**Now Pre-Leasing for Summer/Fall 2023** Move-In Specials Going On Right Now, Hurry due to the Limited Number of Vacancies.

Pre-Leasing is a way to secure a loft that is over a two week to several months in advance time frame of moving in to your choice of lofts. This is an especially great program for students who leave for the summer and need a place when they return for school in the fall. Here is how our Pre-Leasing Program works:

• The first step is to find a loft that you love!
• Then you will need to file an application.
• In order for us to reserve a loft for you, we will need you to sign a lease and pay the deposit for the loft. *deposits vary per loft*

The simple answer is there is not a way for us to know before an application comes in and we have processed all the information.

We are looking for basic criteria in prospective tenants as a basis for your approval. With your help we will do everything we can to try to get you approved but there are cases where that may not happen. The more information you can provide us the better the chances are we will be able to work with you.

Things Owners want to see on your application and will help you get approved.

• Good Rental History
• Job History
• A clean background.
• Having never been charged or convicted of a felony.
• The ability to pay rent with a good income source.

Below are items that may cause us say no or ask for more money down, last month’s rent, co-signers, or other additional consideration in order to try to work with you in an effort to get you approved.

• Lack of Rental History
• Bad Rental History (multiple late pays or any evictions)
• Negative items on your background (evictions, criminal charges, etc.)
• Bad checks or excessive collection items on your credit
• No income
• No co-signer (co-signers required for anyone under the age of 22 and/or students)

Please help us by being honest and up-front on the application and explain any issues in detail.

All Rent checks should be written to the building you live in (ex: if you live in Artifacts Warehouse Lofts, please write your check to Artifacts). They should include the tenant name, loft number, and what the check is for on the memo line.
Rent is due on the first day of each month.

When 2 (or more) parties enter into a lease, they become both jointly AND severally liable, meaning that the full amount is due on the due date and the rent is 100% collectible from one or all parties. It is up to the roommates to decipher how much they should pay jointly and it does not matter as long it is paid in full.

If one roommate pays half and the other(s) do not pay, the delinquent amount is collectible from ALL parties, including the roommate that has already paid half. However, the roommate should save receipts and payment records because they have a very legitimate cause for collecting that amount from the other roommate(s), but would be a small claims suit outside of the lease agreement and would not have anything to do with the landlord.

We offer approximately 12-month leases. Our leases always begin on the 10th of the month and complete on the 20th of the final month of the lease term.

Yes! We love our furry tenants!

Cat: $300
Small Dog: $300
Medium Dog: $400

Multiple Pets: Deposits are per-pet.
Caged animals are also permitted and the Caged Animal Fee starts at $50 and goes up based on the specific breed of animal(s).

You will always need to get a pet approved before bringing the pet into your home. If you are found to have an unauthorized pet you will be charged a $500 unauthorized pet fee and your rent will go up by $150 per month.

 

The state of Missouri requires no less than 30 days’ notice be given in writing to a landlord. We will accept emails and written notice that are dropped off at the office or mailed to the office. The 30-day period also must run with the rental pay period. So notice is due by the 1st day of the month you would like to move out at the end of if you give notice after the first the notice will go in for the end of the following month.

For example:

• Notice given on March 1st would be for an end-of-March move-out date.
• Notice given on March 2nd would be for an end-of-April move-out date.

Exceptions to this rule would be leases that call for a notice greater than 30 days and leases that end before the last day of the month.

For example:

• If your lease says the last day of the lease is July 30th, then notice on July 1st would be for a July 30th move-out date.
• If your lease requires a 60-day notice, then notice on April 1st would be for a May 31st move-out date.
