Parking
If you will have a car at Campus View, you must purchase a parking pass at the office, $50 for the entire year. Parking passes must be purchased by September 1. After September 1, passes cost $100 and your car could be towed. Guests must have a visitor parking permit between 8am and 5pm weekdays (M-F). These are available FREE at the office during our office hours.
Tenant Check-in
This is very important - you must complete your damage assessment form no more than one week after move-in. The damage assessment sheet is available online, here. Be sure to note all stains, marks, and other imperfections in your unit.
If the check-in sheet is not received within one week any such problems will be deemed to have occurred during your tenancy and charges will apply.
