	Every resident is automatically enrolled in the program. Enrollment is free – there are no resident enrollment fees. No minimum length of residency is required, although the resident must fulfill their first full lease term—whatever length that is—to be eligible to use their SmartRent credits. SmartRent credits accrue based on rent amount and number of months of residency. Residents must fulfill their term of lease and be in good standing. They must be current with their financial obligations to Marquette Management and must follow the proper procedures for terminating their lease, whether it is at lease end or mid-lease. The SmartRent program may be changed or cancelled at any time without notice. As part of the SmartRent program requirements, residents must use the services of a real estate agent from Ryan Hill Realty who is part of the SmartRent service program when using their SmartRent credits with a participating builder. SmartRent credits can be used with any participating SmartRent builder. Credits on the SmartRent Certificate translate into credits or discounts given from the builder to the buyer. SmartRent credits can be used in conjunction with any other published participating builder offers. Certificate must be presented to the participating builder by purchaser’s real estate agent from Ryan Hill Realty at the time the purchase agreement is signed. SmartRent Credits CAN be transferred to another individual. The Renter has the ability to designate all or a portion of their SmartRent Credits to another individual for the purpose of purchasing. SmartRent Credits can only be redeemed by following the rules of the program. As part of the SmartRent program requirements, residents must use the services of a Lender who is part of the SmartRent Preferred Lender program when using their SmartRent credits with a participating builder. Once a purchase agreement is signed no additional rent credits can be applied to the purchase. SmartRent credits do continue to accrue until the resident physically moves off the property for use on a future property or to gift to friends or family. Unused SmartRent credits can be assigned to other people that the resident designates but must be assigned and used within 180 days from resident’s move out. Roommates earn credits independently based on the total rent for the apartment. SmartRent credits transfer with the resident and continue to accrue if they move to any other participating Marquette Management property. SmartRent credits are valid for 180 days from the date that a resident moves out of a Marquette Management property. If the Owner of the Marquette Managed property sells a property, residents of that property have one year from the date of sale to use their rent credits with participating builders. SmartRent credits cannot be used for a down payment. The participating builder determines how credits are applied to the purchase of the new home, but they must honor all credits up to the maximum percentage allowed. If a resident has credits valued at more than the maximum percentage of the purchase price, the credits/discount is limited to the maximum.

Q: How do I sign up for SmartRent?

A: Every resident who rents in an eligible community is automatically enrolled. You do not have to do anything to enroll!

Q: Do I get credit for the entire
time I’ve been renting?

A: Once you sign a lease with an eligible Marquette rental community, credits representing 20% of every dollar of rent you have paid while living in an eligible community will be “banked” in your Smart Rent account. Current residents’ credits will be retroactive to the original date they started renting at an eligible Marquette community.

Q: What happens to the credits
if I move out of an eligible property?

A: If you move into another qualified Marquette rental community, your SmartRent credits move with you. Should you choose to move outside of the eligible communities, after 180 days your SmartRent credits will be forfeited.

Q: How soon can I use my SmartRent credits
to purchase a home?

A: SmartRent credits are available for use after your first full lease term.

Q: How many credits can I apply
to a down payment?

A: None. SmartRent credits cannot be used for a down payment. They are for the reduction of purchase price (where allowed), closing costs, upgrades or assessments where applicable.

Q: What if I don’t want to buy?
How can I take advantage of the program?

A: Even if you don’t want to buy, you can still use the credits, which you may share with anyone you choose. Help family and/or friends buy their home by being able to assign credits up to 3% of the purchase price, depending on where they buy. Your ability to share credits within these guidelines is only limited by the total number of credits you have accrued. You may share with as many people as you choose! This feature is exclusively available through Marquette Management.

Q: If I give my Smart Rent credits to my son so he can buy a home, and I continue to rent, do I still accrue credits?

A: Yes! You accrue credits for as long as you pay rent to an eligible community!

Q: Can I use my own realtor?

A: No. Because we offer the benefit of skilled realtors available through our preferred relationship with Ryan Hill Realty, SmartRent credits can only be used on purchases made through this brokerage.

Q: What happens if my move is delayed?

A: You have the benefit of being a Marquette resident- we will work with you to ensure that you can extend your stay with us while you are waiting to make the move into the home you buy.
