For more information, please visit Nationwide Renters Insurance website or call our local agency at 336-229-0229.

Question 8

How do I set up utililties?

Accepted Answer

You are responsible for contacting the utility companies to have the utilities
transferred into your name or the name of one of your house mates. You will save time
and money*** if you contact the current renters and have the utilities changed over to your names the same day they are moving out. In order to do this, you will need to set up your account FIRST with the utility companies at least one week before you move in. To set up your accounts call:

1) Duke Energy (Electric): 800-777- 9898
2) Piedmont Natural Gas: 800-752-7504
3) Town of Elon (water, sewer & trash): 336-584–0282
4) Spectrum Cable (cable, internet, phone service): (855)243-8892 OR www.spectrum.com
5) City of Burlington Water Department 336-222-5100 (For tenants in houses in City of
Burlington)

***We require gas or electric to be kept on at all times. If you are not going to be using the house for a semester, you must request that we set your thermostat to 77° and cool in the summer months or 65° and warm in the winter months. Extreme heat or cold can be detrimental for the overall welfare of the house and appliances. If you fail to take precautions, you may be held responsible for any damages. Please make sure you make arrangements to transfer the utilities into your name before the current renters move out and/or turn off the utilities. Failure to do so could result in damage to appliances, mold growth, etc.

Question 10

How are the houses leased?

Accepted Answer

All of the houses are leased for a minimum of a year. For students, the leases typically start in June and expire in May (or shortly thereafter- it varies by property). The houses are cleaned in accordance with the lease expiration date. We do not clean between subletters. If you have arranged to have subletters for a portion of your leasing period, you are still responsible for the rent payments and we request you arrange to get or give door codes to your subletters.

Question 11

What about furniture?

Accepted Answer

If you are interested in speaking to the current residents regarding furniture, you may email our offices to request an email address for the current renters (several months or weeks in advance). We will contact the current renters to ask for their permission to share their contact information. If they approve, we will notify you of their approval and send the appropriate information.
 
Prior to your move in everything will be thrown out unless BOTH of the following items are done:

1) We have received a "FURNITURE INVENTORY"(https://www.ncrmanagement.com/furnitureinventory) form prior to May 10th from the INCOMING student. An email indicating "all items stay" is not acceptable and will result in the disposal of all items. You are responsible for coordinating lists of items that stay with your roommates.
 
2) ALL items that are staying need to be stacked in the center of the room with a sheet or plastic cover and an oversized sign indicating that those items are to be left for the new tenants. See below for examples:
ACCEPTABLE: Items neatly tucked under a sheet with a sign on top labelled "NEW RESIDENT." Items moved away from wall.

Disclaimer: Failure to do the items above will result in the disposal of all items; however, in any event, we are not responsible for damaged or missing items. Items left in your apartment/house before move in date are AT YOUR OWN RISK. We must receive a list, in writing, no later than May 10th in regards to ALL items that will be left in the house. Any excessive items left in drawers, closets, or other areas will be skipped over during the cleaning and repair process. Any damage from past residents that cannot be assessed due to furniture, wall decor, etc. will become the responsibility of the new students.

Question 12

What do I have to do for the house?

Accepted Answer

You are responsible for the general care of the house after you move in. This includes (but is not limited to) changing batteries in smoke detectors and thermostats, changing light bulbs, possibly changing air filters, using appliances/fixtures around the house as they were intended and in a safe manner, etc.

We take care of the lawn maintenance for you. This includes bush trimming, leaf pick-up, and grass cuttings.
 
Additionally, You NEED to adhere to the Town's trash policy or you WILL be charged.
 
1) Items outside the cans will not be picked up.
2) You will be fined for trash around the property as well.

Question 13

What is the policy on subleasing?

Accepted Answer

All renters should be aware that they are responsible for payments of the lease under all circumstances. This includes payments if you should choose to study abroad. You will be responsible for making the financial arrangements with the sub-leaser. You must have approval from the other roommates to bring in a sub-leaser. Outside arrangements should be made between the primary leaser and subleaser regarding payments- THIS MEANS YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING THE PAYMENTS EVEN IF YOU MAKE OUTSIDE ARRANGMENTS. We recommend our renters explore the idea of a written agreement between the leaser and the sub-leaser and collecting an additional security deposit.

We do not clean the houses or check for damages between subletters- as the houses are rented out yearly. Please make sure you make arrangements to transfer the utilities into your name before the subletters move out and/or turn off the utilities. Failure to do so could result in damage to appliances, mold growth in the refrigerator, etc.

Question 14

Any other suggestions?

Accepted Answer

If you are planning on renewing your lease, we must have signed leases before October 15th of the current school year and have the appropriate amount of people to fill the house. We give our current renters priority, but it is first-come, first-serve if the October 15th deadline passes. The houses/apartments do not come furnished but they do include window treatments. You will need to bring your own furniture, kitchenware, and even shower curtains.
