Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question about MGMT Residential's apartment homes, application process, or policies?
Here are answers to some of our most frequent inquiries!
MGMT Residential receives move-out notice from our current residents about two months in advance, so that is the perfect time to begin your search and start the application process.
For our new construction communities, we begin pre-leasing 3-6 months before the official opening date, depending on the size of the community - so be sure to get on our waitlist as soon as possible!
First, check out our Communities Page to find the apartment home(s) you're most interested in. If the home is currently vacant, you can schedule a showing directly online.
If the apartment home is occupied, we must first confirm your showing time works for the current resident before scheduling you. This policy is in place to protect our residents' privacy in their living spaces - and when you live with MGMT Residential, we'll extend the same courtesy to you!
At MGMT Residential, we are committed to a fair and transparent application process. To qualify, applicants must have a monthly net income that is at least 2.5 times the rent amount, verified through income screening. Additionally, we require a good credit history and no prior evictions. Additionally, a criminal background check is conducted to ensure safety and security for all residents. For a comprehensive overview of our screening standards, please refer to our full guidelines here.
The majority of our apartment homes are 100% pet friendly with no additional fees or deposits required! Well-behaved pets of all breeds and sizes are welcome. Your lease will require written approval for your furry friend(s), so be sure to include their information on your rental application.

What is required to move-in?
To move in, you must pre-pay your first month's rent, last month's rent, and one month's rent as a security deposit, so three months' rent total. Well-qualified applicants may be eligible for a discounted move-in cost. We also require proof of renters insurance and your utility account numbers before you receive keys to your new home.
-
Do you offer promotions for Preferred Employers?
Absolutely! At MGMT Residential, we're proud to offer a Preferred Employer Program, specially crafted for those who work for or are affiliated with select local employers or groups. This program is our way of showing appreciation and making the move-in process as seamless as possible for our new residents.
-
Does rent include utilities or amenities?
Your monthly rent includes maintenance, trash collection, and snow removal, as well as access to any amenities included within the apartment community. Utility costs (water/sewer, electricity, gas, cable/internet, etc.) are the resident's responsibility.
-
How do maintenance requests and rent payments work?
Our convenient Resident Portal allows our residents to submit maintenance requests online quickly and easily! You can also download the RENTCafe app from the App Store or Google Play for easy access to your Portal on-the-go.
-
Do you offer short-term leases?
The majority of our apartment homes have a minimum lease term of 12 months. Select properties are occasionally available with month-to-month lease agreements. If a short-term lease option is available, it will be noted within the listing on our Communities page.
