Safety & Tenant Welfare

Security

We know that safety and security are of utmost importance to you when considering an off-campus apartment. We never take short-cuts when it comes to your welfare!

All of our units have solid wood or steel doors. We use only top-quality, commercial-grade doorknobs and add peep holes, dead bolts or door chains, where appropriate.

Did you know that not all landlords change the locks each year? You can feel safe and confident knowing that on move-in day, we will re-key every lock to your new apartment.

Fire Prevention

As with security, we take fire prevention very seriously!

All of our apartments have been upgraded to hardwire, battery back-up smoke detectors and all of our units have carbon monoxide detectors.

For your added safety, we always fulfill the City of New Brunswick's fire inspection requirements. The Fire Marshall will inspect 1 & 2 family units before you move in to ensure smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are operating properly.

Certificate of Occupancy

Every three years, all of our apartments are inspected by the City of New Brunswick's Department of Housing, as required. This inspection ensures your new apartment is in compliance with all of the City's ordinances created for your safety and comfort.

The City determines each apartment's maximum occupancy and the maximum occupancy of each bedroom (i.e. single, double or triple occupancy). Many of our clients choose to occupy our apartments with fewer than the number allowed by the City. We do not permit overcrowding.

Rent Control

The City of New Brunswick has a rent control ordinance, one purpose of which is to protect tenants from steep annual rent increases. All of our properties are registered annually with the City's Rent Control Department. We know that cost is always an important consideration when moving off-campus, and since many of our clients stay with us for more than one lease term, rent control helps you to budget with confidence!
