More Info
- NO cigarettes, cigars or other tobacco smoking (even outside).
- One month security deposit + 1st month’s rent due at signing.
- Good credit — many students don’t have a job or strong credit history, so a lease co-signer (guarantor) is okay too.
- $30 credit & criminal background check fee. 100% of this fee is by Apartments.com for their screening — Landlord does NOT charge or keep one penny of this! NYS limits to $20 so Landlord will refund applicants the difference, unless re-using a previous check.
- Unfurnished. Includes newer stove, refrigerator & air conditioning.
- Tenant pays HVAC, using new (2018) Mitsubishi Hyper-Heat™ premium high efficiency heat pumps (air conditioning + heating). This is NOT “electric heat” — scroll down to the “HVAC” section learn more.
- This is NOT a party house. Enjoy your apartment, but please keep it clean and reasonably quiet (not silent, but be respectful of your neighbors).
Safety:
- Visible building and parking lot on an active street
- Easy 2 to 3 minute walk to Main Street (no drinking & driving risk)
- Deadbolt door lock
- Sidewalks, street lights and crosswalks (to campus & main street)
- Two fire hydrants right near building — across S. Chestnut (pictured below) and at corner of other driveway, on Mohonk Ave.
- Intersection of South Chestnut St. and Mohonk Ave updated for safety. Old one pictured above. New one pictured below, from vantage point of the fire hydrant:

HVAC — Heating & Air Conditioning
As part of the 2018 renovation, expensive & dirty central oil heat was replaced with brand new Mitsubishi Hyper-Heat™ premium high efficiency heat pumps (air conditioning + heating).
** This is energy-efficient technology — NOT “electric heat” or “electric baseboard.”
Tenant pays own (inexpensive) HVAC costs, customized to the temperature and humidity you find comfortable.
Here’s a video on how heat pumps work:

Concerned about it getting too cold outside? These worked perfectly during winter 2018–19, when temperatures were below -5° several days in a row.
- Comes with a remote control.
- Can be scheduled so it’s not wasting energy when you’re asleep or not around.
