Frequently Asked Questions

Parking

Have questions about parking?

Message the property manager through the resident portal.

Is there parking for residents?

Yes. The Alto parking garage spans underneath our building. Enter through 1801 Josephine Street. The parking garage is reserved for residents and available for a monthly fee. Additionally, the garage is gated and monitored with motion sensor security cameras. Parking will be offered based on availability and assigned to residents who have registered for parking.

Is there guest parking?

Yes! Guests can park in the surface lot.

Can I charge my electric vehicle?

Yes. We have 4 EV charging stations on level 4. Please be mindful of others and move your vehicle as soon as you are finished charging.

Renters Insurance

Do I need Renters Insurance?

Yes. We carry insurance coverage for the physical building itself; there is no coverage for your personal belongings and in the event you cause damage to your rental location, or other apartment property. Consequently, you may be financially obligated to reimburse your community or landlord for those damage repairs. The intent of our insurance requirement is to protect everyone!

What are the Insurance Requirements?

As part of your lease agreement, you’re required to maintain an active renters insurance policy throughout your residency and provide proof of coverage. Residents should have a minimum of $100,000 in legal liability protection. This is to protect the property and resident from damage to our property to include damage caused by Water, Fire, Smoke and Explosion. We require all insurance carriers to list Uptown Rental Properties as an “Interested Party” on the Declaration page so the insurance company will notify us in the event of a cancellation or change in policy status.

Maintenance

Did you know you can see all of your service requests and their resolution in the resident portal?

By providing all of the necessary information on your service issue, you can ensure that your maintenance request is handled efficiently and that any issues in your apartment are resolved promptly.

How should I report maintenance?

Please add regular maintenance requests in the Resident Portal.
Click on Service Issues > Add Service Issue.
Description of the Issue: Be as detailed as possible when describing the maintenance problem. Include the specific location (e.g., kitchen sink, bathroom light) and any relevant details (e.g., “The kitchen sink is leaking from the faucet”). If you can add a photo, that is always helpful.
Urgency Level: Indicate if the issue is urgent. This helps the maintenance team prioritize requests.
Permission to Enter: If you won’t be home, make sure to grant permission for the maintenance team to enter your apartment to perform the repairs.

What if it’s an emergency?

If you have an emergency, call the office at (513) 938-1901. If it is after-hours, follow the prompts to reach our on-call technician. Examples of emergencies are flooding, leak, fire, broken lock or window, electrical issues (like sparking outlets or power outage), no AC or Heat, Sewer Leak, etc.)

Clubroom & Social Spaces

Can I reserve any of the social spaces for a private event?

Of course! One of the many perks of being a resident! The clubroom, kitchen, and rooftop spaces are available to reserve for parties. Check pricing and availability in the Resident Portal by clicking on Amenity Reservations.

At The Alto, we know that pets are part of the family. We’re happy to accommodate your furry friends and want to ensure you have all the information you need.

Are pets permitted at The Alto?

Yes! We are a pet-friendly community. Just make sure to notify us first. Drop us a message in the Resident Portal when you acquire a new pet.

Are there pet fees?

What is the policy for Emotional Support Animals?

We are committed to creating a supportive and inclusive environment for all our residents. We understand the important role that Emotional Support Animals play in the lives of those who need them, and we are pleased to welcome ESAs as part of our community. You will need to provide documentation from a licensed healthcare professional verifying your need for the ESA. Of course, there are no fees or deposits required for approved ESAs. However, residents are responsible for any damages caused by their ESA.
