Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions:


At BK Management we strive to be completely honest and transparent with our tenants. This starts with hiring top notch leasing agents that are willing to help you through the entire leasing process and continue to do so for the duration of the time you stay with us. Our agents are very knowledgeable on our rentals, but to ensure you have all the information you need before signing a lease, we put together a list of frequently asked questions to help guide you to finding the best fit. 


1. What is the cost to move in? 
  •  We require an application fee, security deposit and first months rent. 
2. What utilities am I responsible for and do I need to take care of the lawn?
  •  This is different for every property. Your agent will be able to answer specifics for you.
3. When is rent due? 
  • Typically rent is due the first of the month. Please refer to the lease you are signing for any variation.
4. Are there any parking restrictions?
  •  At most of our apartment complexes, yes. Please ask your agent to avoid possible towing.
5. Will I receive my deposit back at the end of my lease?
  • Security deposits are held to pay for any damages that are found after move out. We compare the condition to what it was when you moved in and go from there. 
6. What is your late rent policy? 
  •  Typically your lease will specify a grace period, however all rentals are different. 
7. How can I pay rent?
  • We have an easy (free) system to pay online. However you are able to make payment with cash, check or money order as well. We also work with Casey’s and CVS, so you can take your payment there if that is easiest for you.
8. Will I get the first option to renew?
  • In most cases, yes. We reach out to our tenants at least 60 days prior to the lease expiration to see what your renewal plans are.
9. Is there an application I need to fill out?
  • Yes, all of our tenants are required to pass a background check. 
10. How is maintenance handled?
  • We do have our own maintenance staff for our properties. All maintenance requests can be put in easily through your online portal and will be sent directly to our employees to schedule in to the day according to priority. 
11. Do you allow pets?
  • Unless you have an ESA or Service Animal, pets are not allowed at our rentals. 
12. When is the best time to look for a rental on campus?
  • We start our campus leasing a year in advance. If you want a specific house/location, we recommend searching in September so you have plenty to choose from.
13. How many roommates can I have?
  • Some of our local ordinances require limits on persons per household. Please ask your agent for further details.
14. Can you hold a property for me?
  • Our properties are rented on a fist come/first served basis. The only way to secure a property is to have an approved application, signed lease and deposit put down. 
15. How long is the lease term?
  • Most of our leases are 12 months. See your specific lease for details that pertain to the property you are interested in.

How To Prepare Your House For Showings
By info 11 May, 2021
Getting ready to move? We totally understand that showing your unit to prospective tenants can be an inconvenience. We want to provide you with some ways that can help speed up the process so hopefully we do not have to show it as many times! When signing a lease with us, you agree to giving us a notice if you plan to renew or not. In the case that you decide you aren’t staying, your unit gets listed on our website immediately for future renters to see and showings will commence. If we are showing a unit that is well taken care of and inviting, prospects are more willing to rent that because it feels like home. On the contrary, if we are taking them into a messy unit with less than happy tenants meeting us at the door, this usually turns them away immediately which means we will have to show it more often to get it leased. Below is a list of things you can do to help us get your unit rented: All clutter is picked up Garbage is taken out Floors are swept, mopped, vacuumed, etc. Dishes are done and put away Bathrooms are in sanitary condition Bedrooms are picked up Laundry piles are put away All outside areas are cleaned up and yard is taken care of We enjoy our tenants and hope that you stay with us, however we do understand that circumstances do change and we would like to make the transition as smooth and possible!
