TENANT'S PAYMENT DEPOSIT, & LEASE FAQs

  • Where can I pay the rent?

    Please refer to your lease, but you can also make the payment through our online Tenants Portal.

  • When is my first month due?

    Your first month's rent is due before you move in.

  • What happens if I break my lease?

    A lease is a legal document making the lease holder responsible for the rent up until the end of the lease term.

  • What can legally be charged from my security deposit?

    (1) unpaid rent; (2) cleaning the rental unit after you vacate (but only to what it was before you moved in); (3) repairing damage caused by the tenant that goes beyond normal wear and tears; and (4) if provided in the lease, replacing keys, laundry cards, garage openers, etc. 


    Here is an online resource to review

  • How do we ensure a full deposit refund?

    To ensure full deposit, you should take care of the property and leave it in the same conditions you received it. The owner can deduct the cost of repairs that exceed the normal wear and tear. Examples: holes in the walls, broken windows, or leaving trash that they have to throw away. We normally do a move-out walk-thru prior to vacating so that tenants know what damage they may be charged for. During COVID-19 this can be done with social distance or virtually. Most owners will charge a cleaning fee for a professional company.

  • How long until I get my deposit back?

    You will get back your deposit in a maximum of 21 days.

  • Can I use my security deposit for my last month of rent?

    No. A tenant must not apply or deduct any part of the security deposit for the last month's rent.

  • Is renter's insurance required under my lease?

    Yes, renter's insurance is required. Please call our Leasing Team for more information at 323-882-6606

  • How long is the grace period for rent payments?

    We usually give you 3 to 5 days. But legally, there is no grace period. Please refer to your lease.

  • Can I sublease?

    No, you can't sublease. Subleasing is strictly not allowed.

TENANT'S  GENERAL & MAINTENANCE FAQs

  • I have a problem with my apartment. Who should I call?

    If you have a problem with the apartment, please call your assigned building manager or our office at (323) 882-6606.

  • What should I do in case of an emergency?

    If it is a life-threatening emergency please urgently call 911. If not, call the manager or management company at (323) 882-6606. Our after-hours emergency number is (310) 993-6103.

  • What happens if my roommate wants to go but I want to stay?

    You are both responsible until both move-out or until end of lease date.

  • Are pets allowed?

    In most of our buildings, yes pets are allowed. Kindly contact us for more information.

  • Is smoking allowed inside the property?

    No, smoking is not allowed inside the property.

  • I want to move out. What are the steps to follow?

    If you are not on a lease, you can give us a 30-day notice.

  • What can I do about my noisy neighbors?

    The best action is to document the behavior by doing the following: write down the type of noise, the date and the time, every time it happens. If you document the behavior in your AppFolio portal (Tenants Portal), it will be conveniently retained in your tenant record for you. For further action, please inform the onsite manager or management and follow the instructions of the LAPD.

  • I have a problem in my apartment, but am hesitant to tell my manager about it. What should I do?

    At SKY Properties, we encourage creating a community environment. What you may think is a minor issue or something you are only slightly burdened by, we want to know about it. No matter how small it may seem to you, we want to encourage you to speak openly and freely about it. Sometimes a small thing can have a much larger impact on your community. Inform your manager or call the SKY Properties office directly at (323) 882-6606

  • My sink/toilet is clogged, do I have to pay for it to be cleared by the plumber?

    Yes, you should pay for the plumber to unclog the sink or toilet if you caused the problem. For example, it is the tenant's responsibility for excessive hair, food, or foreign objects that caused the clog.

  • What do I do when my light bulb is burnt out?

    Light bulbs are considered consumables and are the responsibility of the tenant to change them.

  • What if I think I hear running water in the walls or floor?

    That can be a sign of a potential flood. Call the manager immediately. If you cannot reach the manager, call the local fire department.

Are you moving out?

“The maintenance worker, Jose, was awesome in all that he needed to do. There was also a follow -up phone call regarding the replacement of these smoke detectors from Roshelle and I found this fine young lady to be most helpful.”

“Michelle is really helpful throughout my application process, I never have to wait too long for responses and she contacts me regularly to keep me updated on everything.”

“I worked with Michelle when looking for my apartment - she was incredibly helpful but also very honest and knowledgeable of the various areas in LA, which was esp. important for me as I was doing a cross-country move. Doing a large move like that was a huge stressor, but landing my apartment with Sky was the most seamless part.”

Jackson M.

“They recently changed their staff and if I may do so, they’re soooo much more responsive and on top of thing. Roshelle got back to me very quickly and took care of everything without any issues! Very pleased with the service!”.

I recently moved into the Monte Vista Apartment homes managed by SKY Properties and can say that I am 100% pleased. The building is always clean, quiet and the leasing manager Jean is prompt with her responses whenever I have the need to contact her. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

Since Sky Properties took over management of the building I live in things have been great. Angel, in particular, is so great at addressing issues in a timely fashion. Such a nice guy. He always checks in to make sure things are taken care of quickly and well. Recently we had an issue with our sink and he resolved it in 15 minutes. He always follows up also to make sure things are okay.

SKY Properties has been managing our apartment building in Beverly Hills for about six months now. It was the best change the property owner could have made because the last management company was a joke. I have found SKY to be highly responsive, professional, accommodating, communicative and very understanding. On top of it, our manager Brennan has been very nice and wonderfully pleasant to deal with. My maintenance requests are handled in a timely manner and in accordance with the law. They have made a terrific intermediary between several long-standing and new tenants in this building and a very unfriendly, unpleasant, miserly property owner. As far a property management companies go, it really doesn't get better than this (and I've lived in a LOT of apartments in Southern California). Our quality of life has improved here as a result of them managing our property and for that I am grateful.
