Associated pet fees are as follows:
Pet Fee: $300 (Non-refundable, due at move-in)

What lease terms are available?
We typically offer 12-month lease terms at market rate. Short-term leases ranging from 6-11
months may be available for a $75/month premium, depending on availability. Please contact our
leasing team with your desired lease term.
How much is the security deposit?
The earnest deposit of $500 becomes your security deposit upon moving in and refundable upon
moving out so long as there is no rent/other charges owed or significant damage within the
apartment you rented.
How do I get my security deposit back?
Trillium Management will mail your security deposit settlement within the 30 days required by
Michigan law. To ensure timely delivery, the law also requires you, the resident, to provide a
forwarding address to the Landlord within four days of moving out. Your security deposit will be
returned less any outstanding rent, utilities, and damages to the property beyond normal wear and
tear.
When is the rent due?
Rent is due on the 1st of each month. A $50 late fee is assessed for payments received after the
5th. Certified funds (cashier's check/money order) are then the only acceptable payment method
once rent is considered late. Payment methods through the Resident Portal may be disabled until the balance is satisfied beyond this deadline.
How can I pay rent?
You can pay online via your Resident Portal and you have the option to schedule automatic
payments with your credit/debit card or bank account. You may also opt to submit a personal
check, money order, or cashier’s check within the onsite rent drop box located to the right of the office door. If this is your chosen payment method, we ask that your building and apartment
number be listed on the physical payment. Cash is not accepted.
How do I enter a maintenance request?
Maintenance requests can be entered online via your Resident Portal or by contacting our office team directly
by phone or email. Please ensure you provide details regarding whether our
maintenance team has your permission to enter M-F, 9-4:30 pm upon our availability. If not, please
let us know which date and timeframe works best if you desire to be home at the time of entry.
Example: Tuesdays 1-4 pm. Additionally, all pets must be contained before our entry,
so please consider this when scheduling.
Does my rent include utilities?
Included with your rent are water, sewer, gas, trash, internet, snow removal, landscaping, and general maintenance.
Residents are responsible for electricity (Consumers Energy), and cable (optional).
