current tenant resources
If you are currently a tenant of WJL Companies, the following resources are available for your convenience:
maintenance requests
Below are several common maintenance requests we receive – please review these before contacting us regarding a maintenance issue. As a reminder, lockouts are not considered an emergency and fees will apply for these requests.
Lockouts are not considered an emergency. Our fees for lockouts are $35 during normal business hours, and $70 outside of our normal business hours (subject to employee availability).
As a courtesy, we replace the filters in the spring and fall, but for better performance we recommend changing them July 1st and again on January 1st. Tenants with pets are required to change air filters once a month.
If your unit is equipped with a garbage disposal, we ask that you do not put oils, fats and fibrous foods (celery, asparagus, artichokes, chard, kale, lettuce, potato peelings, onion skins) into the garbage disposal. These items can easily entangle the blades causing it to jam.
If you’re experiencing thermostat issues, please follow these steps before contacting maintenance:
1. Check the batteries.
2. Check the filter.

Online rent payment
For convenience, our tenants are welcome to use Zelle for online rent payment. We additionally support PayPal and Venmo, but please note that credit card fees will apply. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require further assistance!
As a reminder, you can also pay via check or an online recurring billing system through your bank.
rent dropbox
Our rent dropbox is located at 2715 Cherokee Street (Cherokee Business Incubator building) outside the entrance, to the left of the ATM machine. The dropbox will be checked every morning, and all payments must be in a sealed envelope with your name and address clearly written on the front. Keeping this in mind, we would strongly encourage everyone to drop off checks.
Please note: any cash payments will require prior arrangements with our office. Please send us a notification via email to begin this process. We cannot guarantee cash payment security until an email receipt is transmitted. WJL Companies is not responsible for any lost payments via cash.
