As listed on your lease, the first day you may move in is the Friday before the Monday of classes.  The first person moving in needs to let us know what time they will arrive.  We will open the house/apt. for them and their key will be on the table.  We typically try to have tenants arrive by 9 am. Remaining roommates need to coordinate with the first person to let them in when they arrive (if this is not possible, contact our office). Keys will be dropped off for remaining roommates who come on a later day.

*Anyone needing to move in early must contact the office before July 15^th for approval.

Students with an ESA should inform Strong’s Student Rentals prior to or during their tour so we can provide them with the ESA policy & procedure information and the guidelines on how they need to follow the requirements.  Pennsylvania ESA laws are governed by the Fair Housing Act.  Strong’s Student Rentals asks tenants to notify them prior to bringing an ESA to the rental.

The Fair Housing Act lists requirements including a legitimate documentation of disability from a Pennsylvanian physician, psychiatrist or qualified licensed mental health professional. The documentation must demonstrate that the animal is necessary to treat identified symptoms or effects of an existing disability.  The landlord has the right to request veterinary records on the vet’s letterhead with contact information proving the ESA is up to date on all required vaccinations and is protected from fleas/ticks for the protection of all tenants.  The tenant and the ESA must meet all FHA requirements.  Such requirements include both service and emotional support animals must be under the control of their owner at all times.  Ensuring that an ESA is housebroken (trained to relieve themselves outside of the house/apartment) is part of the owner’s responsibility to maintain control and cleanliness.  The ESA must not pose a direct threat to the health or safety of others or cause significant property damage.  Strong’s will provide a complete list of ESA requirements.
