A few of our buildings, at the request of the owners, do not allow any pets. No dogs will be allowed under any circumstances. Please don't even ask abuot monkeys, leopards, llamas, or spotted owls. It's an inexpensive way to make sure that you are covered in the event that something bad happens to your apartment. If you are a student, you may wish to check with your parents' homeowners insurance agent before you buy renter's insurnace of your own-you may be covered under their policy.
All maintenance is handled directly through our office.
Unless you directly damaged your apartment by doing something silly like putting a fist through the wall, it's covered by your rent. Barr Real Estate employs at least six full-time maintenance people and two maintenance supervisors. We also contract out some maintenance work to help us ensure that the work is done as quickly and efficiently as possible. We accept personal checks, cashiers checks, travelers checks, or money orders. If more than one person is living in an apartment, we ask that all checks for one apartment be brought in at the same time.
