Post-Sublease Checklist

Please review the information below to assist with the transfer of your apartment for a sublease.

  1.  PAYMENTS: 
  • Rent and Utility installments are always due the 1st of each month. Please remember to submit payments on time, and ensure any previously enabled automatic payments are adjusted correctly during your sublease.
  • Summer Subleases require all remaining payments to be paid prior to sublease completion.

ACH:

  • Current Residents- If you have signed up for automatic withdrawal through JSM and you would like to cancel or alter the amount deducted, you must complete a “Statement of Final Automatic Withdrawal / Cancellation of Automatic Withdrawal” form to the JSM office a minimum of two weeks before the next scheduled deduction.  We will not cancel nor make changes without the completed form.
  • Sublessee- JSM offers FREE automatic withdrawal for rent payments.  By completing a short form, you may automatically pay your rent and utility fees by having them deducted directly from any US checking or savings account. Please email Diane at dbradford@jsmliving.com to have the ACH form emailed to you.

Paying by Check:

  • Checks and Money Orders should be sent or dropped off at the JSM office located at 505 S Fifth St, Champaign, IL 61820.

*In the memo line of your check, located in the lower left-hand corner, please write your apartment’s building and unit code. This is the abbreviated code for your building’s street address and apartment number.

(example: 505 S Fifth St, Apartment #1 would use the code 505F-1).

  1.  UTILITIES: 

  • Ensure that there is no gap in service for your utilities.  If you are transferring utilities, have the turn off date for the vacating resident equal the turn on date for the incoming resident.  307 E. Armory, 401 E. Chalmers, 700 S. Gregory, and 701 S. Gregory, do not contact utility companies since these locations pay JSM directly for their utility services.

  1.  SUBLEASE SECURITY DEPOSIT/ CLEANING: 
  • If a sublease security deposit is paid by the sublessee to the sublessor, both parties should be present to complete, sign and date an “Inventory and Condition Report”. You may request a black copy of this report at the JSM office or email jsm@jsmliving.com to have one emailed to you.  Each party should keep a copy for their own records and use the form to determine which damages are to be deducted from the sublessee’s security deposit.  Do not submit this form to JSM as we do not return personal sublease security deposits paid to sublessors.
  • JSM does not clean nor inspect apartments prior to a sublease starting. The apartment is accepted by sublessee as-is, and any pre-sublease cleaning should be arranged/agreed upon by sublessor and sublessee.
  1.  KEYS: 
  • Make arrangements to transfer keys, garage remotes, and/or parking permit tags directly from sublessor to sublessee. 
  • If the current tenant is leaving keys at the JSM office for the sublessee to pick up, please indicate at the front desk that the keys are “for a Sublease” and fill out a sublease key envelope.
  • Please note that keys may only be picked up at the JSM office during office hours. Regular office hours are 8:00am-5:00pm on weekdays and 10:00am-5:00pm on Saturdays.
