Harbor reviews all applicant’s previous rental or ownership records, references, income, third party credit reports and verifies employment. All applicants must fully complete the application and provide all required documentation.

Harbor processes completed applications in a timely manner. A Harbor representative will contact you via phone call and email after review. You will be informed if your application has been approved or denied. If your application is approved, all residents will receive a lease electronically. At that time, all residents or guarantors will be required to sign and provide first month’s rent plus any additional fee.

To submit a maintenance request, log onto your Resident Portal account through our website at www.liveatharbor.com.

This is the best way to keep track of the progress on your request.

No, but you are more than welcome to observe. Many requests can be handled by Harbor’s maintenance team.

Harbor requires full payment for 1st month’s rent, all move-in fees, prior to a resident’s move-in/possession of the apartment. Residents should expect to move-in no earlier than 12PM noon on the first day of their lease. Upon move-in, your Move-In Inspection form, located on page 5 of your Resident Handbook, must be completed.

We follow the guidelines outlined in your lease and in the City of Chicago Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance, so please be prepared for the addition of late fees and possible eviction.

We will be in contact with you 75-90 days prior to your lease end date. We may send you a letter with a reminder and ask for updated information or send the actual lease renewal. If we do not receive any response, we will begin marketing the apartment to others 60 days prior to your lease end date or until a new lease is signed. If you do not hear from us, at least 60 days prior to your lease expiration, please contact us.
