What methods of payment do you accept?
– You may pay your rent with a personal check or money order. We do not accept credit cards or cash.
When is rent due?
– All rents are due and payable on the 1st of each month and is considered late after the 3rd of the month. You may bring your rent to us in person, mail, or drop your rent off at the after-hours drop location.
Do I need renter’s insurance?
– This is a personal preference. Renter’s insurance is affordable and will provide you with an extra sense of security. Residents or guest’s personal property and vehicles are not insured under the apartment lease agreement. We strongly recommend that residents purchase insurance against loss or damage due to fire, flood, theft, vandalism, rain, water, or criminal negligent acts of others or any other cause.

What is considered an after-hours emergency?
– Please contact our emergency message line for electrical failure, fire, and serious water leaks, or there is any other condition that affects life, or safety or is necessary to preserve the condition of the apartment.
– Air conditioning problems can only be handled during daylight hours and during the business week.
– An electrical outage may be considered an emergency ONLY if there is no electricity throughout the unit. Make sure you have checked all circuit breakers by flipping them hard to the OFF position and then hard to the ON position.
– What if my toilet is stopped up?
Please make every effort, including plunging, to clear the stoppage yourself. In any case, turn off the valve behind the toilet, shut the lid, and clean up any mess. Due to health issues, Angele Apartments representatives will generally not begin work until the area is cleaned up and essentially free of bacterial contaminants.
