Quick Links:

HOW DOES THE MANAGEMENT TRANSFER AFFECT ME?

The management of your rental home is being transferred to Progress Residential. This means, going forward, Progress Residential will be responsible for the property management services of your home. You will make payments to Progress and place any maintenance service requests through Progress. 

We’ll provide the information you'll need along the way, but there are a few things to understand as this transfer takes place.

  • The terms of your Lease Agreement will stay the same until renewal.
  • You will receive communications from Progress and Progress team members.
  • There is a very brief amount of time where services such as payments and maintenance service will not be available. 
  • You will be asked to either create a Progress account or update your payment information in your existing property management account. More information about that below.
  • You will be asked to schedule your first payment through your online account.

CREATING A RENT CAFÉ ACCOUNT

To make payments online, schedule automatic payments, access your account, view your lease, and more, you’ll need to create an account in our safe and secure online system. Progress Residential uses Rent Café, a secure account portal.

Creating an account is quick and easy.

  1. CLICK HERE to visit the account registration page. We recommend bookmarking this link for quick access.
  2. Enter your registration code which is provided to you by email. The code is unique to you and is generally 8 characters long.
  3. Fill in the fields.
  4. Click “Register”.
  5. Add payment methods of payment or set up automatic payments.
     

If you encounter any issues while registering, please email support@progressresidential.com. Please Note: It may take up to 48 hours for your method of payment to be validated through your banking institution. Please be sure to create your account several days ahead of the first of the month so your payment is processed on time.

UPDATING AN EXISTING RENT CAFÉ ACCOUNT

Like your previous property manager, Progress Residential uses Rent Café, a secure resident account portal that allows you to make payments online, schedule automatic payments, access your account, view your lease, and more. If you have an online account through your previous property manager through Rent Café, all you'll need to do is log in to your account with your current login credentials and update or re-enter your preferred method of payment.

While much of your account information was transferred to your Progress online account, your method of payment cannot transfer. As a result, you'll need to enter your preferred method of payment in your Progress Residential account. You will be able to log in to Progress Residential's Rent Café resident portal with the same login credentials you used with your previous property manager. 

Please take a few minutes to log in and set up your preferred method of payment to ensure that your payments are processed accurately and on time.

Updating your payment information is simple:

  1. CLICK HERE to visit our Rent Café page. We recommend bookmarking this link for quick access.
  2. Log in using your same login credentials you used with your previous resident account. Your existing login credentials will work for your Progress Residential account.
  3. Add your preferred method of payment or set up automatic payments. This MUST be set-up again as payment information is not transferred over from the previous property manager.Please Note: It may take up to 48 hours for the account to validate your method of payment with your banking institution. Please be sure to update your payment information several days ahead of the first of the month so your payment is processed on time.

 

Once your payment details are validated, you will be able to make payments and submit online service requests here.

If you encounter any issues while registering, please email support@progressresidential.com.

MOVING INTO YOUR HOME

If you’ve signed your lease and are preparing to move into your home, please watch for communications from Progress Residential team members. Our team members will guide you through the process of moving into your new rental home.

MOVING OUT OF YOUR HOME

If you’ve given notice and are preparing to move out of your home, your move out date should remain the same. You may be contacted by Progress Residential team members as you complete the move-out process, so please watch for communications. Our team members will guide you through the process of moving out of your new rental home. 

FOR RESIDENTS WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY GIVEN NOTICE

If you’ve given notice to your previous property manager and are planning on moving out of the home, the transition to Progress Residential shouldn’t impact you. However, you need to be aware of a few things:

  • Your move out date should remain the same.
  • You may be contacted by Progress Residential team members as you complete the move-out process.
  • You should watch for emails from Progress Residential.

UTILITIES AND UTILITY BILLING

Any utilities that are in your name will not be impacted by this transition. Any utility services that were held in your previous property manager’s name will be transferred to Progress Residential. Those utilities will be managed by Conservice, Progress Residential’s utility management service. For more information on this, please visit our Setting up and Managing Utilities page here.

Generally, in your first account statement with Progress, you’ll see charges for any utility services you used for the last short period of time with your previous property manager. Occasionally, it takes additional time to process and transfer utility charges, so it’s possible that you’ll see these charges in your second month’s account statement.

If you have any questions about your property manager handled utilities, please contact service@conservice.com.
