The links below are helpful resources or responses to frequently asked questions that you might need as a tenant of Hill Properties.  Of course, if this page does not answer your questions, please contact me by phone or email.

 move-in inventory In the first three days of occupancy, you should complete a move-in inventory.  In your inventory, you should note any issues from the previous leasehold for which you do not wish to be held accountable.  Upon completion, submit your inventory and I will sign and deliver a copy of this inventory to keep with your lease. 
repairs If you are having problems with your apartment you may use our repair request form to explain your situation.  Your problem will be forwarded to the management and repair staff.  If you have a pressing problem such as a water leak or no heating or air conditioning, please call the above number. 
pets We do rent to tenants with pets.  We have begun to refinish the concrete slab floors at The Quarters and Mesquite Square and we will rent these apartments to pet owners - no offense to you or your pet, but we don't like to lease apartments that have a lingering smell of urine in the carpet. Occasionally, if the apartment has worn-out carpet that needs replacement, we will get one more wear from it by renting it to pet owner. 
smoking  Please don't inquire about one of our apartments if you smoke - outside or inside, it makes no difference to us. We do still have few smokers on the property - they are grandfathered as they begin their leasehold prior to our ownership.  Our policy is not discriminatory as smokers are not a protected class and our justification of this policy can be read on this site.
cable television Cable television is provided at all three properties free-of-charge.  This service is provided by Suddenlink and offers extended basic cable consisting of channels 2-21, 23-66, and 70.  If you are having a problem with cable service, call Suddenlink at 325.698.3585.
satellite guidelines We do not allow satellite television antennas at The Quarters and Hillcrest House.  If you live at Mesquite Square, please consult our guidelines to make sure that you antenna is installed correctly.
electric utilities When you start electric service you will need your ES ID number.  We have ES ID numbers for Hillcrest House, Mesquite Square, and The Quarters archived on this site.  Also, you can choose your electric company by comparing rates on the Texas power deregulation website to find the most inexpensive provider by zip code. Hillcrest House and Mesquite Square are in the 79601 zip code and The Quarters is in the 79605 zip code.
dsl instructions If you are a tenant at The Quarters, we provide DSL internet as a benefit of your leasehold. We provide all the necessary equipment and connection is easy with an Ethernet cable after you configure your computer with our DSL instruction.  
mail delivery Each apartment will be provided one key to an assigned mailbox at move-in.  If you are moving to or from another address, you can request a change of address through the USPS website.  Also, if you plan to be gone for an extended period, you can request that your mail be held until you return through the same site.
privacy policy We have a defined policy to ensure that you privacy is maintained and to safeguard the information you provided at the outset of your tenancy.
lease documents All leases and rental agreements are archived among these lease forms if you would like to review them before signing or if you lost them and wish to see their content.  All these forms are java scripted so that personal information can be entered to create leases.
