Frequently Asked Questions

HOW DO I PAY?

Download the application, “Resident Center,” by Buildium. The app will serve as your tenant portal and will allow you to make one-time or recurring payments.

Rent is due on the 1st of every month. Late fees may apply.

HOW CAN I CALL SOMEONE TO TAKE CARE OF AN ISSUE IN MY UNIT?

Similar to the payment, your app will allow you to make maintenance requests that will allow you to add pictures or details explaining the issue. The app will tell you when we receive your request, when it is in progress, and when it is complete. For urgent matters, please call (309)232-8765.

CAN I SUBLET MY UNIT?

Subletting your unit is not allowed under the terms of your lease agreement. If you need to vacate your unit before the end of your lease, please contact our management team to discuss your options.

WHAT OTHER THINGS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN MY UNIT?

We do not allow clotheslines for drying clothes outside to prevent items from being blown away by the wind or potentially stolen. Outdoor drying can pose a risk of items ending up in other people’s balconies or in the trees, creating unnecessary mess and inconvenience.
