Frequently Asked Questions

How do I pay rent?

Use the Resident Portal for ACH/e-check (preferred). Card payments may be available and can include a processing fee. We do not accept cash in the office.

I can’t log into the Resident Portal—what do I do?

Click “Forgot Password” on the portal login. If you still can’t access it, email office@gasproperties.com with your name, unit address, and phone.

How do I submit a maintenance request?

Submit routine requests in the Resident Portal (attach photos if possible). For urgent issues (major leak, no heat, electrical hazard), call (614) 263-2665.

What counts as an emergency?

Active water leaks, no heat (in season), electrical hazards/sparks, gas smell, flooding, or security risks. For life-threatening issues, call 911, then notify us.

What’s the typical maintenance response time?

Emergencies: same day. Urgent: within 24 hours. Routine: typically 24–72 hours, depending on parts and scheduling.

When do most leases start?

Campus leases commonly begin August 14 at 12:00 PM (noon) unless your lease states otherwise. Your lease controls.

Keys & lockouts

Keys are issued at move-in per your lease. During office hours we can assist with lockouts; after-hours lockouts may incur a service fee.

Are utilities included?

Most units are tenant-paid. Some buildings include water (and a few include gas for hot water). Check your listing or lease for specifics.

Many units are pet-friendly with approval, fees, and/or a deposit. Breed/weight restrictions may apply. Please ask before applying.

Is subletting allowed?

Not without written landlord approval. Contact us for the process and any applicable fees.

Parking & towing

Some properties include off-street parking (sometimes tandem). On-street parking may require a city permit. Vehicles parked improperly may be towed—always follow posted signage.

Laundry options

Some buildings offer coin-op laundry rooms; others include in-unit washer/dryer. See your unit’s page or ask us.

Smoking & vaping policy

Smoking and vaping are not permitted inside units or common areas. Use designated outdoor spaces and dispose of waste properly.

Packages & deliveries

Ship to your name and unit. We are not responsible for packages left in common areas; consider delivery lockers when possible.

Snow, lawn & common areas

We handle lawn care and common-area snow removal. Residents should keep steps/porches safe between service visits.

How do I renew my lease?

We typically start renewals in the fall for the next academic year. Watch your email/portal for offers and deadlines.

What’s the application process?

Apply online from the property page. Approvals may require income verification and/or a co-signer. We’ll email next steps (lease, deposit, ID).
