How each benefit works

How can I pay rent without fees?

All online ACH payments through The Joseph Group are free. You can also pay by check or in person. For cash or money order, pay at any RentMoney participating retailer, such as Walmart. Walmart may charge its own service fee, but payments are time-stamped and posted to your ledger within 24 hours.

What can I do in the Resident Portal?

  • Pay rent online, including automatic ACH payments
  • Submit and track maintenance requests
  • View electronic statements, your lease and community policies

Does paying rent on time build my credit?

Yes. The Joseph Group reports on-time rent payments to TransUnion at no extra cost for the full term of your lease.

Can I reach maintenance after hours?

Yes. Our 24/7 maintenance hotline connects you with a live person for after-hours emergencies.

What if I pay late or a payment is returned?

The Joseph Group will waive one late fee and one returned ACH or check (NSF) fee during your lease.

How does the Utility & Maintenance Reduction Program work?

HVAC filters: We deliver new HVAC filters every 180 days. Residents must install each filter within two days of delivery. Filters are dated and may be inspected with reasonable notice. If you can't install a filter on time, notify us in writing right away. Failure to replace filters is a breach of the lease, and residents are liable for resulting damage to the property or HVAC system.

Small repairs under $125: For minor maintenance items that would normally be the resident's responsibility, The Joseph Group covers repairs under $125. Submit a request, reference the Maintenance Reduction Program, and we'll send a vendor of our choosing.

How does move-in work?

Move in on your own schedule. A lockbox is available on your lease start date, and we complete a detailed move-in condition report before you arrive.

Are there upfront move-in or lease preparation fees?

No. Many property managers charge $300–$500 upfront for lease preparation and credit-risk mitigation. The Joseph Group builds these costs into the Resident Benefits Package and spreads them across your lease term, so moving in costs less.

What is the Moving Concierge Program?

Our third-party moving concierge sets up utilities, internet, cable and alarm services with one phone call, so you don't have to contact each provider separately. Providers like ADT, Comcast and AT&T often offer new-customer promotions through the program.

Is renters insurance required?

Tenant liability insurance is required. Residents must carry at least $100,000 in property damage liability coverage protecting the landlord's property against fire, smoke, explosion, accidental water discharge and sewer backup.

You're automatically enrolled in The Joseph Group's master tenant liability policy unless you opt out.

How do I opt out?

Submit proof of your own policy through the Tenant Liability Insurance opt-out form. You'll need to show:

  1. Your policy is active, with start/end dates and the named insured
  2. The Joseph Group is listed as an "Additional Interest" party
  3. Tenant liability coverage of at least $100,000

If your own policy lapses after lease signing, you'll be re-enrolled in the master policy at $9/month.

Important: This policy covers damage to the landlord's property only. It does not cover your personal belongings and does not replace a personal renters insurance policy.
