Thank you and we look forward to having you as a resident of Turner NW!

A guarantor is one, such as a person or corporation, that makes or gives a promise, assurance, or pledge typically relating to quality, durability, or performance. If under 21, you will need to submit a Lease Contract Guarantor form. It is required to be notarized. This form can be faxed, scanned and emailed, mailed or dropped off in person.

You can pay the security deposit at the same time you apply through the tenant web access portal. The security deposit is $400 per apartment. Turner NW also accepts check or money order, which can be dropped off in person or mailed to the office at 210 Professional Park Drive, Suite 15, Blacksburg, VA 24060.

We provide a limited number of off-street parking spaces for residents. Unfortunately, due to space constraints, we are unable to guarantee each resident will get a space. Parking is available on a first-come first-served basis for an annual fee.

Optional Cable and Internet service can be purchased from Comcast upon move-in and activated right away. For more information, visit WiFi Ready Apartments FAQs – Xfinity Support.

Water, electricity, and gas (for hot water) are billed back to the residents using the Rate Utility Billing System (RUBS), as outlined in your lease:

Utility Services: TENANT shall pay the provider directly for utilities except water/ sewer, electricity and natural gas, which shall be charged to the LANDLORD and reimbursed to the LANDLORD by the TENANT (see part (b)). TENANT shall transfer utility into his/her name effective the day the Lease Term begins and keep them in his/her name until he vacates the Premises at the end of the Lease Term.

LANDLORD shall not be liable to TENANT for any interruption of heat, water, sewer, or other utility service resulting from causes beyond the control of LANDLORD, including but not limited to governmental control, shortages, inferior quality, mechanical failure, or any other cause. Trash collection is included in the terms of this Lease Agreement.

Rate Utility Billing System (RUBS): Pursuant to Virginia Code § 55.1-1212, as amended, LANDLORD hereby reserves the right to implement a rate utility billing system relative to the allocation of utility services, including but not limited to the use of water/sewer, electricity and natural gas, and/or by the use of submetering equipment relative to the allocation of such utility services. LANDLORD further reserves the right to charge and to collect from the TENANT(S) additional service charges, including monthly billing fees, account set-up fees, or account move-out fees, to cover the actual costs of administrative expenses and billings charged to the LANDLORD by a third-party provider of such services and to charge a late fee not to exceed $5.00 if such utility charges are not paid by 5:00 pm on or before the 15th day following the date of mailing or delivery of the invoice.

Utilities (water, electricity, gas) typically average about $60-70 each month per tenant and are based on usage. 
 

Moving In

Water, gas, and electricity will already be on when a resident moves in. Residents will only need to set up optional cable/internet themselves. We encourage you to set up cable/internet services prior to moving in in order to avoid delays.

The cable/internet provider is Comcast. You will need to set up service with them directly. Comcast’s phone number is 1 (888) 266-2278. Comcast’s website is www.xfinity.com. Please note that apartments are listed on Comcast’s website using Turner NW’s address and the resident’s apartment number. For example: 208 Turner St, APT 101, Blacksburg VA 24060.

Keys can be picked up during normal office hours only. Office hours are Monday-Friday 9AM to 5PM. We are unable to keep the office open late. Prior to issuing keys, rent must be paid in full and we must have proof of Renter’s Insurance per the terms of the lease.

Keys will be issued to the first resident/roommate who checks in with the office with a valid ID. We will give all the keys and the entire move in packet to that resident. If your roommate has already moved in/picked up the keys, you can go straight to your apartment to meet them and move in. We will not issue keys to someone who is not on the lease, including parents. A guarantor is not a leaseholder.

**Each resident is responsible for reviewing the Policies and Procedures Manual in the Move In Packet**

Living Here

Rent is due on the 1st of every month. If rent is not paid by the 5th at 5pm, a late fee will be assessed. The late fee is 10% of the outstanding balance. Should rent continue to be unpaid, eviction proceedings will begin.

For safety and security reasons, we cannot give an apartment address or apartment number or any personal information out over the phone. If you are paying someone else’s rent, please request that information from the resident.

You can pay online and using your tenant web access portal login information that was set up when applying for an apartment. Check or money orders are also accepted for rental payments. We are unable to accept cash.
