Your move-in is soon approaching and we are looking forward to having you as a new resident. We would like to give you an overview of what to expect come August 15th, along with some helpful information.
Moving In
Moving In
All leases commence at 2 p.m. on August 15th. Please note that the contractors may still be in the unit preparing for your move-in on August 15th. Key pick-up will take place in the lobby of your building. The August installment payment is due prior to key pick-up. You can set up automatic payments in your Tenant Portal. If you have not already received access to your Tenant Portal, please let our management team know. We ask that one leaseholder pick up all keys for the unit. This greatly expedites the move-in process.
Moving Trucks
If you need the assistance of a moving truck or van, we suggest planning this well in advance. Moving vehicles become limited in the Madison area during move-out and move-in time.
- Mad City Moving: 608-274-9855
- Two Men and a Truck: 608-340-1557
- U-Haul: 608-256-3743 or 608-833-6610

*Please note that many moving trucks/vans do not pass clearance into our underground parking garages.
Parking
Parking in downtown Madison on move-in day is very limited. LZ Management will open all of our lots on August 15th to accommodate our residents. Please be sure that you are parked at the correct address and actively moving belongings. Any vehicle parked without activity will be at risk of being towed. Please be respectful of others and move your vehicle out of the lot once you are done moving your belongings. If you have any questions or concerns regarding move-in parking, please talk to our staff upon key pick-up. We will have special accommodations for trucks with trailers, as well as large moving trucks. Neither of these vehicles will be able to fit in the garage. Please see the traffic map below.

UNAUTHORIZED PET

DRYWALL DAMAGE
- We recommend using small nails to hang items on the walls. We advise against using Command strips and other adhesives (like those that come with LED light strops), as they frequently cause drywall damage upon removal.
- Always use a shower curtain when in the shower. Water leaking onto the bathroom floor can cause drywall damage, which is not considered normal wear and tear for the purposes of your security deposit.
ELEVATOR
- Do NOT jump or rough house in the elevator. This will cause the elevator to shut down, and a technician will need to come in to reset it. The bill for this service will be forwarded to you ($2,000+).

- Unless renewed, all leases end on 08/13 at 8:30am. We are unable to accommodate any later move-out requests.
DELIVERY FORWARDING
- Update your forwarding address at USPS.com/move well in advance of moving out of X01. Letters and packages will not be stored for you after you vacate and will be sent back with the carrier. Also, consider changing your shipping address with online retailers.
SECURITY DEPOSIT
- The security deposit for your unit will be mailed within 21 days after your lease ends to the payee as designated by your lease.
MOVING CARTS
- Moving carts will be available on a limited basis. The parking garage is available to use while you are moving.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Restech Services is the building's internet service provider. Internet service is already active in the units upon move-in. An ethernet cord can be plugged into any of the accommodating wall jacks and to a computer for the most stable connection. To set up a secure WIFI source for the apartment, you’ll need to provide your own router. Most routers will work fine but to get the most out of the high-speed internet service ResTech suggests using a Net gear or TP-Link router with a serial number beginning with AC or AX and dual-band capability.
- Temporary parking passes are available to tenants for $10/day. They may be reserved in person at the management office and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
- Installments can be paid electronically through the online AppFolio Tenant Portal. We recommend using the e-check payment option to avoid any fees charged by the payment processing platform. The monthly installment can also be paid by personal check, cashier’s check or money order. Cash payments are not accepted.
Yes. You can reach out to our management team with any questions or concerns via email at campus@lz-management.com or by phone at (608) 441-3400.
- Maintenance requests can be submitted online via the Appfolio tenant portal, and our maintenance staff will respond promptly. We also have a 24/7 emergency maintenance team for any urgent matters that occur after hours that can be reached at (608) 283-3112.
- A great and important question to ask. All entrances to the building (including the parking garages and elevators) have controlled access, meaning a fob is required to get in. There are also 24/7 surveillance cameras in all public spaces and entrances. In addition, we have nightly on-site security.
- Absolutely! Monthly payments can be made online via the Appfolio Tenant Portal.
- A sublet happens when a current tenant decides to rent their unit to a third party while keeping the lease in the original tenant’s name. We often have sublease agreements when a current tenant decides to study abroad for a semester, or won’t be in Madison for the summer months. Subletting can involve the entire unit or individual bedrooms.If a tenant chooses to sublet, he/she is ultimately responsible for finding a sublease tenant. However, LZ Management’s marketing team can assist in the process upon request.Price is to be negotiated between the original tenant and the sublet tenant. It’s important to keep in mind that the original amount of rent due remains the same. Additionally, the original tenant remains ultimately responsible for the lease if the sublease tenant defaults. The original tenant is released from the lease obligations when the lease terminates.The sub-lessee(s) must complete an application to be approved by the landlord. In addition, all tenants, the sub-lessee(s), and the Landlord must sign the sublet agreement before the sublease becomes a legal amendment. Finally, there is a $150 sublet fee due upon completion of authorization.

Feel free to contact your property representative directly to assist with any additional questions you have. On behalf of our entire staff, we look forward to having you as our resident.
Sincerely,
LZ Management
