  • Broken or malfunctioning microwave, dishwasher, or washer/dryer
What if I know I will be Late to Pay Rent?

Residents who need an extension on rent payment are granted 1 extension during their tenancy without penalty AS LONG AS the resident contacts management BEFORE the 1st of the month to request the extension.   All future extensions will include a late fee.   

If you will be late a 2nd time, you cannot avoid the late fee, however, by notifying management before the 5th of the date you will pay, you CAN AVOID the additional Notice Fee.

How do I Add / Remove a Roommate?

Incoming Roommate needs to complete an application like all other Residents. Once approved, your Resident Coordinator will prepare a Roommate Addendum which all current Residents will need to sign off.

There is a 1 time $200 Administrative Fee for a Roommate Change.

How do I Add / Remove a Pet?

Please always keep us informed about changes to pet status!  This is especially important so the Maintenance Team is aware of pets in your home when performing work orders. 

If you had a pet when you moved in and no longer have the pet, please let your Resident Coordinator know! They will remove your pet rent fee. 

If you'd like to Add a Pet,  we need to first check the pet policy.  Pet Policy varies by property, so you will need to reference your Lease.  Or, submit a request & we'll be happy to double check the Pet Policy at your Building. 

Most properties include a Pet Rent rather than additional security deposit, so just let us know & we'll add the pet to your account! 

Can you Kick Out My Roommate?
No. Sagareus does not get involved in disputes among roommates, including current or previous significant others.  All residents on the lease are responsible for the full amount of rent, regardless of what disputes are going on internally.
