Curry Urban Properties

1. Can we move in early?

Almost all leases start in the middle of August. Unless we are able to get your apartment ready before your start date, then you cannot move in early. We typically have a 9-10 day grace period to turn a unit over and get it ready for the new tenant(s). Should someone move out early and terminate their lease we will turn that unit over quickly and notify you when it’s ready.

2. Do you charge an early move in fee?

Yes! Should we get your unit ready before the start date written on your lease we will charge you an early move in fee which is pro-rated based on the total monthly rent multiplied by the number of days you are moving in early. The amount due is not calculated on a per person basis.

3. My current lease expires before I can move into my apartment, what should I do with my stuff?

If you are living at the Lofts on College, we have limited on-site storage units available for lease. They are leased on a first come first serve basis and are very handy for those tenants who don’t want to move their stuff twice. Call now to reserve yours. We do not have enough for everyone.

4. Can you meet the movers and let them into my apartment? We are traveling this summer and I won’t be there to let them in?

No. Our staff will not meet the movers and be responsible for making sure everything gets unloaded.

5. I will be moving into the apartment before my roommate(s). Can I give you my portion of the rent and then you can collect the remaining amount when they arrive?

No, prior to moving in the balance due shall be collected in it’s entirety before anyone gets access to their new apartment. You will receive a letter stating the total due at move in, several weeks in advance. Each apartment unit should have a designated leader that is in charge of collecting rents and turning on the utilities prior to the start of your lease. If the respective roommates cannot mail their rent amount due to our office prior to the first person moving in, then it is the responsibility of the person moving in first to collect the total amount due and bring it prior to anyone receiving keys or access to the apartment.

6. Do you offer a 6 month lease?

12 month lease terms are standard.

7.Is our lease pro-rated?

Lease payments are based on 12 equal installments. The terms of your lease agreement are based on the number of calendar days stated and therefore your lease payments are not pro-rated. Each lease has a payment schedule attached for your review.

8. How much money do we need to bring at move in?

Before you move in to your new apartment we will send you a letter, several weeks in advance, stating what amount of money is owed. In all cases, your rent installments #1 (August) and #12 (July) are due at the start of your lease (which is your first and last months rent). If you reserved a parking spot, then that also will be added to the balance due at move in. Be on the lookout for your “move in letter”. It will have the total amount due upon your arrival. See FAQ #5 regarding individuals who move in before their roommate(s).

9. Why are we paying for a full months rent in August at move in?

Great question. If you have a copy of your lease, please review the Lease Payment Schedule located in the back of your agreement. Also refer to FAQ #7. Your lease is based on the number of calendar days stated and 12 equal installments. Your August rent (installment #1) covers the last few weeks of the month and the days in August of the next year up to when your lease expires. Remember, you are paying 12 equal installments and when you pay Installment #1, you are essentially paying ahead for the days in August of the following year.

10.What methods of payment do you accept?

Money Order, Cashiers Check, Personal Check or Electronic check payment through your bank. Credit Cards are not accepted at this time but may be in the future.

11.Can we sublet?

Yes you can. Per the terms and conditions of your lease agreement a fee will be charged to the tenant(s). Please read paragraph 13 in your lease to understand the fee and conditions.

12. How long does it take to get our refund on the security deposit?

Once you do a move out inspection and sign off on the report, in the State of Indiana it is 45 days.

13. Do you offer graduate school discounts?

We do not at this time.

14. Is the living environment conducive for families?

Not really. The majority of the tenants are either undergraduate or graduate students. Those that are undergraduate are mostly Juniors and Seniors.

15.Are we expected to change our own light bulbs?

Our philosophy is that if you can reach it without having to get on a ladder, then you can change to bulb. If it requires a ladder, then we are happy to change it for you. Please complete one of the on-line maintenance request forms to request service.

16. What utilities are included in our rent?

We include free Internet service, water, sewer and trash. A washer and dryer is also included in your own laundry suite.

17. Is on-site parking available?

Yes it is. One of our leasing consultants will talk about this option during your consultation. Parking is assigned on a first come first serve basis. We do monitor the parking situation and issue each holder a tag/permit for use throughout the year. Parking passes are annual and is collected at the start of your lease. Review your lease for the terms and conditions.
