Move-In

In order to make your move-in as effortless as possible, we ask that the following items be reviewed in advance. All of Northern Management’s lease agreements start at noon on the 1 st day of occupancy.

Community & Technical College Sites
Schedule your move-in date and time with the Resident Manager as far in advance as possible. Call and confirm at least 24 hours in advance of this check-in time. The move-in processing will typically run 30-45 minutes. In some cases, the option to move in early is available. Check with the Resident Manager if you are interested.

St. Cloud
If you are moving in on June or September 1 st, you will receive an additional letter with your approval letter outlining your scheduled move in session. It is important to follow the structured outline for the property you will be moving into, to ensure that you receive all the proper documents, policies and procedures for your new residence. No appointment is necessary to move in for any other lease start dates. Office hours are Monday thru Friday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. In some cases, the option to move in early is available. Please call the leasing office if you are interested.

RENT & DOCUMENTS: All paperwork must be completed and security deposit and first month's rent must be paid prior to move-in. The full apartment rent payment will be collected at move-in.If you are moving into an apartment mid-month, the prorated rent amount is due prior to receiving keys to the apartment. If you are moving in after the 15 th of the month, prorated rent plus the following months full rent is due upon receiving keys to the apartment.

NO CASH PAYMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED – PLEASE OBTAIN A MONEY ORDER OR CASHIER=S CHECK.

IMPORTANT: ***** Prior to moving any items into the unit, a Move-In Condition Statementand Apartment Diagram Sheet must be completed. Please walk through your unit to assess its condition. This serves two purposes:

If something in your apartment was overlooked, this form will alert us to what work needs to be done. If for some reason the unit is not in an unacceptable condition (cleaning or maintenance), the resident should make sure any problems are resolved before any items are moved into the unit. We will make every effort possible to have the unit ready for your move-in. WHEN MOVING IN, RESIDENTS SHOULD NEVER PARK OR DRIVE ON ANY AREAS OF GRASS.
By listing deficiencies on this form at the time of your move-in, you will not be liable for those damages that may have occurred before your occupancy. Please be very thorough, and make sure all notations are specific, complete, and accurate. (i.e. 3" black mark on north wall near the floor next to refrigerator) Avoid vague comments about scratches, holes, marks on the walls, etc., that are not well explained. This form will be retained in your resident file until you vacate this unit. The Apartment Diagram Sheet is for detailed drawings and descriptions that will better help us assess the condition of the area.

THOROUGHLY READ THE HANDBOOK FROM COVER TO COVER!! This will answer just about any questions you may have during your stay at the complex. You will be able to resolve any problems before they happen.

COMMUNITY & TECHNICAL COLLEGE HOUSING: Residents are assigned their bedroom. You must reside in the bedroom that you are assigned to. If you have a question regarding which bedroom is yours, ask the Resident Manager. Problems will arise if you are in the wrong bedroom. Do not store any personal belongings or other items in vacant bedrooms. Vacant bedrooms are to remain locked and unused.

REVIEW THE PARKING POLICY: This will prevent any immediate problems with your vehicle.

KEYS: You will be signing for a number of keys (security door, apartment door, bedroom door and mailbox), where applicable. Make sure that they work and report any problems immediately. You are responsible to keep track of your own keys. If we need to provide an "unlocking" service several times, a fee will be assessed. [See “KEYS AND SECURITY” section for further details.]

UTILITIES: Notifythe telephone, cable and utility companies (where appropriate) of the date you moved in. We recommend that students obtain a calling card and do not have a long distance carrier on their telephone. Arrangements will have to be made with your roommates on paying joint bills. Other services that should be notified are: Post Office (leave forwarding address), banks, insurance company, magazine subscriptions, credit accounts, voter registration, doctors, employer, etc.

RENTER’S INSURANCE: Northern Management highly recommends that all residents obtain renter’s insurance. Remember that the property owner’s insurance will not cover your personal possessions. Obtaining coverage for these items is your responsibility, and may help to protect you from such losses as fire, theft, vandalism, flood, tornado, and such like. In the case of our student residents, you may have coverage for your possessions under your parents’ homeowner’s policy--contact them and find out! Renter’s insurance offers coverage for not only your personal possessions, but damage to other residents’ property, liability to others and supplemental living expenses if your apartment becomes temporarily uninhabitable .

Following these initial guidelines and thoroughly reading and abiding by the Resident Handbook should make your stay at the apartment complex a positive experience. If you have any questions please feel free to contact your Resident Manager or Northern Management. Good Luck!
