Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to my security deposit?
Your security deposit earns interest a current rate of 3% and is returned to the contact person for your group 21 days after the expiration of the lease. If you choose to renew your lease, the security deposit may carry over to the subsequent lease period.
How is move in day handled?
Move in day is June 1 1:00 p.m. or any scheduled day thereafter, excluding weekends. A detailed move in procedure letter is emailed to the contact person for your house the first week of May outlining utility and move in day information. If your contact person is not able to pick up keys on June 1, any other roommate will be able to pick up all the entrance keys to the house.
How are repairs made?
Repairs are requested through the contact person designated for your group. The contact person emails the property manager outlining the repair that needs to be done. The property manager responds to the email with a date that the repair will be made.
Who pays for the repairs?
The management company pays for the repair. However, if a tenant or a guest of the tenant breaks something, the repair is reported to management to schedule the repair. The cost of the repair is the responsibility of the tenant and will be billed to the tenant.
What do I do in case of an emergency?
If the repair is an emergency, any person on the lease calls the property manager (218.343.2473) or 911 if appropriate.
When is the first rent payment due?
The first rent payment is due by June 1. Please only one check per house. Mail the payment to: Galt Speak, 918 12th Avenue, Suite 1000, Honolulu, Hawaii 96816
