MOVE-IN: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
We know what you’re thinking. Can’t wait until move-in? We’re not so patient either. That’s why we created a list of only the most important need-to-knows for your upcoming move.
In the meantime, drop us a line if you have any questions or just want to chat. No ridiculously long phone menu when you call us – we promise.
Here’s to the start of a healthy (digital) relationship.
KEEP SCROLLING
MOVE-IN AND FIRST PAYMENT
We love that you already have move-in marked in your calendar for 9:00am on August 15, 2024. And to show our appreciation, we’ve compiled important information you’ll need to know. Sure, we’re asking you to read about late charges and paperwork, but it doesn’t make our gratitude less real.
When you arrive at Lark on 42nd for move-in, please follow the signs to check in and pick up the keys to your new home.
If you want to avoid late charges (and who doesn’t?), you’ll want to make sure that your first installment, along with any administrative fees not yet paid, are paid by August 1, 2024. Late charges will apply unless we have received the first installment payment within the two-day grace period (by August 3, 2024). Checks or money orders should be made payable to Lark on 42nd and can be mailed or brought directly to our office.
You can also pay online through the resident portal using a debit card, credit card or electronic checking transfer, or by automatic recurring charge to your debit card, credit card or bank account. There are no conveniences fees when paying from your bank account or with a check.
GUARANTOR FORM
Class hasn’t even started yet and we’re already talking about paperwork. Lucky for you, this won’t be graded.
Nothing ruins move-in faster than missing paperwork (trust us). If you haven’t done so already, please submit your guarantor form. We’ll need to approve this before you’re able to move-in.
UTILITIES
Please also note that there is a monthly administrative fee of up to $6.00 to maintain your electricity and water/sewer billing, as provided in your Housing Agreement. This amount will be billed with your regular installments. Our billing provider will e-mail bills for electricity and water/sewer directly to each resident, but all payments must be submitted to our office using one of the payment methods outlined above.
RENTER’S LIABILITY INSURANCE
It’s probably not something you normally think about, but you are required to have at least $100,000 of liability protection by the time you move in, and throughout your stay with us. This doesn’t cost much, and is designed to protect you if you accidentally cause a fire or flood. As unlikely as that sounds, if something happens, you’ll be very glad to have it. How easy have we made it to take care of this requirement? You don’t have to do anything at all; we’ll automatically charge your account $15 per installment, waive the requirement to provide separate insurance, and buy our own insurance to cover the same risks. If you have your own liability insurance and don’t want to be charged for this, please upload your insurance certificate and we’ll let you know right away if it meets the requirements. We also recommend insuring your personal property—click here for an easy option for this optional coverage.
EXPRESS CHECK-IN
To show you how glad we are that you’re here, we have a special just-for-you perk: express check-in, AKA the key to beating long lines on move-in day.
To get on the fast track for check-in, click here for the resident portal link and register online. From here, you’ll want to make sure you can answer yes to each of the questions below:
- Did you make your first installment payment?
- Did you enter your vehicle information (if applicable)?
- Did you sign any pending documents?
If you answered yes to all of the above, you’re one step closer to your new home. Besides that, all you need to bring with you is a valid photo ID. Please click here to sign up for a move-in time on your desired move-in date. Contact us if you have any questions.
