Tenant FAQ

When is the rent due?

The rent is always due on the first of the month. The rent is due on the 1st, late on the 2nd and late fees will be applied after the 5th.

How do I pay my rent?

The easiest way to pay rent is online, and there are no extra fees! Please go to the top menu to “Tenants”, then click “Tenant Resources” and then click “Access Online Portal“. You may also pay your rent with our “Pay Near Me” option. As long as you have your barcode, you may take that paper and cash to the nearest CVS and make your rent payment there. If you need your personalized barcode, please email the office and we will send it to you. If you are planning on dropping your payment off to our dropbox, please be aware that there is a $10.00 paper processing fee. You can mail or drop off your certified check or money order to Compass Property Mgmt. LLC 1415 W. Kings Hwy Gap PA 17527 (our dropbox is right beside the door to our office.)

Why do I need insurance?

Landlords insure the physical building, their insurance policy does not cover your belongings. Renters insurance covers your belongings and can also help protect you against liability lawsuits or medical bills of guests injured in your apartment and accidents caused by other tenants.
One of the most common reasons for an insurance claim is for damage to electronics from lightning strikes. Please ask your insurance agent to explain your coverage.

What if I have a pet?

If you are in a unit that allows pets you must first get the pet approved through this link. Keep in mind there are deposit and payment requirements.
