Complete Move-In Guide

🏘️ Welcome!

You need to go through this entire page to receive keys.

Most questions are answered here, or search our site.

Thanks for your patience if you contact us - it’s busy! Leave a voicemail if it’s urgent.

This checklist should take 20-30 minutes. Links open in new tabs.

Let’s go!

💵 PAYMENTS

Before your lease starts, you need to pay three charges:

SECURITY DEPOSIT

FIRST MONTH’S RENT

FINAL MONTH’S RENT

Deposit & Final-Month’s-Rent info / due-dates / FAQ here

Even if you’ve paid, please check the total unit balance (shown on the app).

We can’t give out keys if any roommate is behind.

please note:

  • Credit Card payments cost 3% extra.

  • Bank Accounts / Checks do not charge this fee.

  • The app shows your total unit (shared) balance.

  • Balances shown in parentheses are credit (overpaid) balances.

📄 Move-in Inspection

You’ll receive a paper inspection form/checklist with keys when you move in.

If it’s been misplaced, download it here: ⤵️

📥 MOVE-IN INSPECTION FORM

You are required to fill this out within 7 days of moving in, and return it (signed and dated) to the 929 N 17th St drop-box.

⚠️ Any flaws / issues not detailed on this inspection form will be deducted from the deposit when you move out.

🔑 KEYS

Pick up keys June 1ˢᵗ, 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM from:

929 N 17th St Office

Milwaukee, WI 53233

(buzz the office when you arrive)

  • Set up an office appointment with the following link.

    *** No sooner than 6/1 ***

    …unless an early move-in was already approved by MGMT.

    (new requests are closed)

    Click Here to Schedule Nonstandard Key Pickup (any day besides 6/1)

    If that link doesn’t work, email us with a different date / time.

  • If you had an appointment, or you’re here on 6/1 and office staff aren’t responsive to the 929 N 17th St buzzer after 2 minutes…

    Please text “Keys needed for [apartment address / unit number]” to Carlito - (414) 750-2957.

    If there’s no response from either for 5+ minutes, leave a voicemail at the office number (414) 367-9414.

    And a further backup at 262-719-7534.

We encourage you to pick up keys for your roommates if possible.

Keys will be distributed when:

🔹 The Lease and other agreements are signed by everyone.

🔹 An ID card is shown for at least one tenant.

🔹 All outstanding charges are paid, including:

🔸 Security Deposit

🔸 First Month Rent

🔸 Final Month Rent

(Plus any charges from prior leases with us)

NO PAYMENT / NO ID = NO KEYS

✅ FINAL STEPS

(set a reminder to re-visit thESE on move-in day!)

REQUIRED:

  • ⭐ CLICK TO SET UP ELECTRICAL SERVICE 🔌

    ⚠️ This is required on DAY ONE OF YOUR SIGNED LEASE TERM

    • Even if you’ll live here full-time later.

      • If that’s the case, your summer bills will be cheap.

  • If you have an early move-in, set it up for that day.

  • Otherwise, you’ll back-pay it all, plus $50/month of unpaid utilities.


  • ⭐ Inspect Apartment / Take Photos 📄

    …of any pre-existing flaws, and save them / email them to us. This could save you from security deposit deductions!

  • Fill out the move-in inspection sheet to make sure you get your full deposit back. Return it to the 929 N 17th St drop-box.

    • (You’ll get this inspection sheet with keys)


  • ⭐ Maintenance 🛠️

    Text Carlito (DOWNLOAD CONTACT HERE) for maintenance / repairs if needed.

    • Always include your unit # / address, name, and photos of maintenance issues.

    • Start the text / email with *URGENT* for leaking pipes, fire hazards, power outages, etc. - esp. during the 1st week.

    • Wait 2-3 weeks after move-in to inform us about minor issues so we can serve those with more pressing needs first.

      • Please wait a day or two after requests, then email to follow up with Grant if the work isn’t done yet. Thanks for your patience during this very busy time.

    • See the FAQ page for more on wall-mounting and maintenance.

RECOMMENDED:

  • Safety Check ⚠️

Familiarize yourself with the location of fire extinguishers, alarm pull stations, & exit routes.

  • Test smoke alarms and inform us if any are broken, out of batteries, or nonexistent.

    • (We do this before you move in; it’s a good thing for you to check monthly as well).

  • Payment Splitting / Tracking 💳

    • Campus MGMT only considers your total, collective unit balance, not individual balances.

      • This is the balance shown on the app/portal.

    • To keep your individual payments straight, we recommend:

      • Tracking your payments.

        • (We can provide a complete unit ledger at any time, but not individual payment records).

      • Signing an internal rent-split agreement to clarify your individual responsibilities within the group.

  • Get Renter’s Insurance 🏙️

    This highly-recommended step protects your belongings in the event of accidents, natural disasters, theft, or negligence of other tenants.

    • You can get a policy through our resident app/portal (not sponsored; it’s just easy to set up)

    • Or from a 3rd party like Lemonade, your current insurance provider, or anyone you choose.

  • Start Rent Reporting 📈

    You can build your credit score with on-time rent payments, through the app.

    • It’s a fully optional add-on feature called “Rent Reporting” in the app menu.

  • (Edge / 911 17th / Kensington Tenants Only) 🚪

  • Click the “transferring” button on this page.

  • If Campus MGMT already confirmed that you have a spot:

    1) Make sure you’ve signed the Parking Agreement

    2) Request a pass (and opener, if in a garage) when you pick up keys.

    …

    If you’d like parking, please see this page and apply.

    Spots might already be full!

We receive extremely high text / email volumes this time of year and may take longer to respond.

Contact us with questions.

Leave a voicemail if it’s urgent; please try to limit requests until mid-June.

Thank you; welcome home!
