Frequently Asked Questions

Tours can be scheduled and applications submitted at www.liveatmalbec.com. Please arrive at the leasing office 5 minutes before your scheduled appointment. Virtual tours are available on our website. You can also reach us at (855) 759-0842.

Applications are completed online at www.liveatmalbec.com. You’ll need a valid government-issued photo ID and proof of income — combined household income of at least three times the monthly rent is the general guideline. Rental history or references may be requested, covering a 12-month period. You also have the option to submit a Portable Tenant Screening Report (PTSR) in lieu of a standard application. If you provide a PTSR, no application fee will be charged.

Move-in costs include your first month’s rent and applicable fees. Security deposits start at $500; conditionally approved applicants pay $500 plus one month’s rent. Pet residents pay a one-time refundable deposit of $300 per apartment (not per pet), plus $35/month per pet in pet rent. A pet screening profile through PetScreening.com is required ($30 fee). All residents are required to set up a Park M parking permit at $8/month through the Park M app.

Initial lease terms range from 2 to 15 months — shorter terms carry a higher monthly rate. Renewal offers are sent 70–80 days before your lease expiration date. A written 60-day notice to vacate is required. If you need to end your lease early, an early termination fee equal to two months’ rent is due prior to returning your keys.

Rent is due on the 1st of each month. You have a grace period through the 8th; certified funds are required starting on the 4th. A late fee of 5% of monthly rent is applied on the 9th. Rent is paid through Bilt Rewards — via the Bilt app or biltrewards.com. Payment options include bank account/ACH (no fee), debit card ($9.95/transaction), or credit card (3%/transaction). Paying through Bilt also earns you Bilt Points redeemable for travel, fitness, dining, and more.

Your monthly rent covers your base rent only. Utilities are billed separately: water, sewer, gas, and trash are added to your monthly statement, and electricity is set up through your own account with the local utility provider. Internet and cable are also set up directly through your preferred provider. Every home includes a Vine Wi-Fi programmable smart thermostat.

Before move-in, you’ll need to sign your lease, pay your move-in costs, and provide proof of renter’s insurance. If you don’t have your own policy, a damage waiver fee will apply. Pet owners must also complete their pet screening profile. All residents are required to set up a Park M parking permit prior to move-in. Keys and fob access will be provided at move-in.

A written 60-day notice to vacate is required. A pre-move-out inspection will be scheduled within two weeks of your notice date — your presence is optional. A final move-out inspection is conducted when you return your keys. You’ll complete a key receipt form at that time. If you can’t return keys during business hours, email the leasing office with the key location and your forwarding address. Your apartment should be left clean; charges may apply for damage beyond normal wear and tear. Per Colorado law, security deposits are returned within the required timeframe. Contact the leasing office for a full move-out checklist.

Maintenance requests can be submitted by calling (855) 759-0842, visiting the leasing office, or through your Rent Café resident portal. After-hours calls are handled by an AI dispatch system. The following are considered maintenance emergencies: a lockout caused by a malfunctioning lock, a non-functioning toilet in a single-bathroom home, any active water intrusion or leak, no heat, no A/C when outdoor temperatures exceed 85°F, no hot water, electrical interruption, a non-functioning refrigerator, or a fire. For fires, call 911 immediately. For all other after-hours emergencies, call (855) 759-0842.

We use two separate platforms. Rent Café is your resident portal — where you sign your lease, submit maintenance requests, and manage your tenancy. Bilt Rewards is your payment portal — where you pay rent and earn Bilt Points redeemable for travel, fitness, dining, and more. Note that lease documents and maintenance requests are in Rent Café, not Bilt. Use the Bilt app for payments and your Rent Café login for everything else.
