GENERAL FAQ


  • What apartments are available?

    No. Your security deposit is used to cover any damages that may have happened during your tenancy. It cannot be used for your final rent payment.

    You may pay with a credit or debit card through your online portal. Credit card transactions are not available in the offices.

    Most properties require a monthly income of no less than 3 times the monthly rent for the unit although this does very. Please talk to your property’s leasing agent about the income requirement at your property.

  • Where can I get an application?

    You can download an application form by visiting our Application Forms page.

    All evictions must have been closed for 10 years or 120 months.

  • If my situation changes, can I get out of my lease?

    Coachlight Communities LLC offers two options for tenants who need to opt out of their lease due to unforeseeable circumstances. You can find a person to rent your apartment (application process required), or you can "buy out" of your lease. For more details, please contact your leasing office to discuss your options.

    Your leasing office will contact you a minimum of 70 days prior to the expiration of your lease, giving you the option to extend your lease further with Coachlight Communities.

    Whatever is available in your community.

    You may not make any alteration to the unit, including painting, installing any appliances, changing locks or other equipment of any kind without prior consent from your leasing office.

  • When does the landlord have legal right to enter my apartment?

    We will always provide you with a 12 Hour Notice before entering your apartment unless there is an emergency.

  • Do you offer flexible leasing terms?

    All new move-ins sign a initial 12 month lease. However, we offer Month To Month leases after the initial lease term is over for $50/month.

    With all Month to Month leases, there is a moratorium (no move-out) period from October 1st through February 28th.

  • I'm planning to move out at the end of my lease. Do I still have to give you written notice, even though my lease has an expiration date?
