Rent is due on the first day of each month. If it is not paid by the 5th of the month it is considered late and a $25 late fee will be charged.
Rent may be paid with a check, money order or credit card in person. We do not accept cash payments. You can also pay online via propertyware.
You may drop payments off at the Apartment Mart leasing office at 912 N. Linden Street, Bloomington or the Wingover leasing office at 1016 Haeffele Way, Bloomington. Also, you may mail them to PO Box 670, Bloomington, IL 61702.
Before your lease expires you will receive a renewal letter in the mail. You will be given the option to renew your lease for one year or you may renew the lease on a month to month basis.
The tenant must give a written 30 day notice to vacate and agrees to continue to pay rent until the apartment is re-rented or the lease expires. If a rent special was applied to your account at move-in, this amount will also be included in your lease breakage fees.

If you would like to add a roommate to your lease they must fill out a rental application, pay the $40 application fee and be approved before being added to a lease.
If you want to remove a roommate from the lease you and your roommate must fill out and sign a Roommate Removal form. The Roommate Removal form states that the person moving out forfeits any rights to the security deposit (if applicable) and the person staying in the apartment accepts full responsibility for the rent and other fees.
A deposit was a refundable security deposit use by Apartment Mart up until May of 2023. We then phased in to a move in fee which is non refundable. If you are unsure if you payed a security deposit or a move in fee please contact Apartment Mart at 309-827-8576.

If deductions are made (or not) and there is still money left over from your deposit a check will be mailed with the inspection form to the forwarding address you provided on your notice to vacate form within 30 days of your move out date.
The move in fee is non refundable and only covers normal wear and tear.
