“Ask the Rental Professional #7”

In the this edition of Ask the Rental Professional, Minot Regional Apartment Manager Justin Hammer answers apartment rental questions from the Minot Daily News.

Q: Does IRET mange all their own rental properties? Does each unit have an on-site manager?

A: Here in Minot, ND, and throughout the rest of the Midwest, we at IRET Properties take great pride in managing our own apartment communities. We have over 600 apartments in Minot alone, ranging from efficiencies to 3 Bedrooms, with varying rental rates that meet a wide range of budgets. We manage all of our Minot apartments in-house, from our central leasing office in the IRET Corporate Plaza, but at many of our other apartment communities, our management staff works on-site at each complex.

Managing the apartment communities we own means we’re able to provide the professional service you deserve from lease signing to move out—and everything in between; service like our 24-hour Emergency Maintenance means, no matter the time of day, if you have a pressing maintenance issue, one of our professional staff will be there to help.

Managing our own properties isn’t easy, but it means we understand that your place is more than just an apartment. It’s your home.

IRET Properties — this is home.

If you are changing banks, open a new bank account in the community you are moving to. Do not close your existing bank account until all of your outstanding checks have cleared and any auto-payments have been updated with your new account information—including any payments for rent.
