A: No, as per all of our lease agreements each group of tenants must submit one check each month for rent.

Q: What are the utility bills like?
A: Our tenants pay their utility bills directly so it is very difficult for us to say what your
average utility may be. The best way to find out is to use our "Helpful Links" page and contact the various companies regarding the specific properties, they should be able to give you an annual average.

Q: Do I get a late charge if my rent is on time but my roommate has not contributed his/her portion of the rent?
