Renewal Season Is Here!

Amanda Royse • February 2, 2021

Renewal Season is Here!

Spring is a busy time here at Royse + Brinkmeyer, it's renewal season! We love our residents and want to make sure that you get as many opportunities as possible to claim your apartment before we start marketing it to new renters. Last week we sent out notifications that renewal offers had been uploaded to everyone's Resident Portal. We're really excited to see whether our residents are going to renew, so we decided to add an extra incentive to renewing early. Over the next month and a half, we are giving SIX residents

ONE MONTH OF FREE RENT!

The earlier you submit your renewal, the more chances you have to win:

3 winners will be drawn on February 15th
2 winners will be drawn on March 1st
1 winner will be drawn on March 15th

What to Expect

Over the next few weeks, our staff will be working to get in touch with every resident and talk over renewal offers.

Starting this week we will visit each resident personally to answer any questions you might have regarding the online renewal process and your offer.

After that, we'll continue to reach out via phone, email, or both to check in. We don't want anyone to miss out on renewing their lease, so this may happen more than once.

How to Renew Online

Step 1- Accept Your Renewal Offer

Log into your Resident Portal. Once in your portal, you will see a red banner that reads: "You have a Lease Renewal Offer!" with two clickable links: "Review Offer"; and "Remind Me Later".

You may do either of the following:

Click the "Review Offer" link, and follow the prompts to accept your offer.
Click the "Remind Me Later" link, which will remove the red banner from your dashboard. You will still be able to access the offer by clicking on the "It's time to Renew" link under your Priority Alerts.

You have until 10:00 a.m. on March 15, 2021, to renew your lease. If your renewal is not completed by that time, your apartment could be rented.

Step 2- Sign Your Renewal Agreement

Once you have accepted your Renewal Offer, your Lease Renewal Agreement will be available for your digital signature within 72 hours. You will be notified via email when it is ready to be signed.

To digitally sign your renewal, you will do the following:

Log into your Resident Portal. Under the Priority Alerts Menu, click "Your Lease Is Ready" and follow the prompts. At this time, you will see clickable orange buttons. Click these buttons and follow the prompts to complete the process for the following:

Lease Agreement
Garage/Parking Renewal (This will only appear if you rent a garage, parking space, or carport)

Once the documents are signed, you will be prompted to exit the lease.

Note: If you have multiple persons on your lease or a co-signer, they must also sign the Lease Renewal Agreement to secure your apartment for another year.

ALL APARTMENTS THAT ARE NOT RENEWED BY 10:00 A.M. ON MARCH 15, 2021 WILL BE PLACED ON THE MARKET FOR RENT.

Maximize Your Space!

By Taylor King • July 7, 2023

Having a small space does not mean you have to feel cramped. Just follow these tips to make your space feel more open and spacious no matter how much square footage you have. TRASH IT OR CHERISH IT. First, take some time to declutter your apartment and organize what you already have. You cannot create more space in your apartment unless you make that space by getting rid of some items. That pile of books in your corner that you have not even flipped through, maybe it’s time to let them go. LET’S GET ORGANIZED. After you have downsized your belongings, it is time to get organized! If everything has a place to go then there will not be a giant monster of overflow invading your living space. If you are in a smaller space, you can utilize dividers in drawers, curio cabinets, or even boxes and bins. Vacuum storage bags are also a great trick for hidable storage – they take up less space, protect your items, and can be stored under your bed. Bookshelves can hold pretty much everything; wire racks in the kitchen can free up cabinet space from kitchen utensils; and utilizing your walls not only for shelves but also to display some of your favorite items as well are great ways to both personalize your space and keep it organized! Furniture pieces can serve way more than just one purpose! Try out a coffee table with plenty of drawers, an ottoman with a removable top, or even a bedframe with hidden storage. Get as creative with your organization as you would with decorating your space! USE AN ILLUSION You can trick the eye into thinking you have a bigger space using bright colors and wall art. Light colors on the walls reflect light and create an illusion of a bigger space. Luckily, Royse + Brinkmeyer always sticks to a neutral palette, a nice cream color. However, that does not mean you have to have boring plain walls. Utilizing tapestries or artwork in uniform colors is a wonderful way to spice up your walls without making your space feel small. Another trick that can create depth, reflect light, and brighten up a room is utilizing mirrors on your walls. We hope these tips can help you make your space, no matter how small, feel a little bit more spacious and welcoming. Make sure to let your creativity flourish and have fun!
