COVID-19 IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Updated: September 14th, 2020
Our focus is to protect the health and safety of our employees and residents. We continue to track COVID-19 updates and will continue to follow the guidance from local and federal officials. Please understand we are in a very fluid and dynamic environment with major changes and developments happening hourly. We are doing our best to minimize confusion and take care of your needs as quickly as possible.
RENT PAYMENTS
Effective July 1st, 2020 we will be requiring all rent payments to be made electronically through your resident portal.
RENT RECEIPTS
Due to the current COVID-19 situation, Cornerstone’s office is closed and staff is temporarily unable to provide written receipts at the time of payment.
If a receipt for rent is needed, please drop off checks or money orders in the rent drop box at the main office: 665 N. Grant St. and include a note with your name, building, unit number and preferred method of receipt — via email or mail.
If you are able, please utilize the online RENTCafe resident portal to make payments. Receipts are emailed immediately upon payment submission and we accept payments via ACH, debit card or credit card.
Thank you for your patience, flexibility and understanding during these temporary changes.
