FAQ's

  • Is the Ballroom available to Residents and/or the Public?

    Yes.  We partner with Epoch Catering for events hosted in our Ballroom.  Inquiries about rates and reservations should be directed to (810) 606-744 or emailed to: celler@epochcatering.com.

  • How do I schedule a viewing and lease an apartment?

    Simply browse our website and select a unit from the displayed availability.  Then choose “contact us” to initiate the appointment scheduling process.  We can also accommodate virtual tours via facetime, zoom or other remote meeting options upon request.  There is a link to the application on the unit listing page.  Application fees are $80 per person and are non-refundable.

  • What is the Waitlist or Roommate application?

    Don’t see a unit available within your desired move-in timeframe? We still want to contact you and discuss upcoming availability or provide information about joining our waitlist.  Waitlist applicants are “in line” for the next available apartment in a desired floorplan.  Waitlist application fees are $80 per person and are non-refundable.  The roommate application is meant to be used when existing residents are adding new roommates to their current lease.  The Durant does not provide roommate matching services.   

  • What fees are included in my rent?

    Trash and pest control is included.  Residents are responsible for establishing electricity, water/sewer, and internet service in their name.  Parking is not included. 

  • What are the application requirements?

    Our combined monthly income requirement is 3x the monthly rent. We complete a credit review and may verify up to three years of positive rental history.  We also complete a criminal background check.  Co-signers are accepted for income purposes only and must demonstrate monthly income of 5x the rent, complete a credit and criminal background check.  We require valid ID and proof of income, which goes through authentication to prevent fraud and identity theft.  

  • Do you allow co-signers?

    Yes. Cosigners are accepted for income qualifying purposes only and must demonstrate a monthly income requirement of 5x the monthly rent.  We also complete a credit and criminal background check.

  • Do you allow pets?

    The Durant welcomes cats and dogs.  We partner with Petscreening.com for registration and allow up to (2) animals per home.   There is a 50lb weight limit and the following dog breeds are not accepted, including mixes of these breeds: German Shepherd, Pit Bull Terrier, Cane Corso, Great Dane, Irish Wolfhound, Dalmatian, Akita, Bullmastiff, Doberman Pincher, Staffordshire Terrier, Siberian Husky, and Chow Chow.  Residents pay a non-refundable pet fee at time of move-in and monthly pet fees, per animal.  The fees charged are based on the pet profile score determined by the Petscreening.com questionnaire.  The range for the non-refundable fee is $275 - $300.  The range for the monthly pet fee is $50 - $75.

  • What fees can I expect to pay when moving in?

    A security deposit equivalent to 1x to 1.5x the rent is required and based on credit.  Residents are expected to pay a one-time Administration Fee of $100.  Residents also pay rent, either the full month or prorated depending on the move-in date.  If the move-in date falls on or after the 25th of the month, a prorate for that month, plus the next full month would be due.  All other optional fees for parking or pets would also be due.

  • What should I expect on move-in day?

    Once your application has been approved and the lease is signed, our team will schedule your move-in appointment.  The appointment time allows for a brief orientation of the building, key exchange and provides independent use of the freight elevator.  

  • How is parking and access to the building handled?

    The Durant offers residents parking in the gated structure for $75 per month, per space.  Guests may park off site.  The building and parking structure has controlled access features and residents enter using a proximity card. 

  • Is the water safe?

    All pipes and main lines in the building were replaced upon renovation of the building.  Additionally, The City of Flint’s water system has undergone extensive infrastructure projects.  More information may be found on the City’s of Flint’s website: https://www.cityofflint.com/progress-report-on-flint-water/

  • Do you accept packages?

    We absolutely do!  Our building has a designated mail area where carriers can deliver your items.  We can even place a package inside your home if requested.

  • Do I need Renter’s Insurance?

    Yes.  The owner’s policy does not cover damage caused by residents, or damage to resident’s personal property.  All residents are required to maintain minimum liability coverage in the amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).  This coverage may be obtained by a provider of resident’s choice.  However, we make the process simple by including coverage options during the application process.  Residents that bring an animal onto the property must have animal coverage noted.  If your liability coverage lapses for any reason, or fails to meet the criteria, we will obtain liability coverage on your behalf at the current rate, plus administrative fees, billed to your account.  

  • How do I report a Maintenance Issue?

    Maintenance requests must be submitted in writing through the online resident portal.  The only exception is a valid emergency.  The after-hours emergency maintenance number is (855) 335-7365.  This number is also displayed in the resident portal and in the informational packet provided at move-in. 

  • How long should I wait to hear from management regarding a maintenance problem?

    We strive to provide prompt resolutions to our resident’s maintenance needs.  In a non-emergency situation, please allow up to two business days for our team to address.  If you have not heard from our office or one of our vendors within 48 business hours, please contact us and we’ll be glad to help you get the issue resolved. 

  • What am I responsible for maintaining in my home?

    We are pleased to offer a truly maintenance free lifestyle when choosing to live at The Durant.  We take care of HVAC filter changes, washer dryer maintenance, replacing smoke detector batteries, and light bulbs.  Residents are responsible for maintaining cleanliness of the home and reporting any other maintenance concern to us.

  • Do I need approval to paint or change something in the home I am renting?

    Our buildings have history! Due to historic preservations requirements, we have very specific regulations on modifications, which are outlined in the lease.  Please talk with the property manager if there are questions. 

  • Can I sublet or AirBNB my apartment?

    No. While we understand the desire to sublet or turn your home into an AirBNB may arise, we do not allow it.  For everyone living in our buildings, we process a credit and criminal background check as well as rental verification on anyone over the age of 18.
