Frequently Asked Questions

What type of parking is available at your building?

Many of PMG 's housing solutions offer parking, but not all buildings do. Contact a PMG leasing agent for building-specific parking details.

What is "by the bed" leasing?

By the bed leasing, or individual leasing, is a type of lease contract in which each roommate is only responsible for the rent for his/her bedroom. Tenants with individual leases are individually accountable for rent and/or damage to their bedroom. Tenants have the freedom of selecting their own roommates to fill out larger apartments, or have the option of enrolling in their Roommate Matching Program.

How do I receive mail and packages?

Resident mail is processed and delivered by USPS personnel to your designated unit mailbox. At time of move-in, the PMG staff will issue a mailbox key to each resident for ease of access. Upon move-out, should you wish to have your mail forwarded, you will need to complete a Change of Address Form with the local post office (the community office often has these handy). The PMG staff will accept packages and they can be retrieved during business hours with proper ID.

What furniture is provided?

PMG does offer some fully furnished apartments. The type of furnishings provided varies from apartment to apartment. For a complete list of furnishing in your apartment, please see your Lease under the "Furnishings Section."

What if I need Maintenance in my bedroom or apartment?

Non-emergency service requests can be submitted in any of the following ways: 1) reporting a maintenance request in person to one of their leasing staff during their hours of operation; 2) contacting the leasing office by phone during business hours (or by leaving a message on their afterhours voicemail); or, 3) submitting a request online at www.roland-realty.com/. Their goal is to respond to work orders within 48 hours! In an emergency situation, contact the PMG leasing office by phone to report your request directly to a staff member. For emergencies occurring outside their hours of operation, you may leave a message with their 24 hour emergency answering service anytime of the day or night by calling their office line and directing yourself to the emergency prompt. Examples of emergency situations: water leaks, single inoperable toilet, power outages, non-functioning heat or A/C during weather extremes, non-functioning refrigerator, gas leaks, or fire.

What if I need to break my lease or don't return for the spring or summer semesters?

Unfortunately, PMG does not offer any voluntarily means of breaking or prematurely terminating a lease agreement once it's been signed. A tenant's best course of action in this situation is to find a suitable replacement tenant, or subtenant, to take their place during any duration of the lease for which they no longer have the need. Tenants can contact the PMG leasing office for details about the subleasing process and/or information about how Roland can facilitate in the subleasing process.

Is there insurance coverage in the event of a fire, theft or natural causes? Does my lease provide coverage for my belongings?

Residents or guest's personal property and vehicles are not insured under the apartment lease agreement unless due to management negligence. They strongly recommend that residents purchase insurance against loss or damage due to fire, theft, vandalism, rain, water, criminal negligence, etc. Renter's insurance is relatively inexpensive (typically less than $20/month) and can often be secured through your automobile insurance carrier (first check your parent's home-owner's policy).

Why do I have to pay rent before I move in?

Their payment schedule is on a 12 month basis. They do not pro-rate their rents. The payments will always be the same. they do this because there is one lump sum that the owners of each building would like to receive annually in rent. To make things as easy as possible for all parties they divide this lump sum into 12 equal payments. For those of you on an August to August lease you will make 12 equal payments, with the first being August 1st and the last being July 1st. Then, for those of you on June to June lease you will also make 12 equal payments, with the first being June 1st and the last being May 1st.

Can I pay my rent online?

Yes. Tenants can access their apartment accounts online by visiting PMG 's webpage at website and clicking "Pay Rent" at the top of the page. This link will direct you to their payment portal, where tenants can access their accounts 24 hours a day by entering their birthdate. There are a variety of payment options, each with its own transaction charges, so please review these carefully and choose the option that's best for you.

What type of security is offered?

PMG is committed to ensuring the health and safety of all their tenants. However, crime has no address and at all times, you must take an active role in securing your home, property, and most importantly, yourself. PMG makes no representations or warranties that the premises are secure from theft or any other criminal activity perpetrated by any resident or others. Security officers, to the extent that they may be on the premises, and other security facilities provided, are primarily for protection of property. PMG can not guarantee the effectiveness of any such security officers or facilities as a deterrent against any criminal activity, damage, or injury to resident or any guest/visitor and their personal property.
