Please notify us 10 days in advance of your planned move out date. When you're finished with the space, all we ask is that it's completely empty and you return both keys, so you won't be charged further rent.

There are two reasons: you did not return your keys when you moved out, or your space is still occupied with some of your belongings. If you believe there is an error in your billing, please contact us by phone at (815) 633-2333.

Any items left in your space are your responsibility. We will continue to charge you rent until your space is empty and the keys are returned.

Our Auto Pay option is the easiest way. No more check writing. No more postage. No late fees. Payments are on time, every time. Call the office to set up automatic credit or debit payments.

Rent is payable without deduction, demand or billing statement. Rent is payable only in United States dollars. There is no refund on merchandise.
