and keep your costs as low as possible! What we do require is

and $125 for each additional unit occupant. This fee only applies
to adults that will be occupying the unit and does not apply for
children.
WHO DO I CALL REGARDING MAINTENANCE REPAIRS OR OTHER PROBLEMS?

move in. If, however, your apartment requires repair, we will work urgently

USE OF ELEVATOR :
Must be reserved and is on a first-come,
first-served basis. The elevator must be covered with protective covers provided
by management and any damage caused to the elevator during your move-in or
move-out is the responsibility of the tenant using the elevator. Please notify
management of any elevator damage that you notice prior to your use of the
elevator. There is no fee for your move-in or move-out.
DO I NEED MY OWN INSURANCE AS A RENTER?
Yes! Everyone should get renter's insurance and, in fact, it is a requirement
of the lease for your apartment. Your belongings are not covered by the building's
insurance policy, and not only is renter's insurance fairly inexpensive,
it will provide peace of mind that is priceless.
For further information and a quote, you can contact Kathy at The Rockwood
Group at (312) 621-2509 or Michael Rice of the Thomas Ward Insurance Group
at (312)254-1500 . Either will be happy to assist you.
HOW MUCH CAN I AFFORD TO SPEND ON RENT?
In Chicago, the general rule of thumb is 30% of your gross income for tenant-heated
apartments. While different landlords use different guidelines for qualifying
prospective residents, this is the figure that 2620 Washington LLC uses to
help determine the amount of rent that you should be able to afford.
For instance:
If you earn $45,000/year
$45,000 x 30% = $13,500
You can afford: $13,500 / 12 = $1,125/month
CAN I HAVE A DOG OR A CAT IN THE RENTAL UNITS?
Yes and Yes. As fellow pet owners, we know how coming home to a loving dog
or cat is one of the best feelings in the world.
You are absolutely welcome to have either a dog or a cat in your rental unit,
but we do not allow exotic animals, monkeys, or snakes, etc. There is a limit
of two (2) animals allowed per rental unit.
If you would like to have a dog or a cat, there is a non-refundable pet fee
that must be paid either prior to your moving in, or prior to your purchasing
your animal. DOG OWNERS MUST PICK-UP THEIR DOG’S WASTE ON THE ROOF AND
ON THE GRASS to maintain a clean healthy environment. The non-refundable pet
fees are as follows:
|
Cats - $150.00 one-time fee, if front paws
are de-clawed,
$250.00 if not de-clawed. |
|
Dogs up to 30 pounds - $295.00 fee |
|
Dogs 31 to 49 pounds - $395.00 fee. |
|
Dogs 50 to 75 pounds - $495.00 fee.
Must have management
approval and be a “mellow” dog. |
|
No dogs over 75 pounds allowed unless approved by management. |
Further, we ask that you comply to either spay or neuter your animal. WE LOVE
DOGS, but living in a community you must be considerate of other residents.
When your pet is outside of your unit, they MUST BE ON A LEASH or in a Carry
Case. Dogs must not be excessive barkers that disturb other tenants. Lessee
is responsible for any pet damages to the unit or building. All vaccinations
must be current, and your failure to report your ownership & comply with
building rules of either a cat or a dog can be grounds for eviction.
ROOF-TOP DOG RUN AMENITY:
We are pleased to offer this amenity
as a courtesy to our tenants. However, we do request that you respect the rules
of the Dog Run which is there for the enjoyment and convenience of all of the
building's residents. You must clean up after your own animal and dispose of
all waste in the provided receptacle. Failure to follow the rules for the roof
top Dog Run can result in fines and/or management's decision to bar your continued
use of the amenity.
PAYING RENT:
Rent is due on the first of the month. If
we receive your rent after the fifth of the month, a late fee will be assessed. However,
if you notify us in advance that your rent will be paid after the fifth, management
will consider waiving the late fee. Management reserves the sole right to apply
any and all late fees owed.
Rent is payable to 2620 Washington, LLC C/O Kass Management. Their address
is 2000 North Racine #4440 Chicago, Il 60614 . If you arrive to pay your
rent after hours, please use the drop box for the payment of your rent.
