Applications with incomplete fields (i.e. landlord name and phone number) will not be processed. Lerch Properties requires a standard 12-month lease on all rentals. The security deposit is the same as one month’s rent.
Cosigners/Guarantors Please list who you are cosigning for on your application. If you are applying for a unit and are under the age of 21, you will be required to have a cosigner.

Office hours are M-F 9 am-5 pm.

Rent Payment Questions
Q: How and Where Do I Make Payments?
A: Rent payments can be made by cash, personal check, money order, or cashier’s check. You can drop off or mail in your payment to our rental office at 2921 N. Center St, Suite 6, Maryville IL 62062.
Q: What Happens If I Cannot Pay Rent In Full By The Due Date?
A: If you are unable to pay rent on the first of the month, contact our office immediately. We pride ourselves on being understanding to situations and offer a 5-day grace period. A late fee of $25 will be due at the beginning of the 6th business day. Payments made after the 19th of the month will be charged a $50 late fee. You will be served with a five-day legal notice when your rent is late. If rent isn’t paid and we don’t hear from you, we have no choice but to begin the eviction process.
Lock and Key Questions
Q: What If I Want My Locks Changed?
A: We are more than happy to schedule a lock change for you; however, the fee will be $50.
Q: What If I Am Locked Out Of My Apartment?
A: If our office is open, we can provide you with a temporary key. You will need to provide identification. If this happens when our office is closed, you are responsible for calling a locksmith.
Other Questions
Q: Does My Lease Offer Insurance Coverage In The Event Of A Fire, Theft or Natural Disaster?
A: Your personal property and vehicles aren’t covered/insured under your lease agreement. It is our recommendation that you obtain renters insurance. This averages around $15 per month.
Q: What If I Need To Break My Lease?
A: All our tenants have the option of buying out their lease. Please contact our property management office for more information.
