KEYS: Each resident should receive (if applicable) a controlled access key for the front main door, an apartment unit key for the main entrance of the apartment, and a bedroom key (if applicable). Mailbox keys are issued one per entire unit. The resident will be responsible for each of these keys. A $10 replacement charge will be assessed to the resident for each key that is lost or not returned at the time of move out. If residents lose their keys or temporarily misplace their keys, they must rely on their roommates for access to their unit or be prepared to pay the replacement charge for new keys. Keys will not be temporarily loaned out from the apartment office. The replacement charge must be paid prior to receiving the new keys.
If a resident gets locked out of their apartment, there will be a lock-out charge, payable in advance, which can range from a minimum of $10 up to the cost of paying for a locksmith to unlock the unit (this fee can range form $70-$150). Residents are responsible for maintaining control of their keys. While we do have on-site personnel to facilitate a lock-out, they are not obligated to unlock the door in such a situation-it is done as a courtesy. Additionally, please note that there may be times when our personnel are not available to do so.
Special locks, chains or security systems are not permitted and cannot be installed on any door in the complex. If a resident requests a lock change during their residency, they must provide the Resident Manager with a written request to schedule the change. There will be a lock change fee of $50 for the cost associated with the change, payable in advance.
When the resident is vacating, all of the keys must be turned in, properly labeled and placed in an envelope with the resident’s name, unit # and bedroom letter on it, and deposited with the Resident Manager. Any keys that are left unlabeled and are just dropped off will be discarded and the resident will be charged for missing keys. Keys should not be left anywhere except in the Resident Manager’s office. Residents who fail to return their keys at the time they vacate their unit may be subject to forfeiture of their deposit.

SECURITY: All efforts are made to secure the buildings. The front controlled access doors in some buildings may be left unlocked during daylight hours but may be closed and secured at night. If you do run across a door that is propped open by a foreign object, please take the initiative to close the door. Residents are not allowed to prop the doors open under any circumstances.
The units themselves are equipped with dead bolt locks, which should be locked upon leaving a unit. The bedrooms provide minimal security for each resident. No money, high value jewelry or any type of liquid asset should be stored in an apartment. Residents who do store such items are simply inviting trouble. Please refer to the section on "Renter’s Insurance".
