Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why should I consider a Muesing Management community when choosing a new apartment home?

A: Muesing Management is a locally owned and managed property management company. For over 30 years it has been our goal to provide the very best in apartment living at an affordable cost to you. Which means we pay closer attention to the appearance, day-to-day management and general operation of our apartment communities. Often, out-of-state owners and/or management companies neglect and fail to pay close attention to the needs and upkeep of their properties. Since the owner lives in Indianapolis, he plays an active role in the day-to-day operation of our communities. He often visits and drives through each property personally in order to make sure they are kept in the best possible condition and to assure that it will be a place you will be proud to call "home".

Q: Why does Muesing Management have a "NO PET POLICY" at all of their apartment communities?

A: As soon as Muesing Management Company acquires an apartment property, we immediately impliment a "NO PET POLICY" for new residents that move into any of our communities. However, we are obligated to "grandfather in", or accept, pets of existing residents who currently have one at the time we purchase a new property. Those residents are not allowed to replace their present pet with another (i.e.: when a pet dies or if it must be removed from the apartment for any reason, etc.), nor are they allowed to add additional pets at any time. From past experience we have found that the majority of prospects looking for an apartment home appreciate the fact that we do not allow animals of any kind and that we enforce a strict "NO PET POLICY" for the following reasons:

  1. Barking disturbances are virtually eliminated. Therefore, a more peaceful, quiet environment is created;

  2. Pet "messes" in and around the property grounds are near non-existent. The result is a cleaner, neater property that residents, their guests, children, etc. can walk through without fearing where you step. This creates a healthier atmosphere for everyone.

  3. Less fear of vicious animals biting or threatening you, your family and guests;

  4. Smaller chance of confronting unruly animals that are loose and unleashed, running through the property infringing on your space and violating your privacy;

  5. Pet damage to the apartments, building common hallways and patio areas is virtually eliminated, creating a much nicer and cleaner-smelling apartment for prospects (YOU!). Let's face it, who wants to rent and move into an apartment that has pet urine-soaked and stained carpeting and pad! Why should you be forced to accept and live in such disagreeable and smelly conditions?

We feel that by having a "NO PET POLICY" you, in turn, will discover that living at a Muesing Management apartment community will be a more pleasant rental experience.

Q: What options do I have regarding lease lengths?

A: Prospective residents should check with the specific Muesing Management apartment communities that they are most interested in as lease lengths offered do vary from community to community, depending on several factors (i.e.: time of year, unit availability, etc.) Some communities offer either a 3, 6, and 12 month lease lengths, depending on specific circumstances, while others may offer only a 12 month lease. Month-to-month lease lengths are available only after the initial lease (the lease which is signed at time of move in and/or the most current lease) has been fulfilled. Month-to-month rent is based on "market" rent plus an additional monthly premium.

Q: Are furnished, corporate apartments offered?

A: Many of Muesing Management communities do offer corporate apartment arrangements, furnished and/or unfurnished. However, please check with the specific apartment community you are interested in as corporate apartment arrangements are not offered at all Muesing Management communities. The location and side of town that each property is in usually dictates whether they are offered. A factor in determining whether they are or are not offered is the number of large businesses in each specific area that would support such leases.

Q: How much notice is required prior to moving out of one of Muesing Management Company's apartment communities?

A: Written notice must be given by the resident and received at the rental office of the apartment community at which they reside thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of a current lease. Some Muesing Management communities prorate the last months rent at the end of the current lease term while others do not. Again, please check with the specific apartment community you are interested in for more details regarding their move out notice requirements.

Q: Do leases at Muesing Management communities contain a job transfer and/or military transfer clause?

A: Yes, our lease agreement states that if you are transferred by your employer or the military and you meet the following requirements you will be released from your current lease with no further obligation.

  1. Your employer must mail a written statement, on company letterhead, detailing the circumstances of the transfer as well as your destination to the rental office. Military personnel will be required to furnish a written copy of their military orders.

  2. You must be transferred at least 50 miles out of the county.

  3. You must give a proper 30 day notice of your intent to vacate the apartment. The notice must be given in writing on the first day of the month in which you intend to vacate.

  4. You must pay the rent to the end of that monthly rental period in which notice is given as well as a termination fee equal to one months rent. All fees and rents due under these circumstances must be paid at the time the notice is given. (Many employers will reimburse their employees for such costs. Check with your employer to see what their policy is regarding this matter.)
