Renter's Insurance:

DON'T FORGET - RENTER'S INSURANCE IS REQUIRED! Damage caused by a resident is usually the financial responsibility of that resident, not the property owner. To fulfill lease obligations and to protect liability risks, residents are required to provide evidence of liability or property damage insurance at a minimum limit of $100,000. Residents may choose the insurance company and policy limits that are most appropriate for each situation, providing the minimum limit is satisfied. Please inform the insurance provider to have Alpha Mill listed on the policy as an "additional insured" or "interested party".

For the convenience of residents that do not have a specific insurance agent identified, we have arranged for a convenient, affordable insurance option for this community. First American Property & Casualty Insurance Company has made available Renters Insurance Select, an insurance program developed for multifamily residents. There is no application, no credit check and acceptance is guaranteed for residents of this community!

The Lease - It's Official

Many find moving day less hectic if the lease/paperwork is completed prior to your move-in date. This will allow you time to review and be clear on all the material before you move in. Just call the office at 704-817-2051 , arrange to have your lease prepared, and we'll have it ready for your signature in advance of your move.

Moving Tips...

• Contact a moving company or reserve a moving truck (allow 2-4 weeks' notice in the summer).
• Consider holding a garage sale, or selling your unnecessary items online so others can reuse them.
• Find boxes to reuse in your area by visiting websites like www.boxquest.com.
• Label boxes; list/inventory all boxes and keep a copy in a safe place.
• Use smaller boxes for heavier objects (i.e., books, computers).
• Cut back on the bubble wrap. Use old newspapers for non-fragile items and utilize the sheets or towels that you're going pack anyway.
• Look for environmentally-friendly cleaning products to clean up your old place.

Moving Day...

• Schedule and confirm a planned starting time with those who are moving you.
• Assign someone to check-off boxes as they are delivered.
• Prepare a simple meal ahead of time or have extra money to eat out/order in.
