3. Is there a lease deposit and is it refundable?

The deposit is one and one-half times the monthly rental rate. It is completely refundable, provided that you fulfill the terms of the lease agreement and return the apartment to us in as clean and undamaged a condition as when you take possession. It may not be applied to the monthly rents.

4. Do you accept pets?

Sorry, no. Assistive animals with persons requiring such assistance are excepted with prior approval from management.  

   

5. What other restrictions are there?

• No personal contact for business or profit on the premises.
• No excessive noise or nuisance. Most residents are grad students and working professionals who require a peaceful environment.
• Occupancy is limited to persons approved by us in writing prior to their residency.
• Other miscellaneous policies are addressed in our lease agreement and rules.

6. What type of parking is available?

Neighborhood restricted parallel street parking is available for a $2.50 annual charge.

 

 

7. Is there air conditioning or evaporative cooling?

Air conditioning. Actually, heating and cooling is by new (June, 2007) high-efficiency heat pump. Since one thermostat controls both, you decide if and when heating or cooling is needed year-round.

 

 

8. What appliances are included?

Frost free refrigerators and electric ranges with ovens. There are no built-in dishwashers, since the 1940 cabinets (with ceramic tile counter tops) are slightly too short for today's machines. A "portable" dishwasher could be used, but might need to be moved to another room when not in use.

9. Is there a laundry?

There is a private coin-operated laundry across the street for the exclusive use of Hawthorne Manor and residents of the neighboring property. 

In addition, each of the Hawthorne Manor cottages have hookups inside to accommodate a "stacked" washer/dryer.  That room can alternatively be used as an additional clothes closet.

10. Are there window coverings?
Yes, mini blinds are provided.

11. What type of floor coverings are there?

All cottages have brick or no-wax tile in the kitchens and ceramic or brick in the baths and polished concrete, brick or neutral carpeting in the other rooms.

 

12. Are there private, fenced yards?

Yes. These vary in size depending upon the apartment. All have gates that can be locked with your own padlock. Note: the yard at the small one-bedroom cottage comfortably provides additional outdoor living area.

13. Who takes care of yard maintenance?

We take care of the common areas and you are required to maintain your private fenced yard in a neat, clean and weed-free manner.

14. Are there covered porches?

Yes. All provide an attractive outdoor area for sitting, potted plants, etc.

   

15. What's the neighborhood like?

The Sam Hughes neighborhood dates back to the early 1920's and is recognized as one of Tucson's more stable central-city residential areas. The residents feel that the neighborhood is unique because of its proximity to the U of A, Himmel Park Library, an excellent elementary school (Sam Hughes) and a variety of shops and services. It is known for its bike routes, recreational facilities, pleasant areas for walking and jogging and generally quiet, settled environment.
