding with bringing new furniture into the home. The storage for the apartment furniture must
be arranged for separately and will be required in all instances. I do not
maintain space for storage. I must be
involved in any furniture coming or going into all apartments, Be careful not to damage walls and doors
when you are moving in. If you need to
hang anything heavy, let me know and I will help.
