New manager. Apartment Rentals is very proud to introduce Lynn Myers, our new General Manager.  Lynn comes to us from St. Louis, Mo, with a lot of relevant experience. She is in charge of all apartment operations. Lynn is very sincere and anxious to provide as good a service to our tenants as can be. To assist her in this endeavor we have also increased our maintenance staff and we anticipate an all around improvement. Lynn in her first month has already shown her mettle: she truly cares about our tenants and has made herself available to each and every tenant.

New Moscow branch manager. Sarah Meyers, has joined our staff as our new Moscow Office Manager.  Sarah has many years of customer service experience and brings to our company a true commitment to making sure that our tenants' needs are met in a timely and professional manner. 

Scholarship Discounts. This year Apartment Rentals has awarded several scholarship discounts to qualifying residents. Our lifelong personal association with education is probably at work here. Scholarship Discounts up to 20% are offered to the highest ranking Washington State University and University of Idaho students. (Certain conditions apply; please call us for details). We are proud to be able to assist deserving students just as we were grateful to receive analogous assistance during our own student years.

Spring semester. We are now renting for the second semester. It has been our pleasure to reward our select renewing tenants with a substantial Premium Tenant Discount.

CONTINUING TENANTS. As is the tradition, a new lease must be signed every year. Of course, university schedules play a role as leases, usually but not necessarily, start in August of each year. This is a ritual that neither tenants nor we particularly enjoy. But if you are already renting from us, re-renting could not be simpler. Sometime before your lease expires we may offer you the opportunity to renew on special terms. Please call us if you wish to use our express renewal. This year, we have been amazed and gratified by the record number of renewals. Typically, the exact same lease form gets signed for the coming school year and rate adjustments get accounted for. And the best news for renewing tenants is the significant discount: Our renewing tenants are especially valued --- they always pay less than the market rate if they stay in the same apartment.

NEW TENANTS. If you are thinking of renting from us, do it as early in the university rental season as possible as the choice of apartments gets whittled down and rates go up. The first step is to qualify as our tenant. In most cases we are able to inform you right away if you qualify. The next step is to secure an apartment. You can contact us by email, by phone (Pullman: 509 332 8622, Moscow: 208 882 4721), or by fax (509 332 6886). Using this website will save a lot of time. By the time you are ready to look at your apartment choice, you will be as well-informed as can be. And once you settle on your choice, we will sign the lease. That's all there is to it.

Enhancements. In other Apartment Rentals news, all our three-bedroom and some two-bedroom apartments at The Elysian Fourplexes now offer stackable washers and dryers. These apartments are quite popular. There is no doubt that this new amenity will make them even more desirable. Also, we are now gradually increasing our interior pictures archive. As an example, please take a look at The West View Terrace Apartments or The Elysian Fourplexes. We strive to provide as much information as possible.

Internet. Our web site continues to bring us success and pride. It is among the highest ranking sites of its kind in the world. It has been designed, written and is being updated by the owner himself. We feel gratified with the attention it has received not only from apartment seekers and fellow web masters, but also from all search engines as it now ranks very high (In the free, non-sponsor web search results, out of over 3,600,000 entries it ranked #6 worldwide in Yahoo Top Ten: query: 'apartment rentals'). The number of hits keeps growing -- we reached a new high recently with several thousand hits per day. Our goal has been to present as much information in as much an accessible manner as possible. We simply believe that better information will greatly enhance the likelihood of a hassle-free and satisfying rental relationship.
