  1. What will you do to prepare my apartment before I move in?
Prior to move-in, each apartment undergoes a full maintenance inspection, and any necessary repairs are completed to ensure the unit is in excellent condition.
In addition, every apartment is professionally cleaned, including carpet cleaning, to provide a fresh and move-in-ready home for our residents.
 
  1. Do you have on-site maintenance?
Yes. We have an onsite Maintenance Supervisor who manages apartment maintenance, repairs, and service requests quickly and professionally. Our team also performs routine inspections and preventative maintenance to keep the community, amenities, and resident spaces in excellent condition.
 
  1. An item in my home needs repair. How do I get help?
If something in your apartment needs repair, submit a maintenance request through your resident portal with details about the issue. This helps our onsite maintenance team respond quickly and handle repairs efficiently. Submitting a service request also allows our team to enter your apartment, if needed, to complete the work while you are away.
 
  1. What happens if I am locked out?
If you are locked out of your apartment, our leasing office can assist during business hours. After hours, you can request help through emergency maintenance, and a $250 lockout fee will apply.

Parking is available at The Lark, including assigned surface parking and underground garage parking. Both options are offered for a monthly fee, providing convenient and secure parking for residents.
