Colony Club purchases electricity, gas & water in bulk quantities and is able to pass the savings on to our residents. There is a utility budget which covers the cost for heat, air conditioning, gas & water. The utility budget is only $85/month for the first person and $25/month for each additional person. These rates are guaranteed for the term of your lease. At Colony Club, you don't have to worry about paying a volatile winter gas bill. Your rates are low and locked. 2. What are the requirements to be approved to move-in?1. A good credit history (1+ years of on-time payments, no collections, no bankruptcy, no negative public records, etc.)
2. A good rental history (1+ years of on-time payments, no noise complaints, no lease violations, no evictions, etc.) For more information please see a leasing agent. 3. Do I need a guarantor?A guarantor is required when an applicant does not have sufficient credit or rental histories. (Except in the case of a negative credit or rental history. Negative histories disqualify the applicant.) A guarantor must have 5+ years of good credit history. 4. Is there an application fee?No fee! And it usually takes us just a couple of days to process an application. 5. How far in advance do you know what apartments are available?About 30 days. We suggest contacting us 4-5 weeks before the earliest date you are able to move to learn our availability. Please feel free to contact us anytime, though, to visit our community, view the model, check out the floor plans and learn more about us. 6. Is there a waiting list?No. Apartments are rented on a first-come, first-served basis. We do keep a list of applications on file of people interested in moving in, but there is no priority given to applications on file. We ask that each applicant contact us 4-5 weeks before the earliest date they are able to move to learn about our availability. 7. Do I have to sign another lease after the first year?No. At the end of the first year the Rental Agreement automatically becomes a month to month lease. You only need to give us 60 days notice, oral and written, before moving out. 8. What is the lease term?Generally 12-months. However, shorter-term agreements (3, 6 or 9 months) are available. Please see a leasing agent for more details. 9. What happens if I break the lease?You'd be responsible for rent until the apartment is re-rented or until your lease would have expired, whichever comes first. There are other charges for re-painting, cleaning, and our efforts to re-rent the apartment. Please see a leasing agent for further information. 10. What is the square footage of the apartments?Click here for 1 BR Absolutely. Just come in during office hours and well be happy to show you around. If our office hours arent convenient to your schedule, please give us a call and well try to arrange an appointment for you. 12. What is EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer)?EFT is the electronic payment of rent from your checking account. Our residents have paid their rent using this method since 1983. You dont have to write, mail or drop off a check. Rent is electronically paid on the 3rd of each month and appears on your monthly statement as Colony Club Apartments, LLC along with the amount of your rent. No hassle and no worrying about getting it to the office on time. Its always on time. 13. Do you have 24-hour maintenance?We have 24-hour emergency maintenance. A member of our staff carries the emergency cellular phone at all times. (Routine maintenance is handled via maintenance slips submitted to us by our residents and is performed during normal business hours on weekdays from 9-5). 14. How is your maintenance response?Excellent. Many, many residents comment favorably on the promptness of our maintenance service. 15. Is Colony Club a quiet community?Yes. We provide a quiet, civilized atmosphere for our residents. Applicants are required to sign our noise policy form along with the Rental Agreement. (Click here to review our noise policy). Also, sound (and fire) protection is provided by 8-inch concrete block walls between apartments and 1 ½-inch foam concrete floors on the floors above the ground floor. 16. Are pets allowed?No pets, except for fish. (Or a bird if it is not disturbing to neighbors.) 17. Are the buildings secured?While most of the doors require a key to enter, some do not. Colony Club does not provide security. 18. Are you near the busline?Walking distance! There is a COTA bus stop (corner of Chambers Road and Northwest Boulevard) just a couple of minutes from your new apartment home. 19. Do I need a sticker for parking?No. We have our own, large parking lot with spaces available on a first-come first-served basis. 20.
