The typical term for our leases are mid to late August to the end of July.
However, we typically have a dozen vacant units throughout the year and will allow move-ins at any time for those units. If it's January and you need a place, we can likely accommodate you, on a limited basis.
Lease Renewal Season begins in September each year with the guaranteed ability to renew your lease for the following year expiring around 10/1. You may still be able to renew your lease after this date, though the unit is available to the market after that date and anyone else has the ability to rent it for the following year.
We are excited to announce the launch of our new and improved Hometeam parking experience! This system will make it easier for you to find and purchase parking with Hometeam.
To purchase parking, you can go to https://marker-api.com/parking/htcolumbus/v2. From there, fill out the form, and you will be given several parking lots to choose from as well as the price for the chosen parking space in that lot. When all options have been chosen, you will be able to sign your parking agreement at the bottom of the form.
Depending on the chosen lot, you may have one of the following options available:
· Economy –these spaces are sold for a one-time charge.
· Standard – you may choose between a monthly charge or an annual charge for less.
· Premium – you may choose between a monthly charge or an annual charge for less.
· Tandem – you may choose between a monthly charge or an annual charge for less. Tandem spaces are spaces that are extra-long and can fit two vehicles (back to front). Buying a tandem space can be thought of as buying a permanent guest spot in addition to your spot or just buying room for two of your own vehicles.
Marked prices will be stated on the parking form.
Once you have completed the online form, an email will go out announcing when parking passes are ready for pick-up at our office located at 222 E 11th Ave during business hours. Towing resumes August 31st, so be sure to register and get your parking pass before then.
Many units have washers and dryers included; full size or stackable. Many other locations have laundry facilities on-site for residents to use; coin-operated or card-operated, depending on the building. Virtually all multi-family buildings have shared laundry facilities available.
Check unit listings for details.
Hometeam requires that every animal be registered, whether a pet, ESA, or Service Animal(SA) each new lease term.
Definitions:
PETS
Pets are cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, etc.… Pets require signing a Pet Addendum. Fish or anything that inhabits a 10-gallon aquarium (or smaller) doesn’t require a registration or pet addendum, e.g. fish, small turtle, etc.…
Emotional Support Animal (ESA)
ESAs can be a range of animals: cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, etc.… and they have no specialized training. ESAs are for the mitigation of symptoms arising from an emotional disability. ESAs cannot go anywhere animals are otherwise prohibited other than their owners’ home, and in limited capacities, air travel.
To qualify for an ESA, one must be disabled as defined by the Fair Housing Act(FHA). As ESAs are prescribed for non-obvious disabilities, we’re entitled to medical documentation that a resident has been prescribed an ESA for their disability.
Service Animal (SA)
A Service Animal is a dog (in 99% of situations) that has undergone extensive and specialized training to assist its owner with specific tasks related to its owner's disability or disabilities. An SA can go anywhere their handler goes, even where animals are otherwise prohibited. It is a crime under the law to misrepresent a dog as a Service Animal.
Hometeam doesn’t allow dogs that are “in training to become Service Animals" unless otherwise stipulated by law.
SERVICE ANIMALS THAT ASSIST WITH AN OBVIOUS DISABILITY (The blind or partially sighted, for example) DO NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION.
If you wish to register an animal, please do so online via the form located at:

Rent is due on the 1st and considered late on the 3rd.
Rent can be paid via the online resident portal by ACH transaction or credit card. There is a convenience fee for each option with the ACH payment costing approx. $1.99 per occurrence (subject to change).
Physical payments (check, money order) carry a processing fee per the lease agreement.
CASH IS NEVER ACCEPTED.
Outstanding charges for items like utilities, damages, fees, etc... can accrue late fees if they total more than $100 on or after the 3rd of the month following when they were billed. For example, if a pet fee of $200 was charged on April 10th it could go unpaid without a late fee until May 3rd, at which time it would trigger a late fee as outstanding charges are paid first when payments are received.
For questions or concerns about anything payment related, contact us via RentPayments@HTcolumbus.com
August to July lease contracts are not typical conventional lease agreements in that they are for a fixed sum for the entirety of the contract, and broken into twelve equal installments.
If you're wondering why your move-in payment isn't prorated while moving in halfway through the month, this is why. The first page of your contract should list the annual agreed upon sum, and the schedule for installment payments, due on the first of each month.
