At the time of application, residents are automatically enrolled in the Resident Liability Program at $15 per month. This is the simplest and most cost-effective way to satisfy the insurance requirements of your lease. The resident liability program is not renters insurance and does not cover personal property contents or liability coverage to third parties (other residents). Residents have the option to opt-out of the program by supplying their valid third-party renter's insurance policy to MillCreek.ConfirmInsurance.com.

We're also excited to announce that we are now accepting payments with Flex.
With Flex, you choose when and how you pay rent. Each month, Flex splits your rent into two payments: you pay part of your total rent up front and finance the rest with a Flex credit line. You have the flexibility to choose your second payment date to better align with your finances.
For questions about Flex Payments, please contact their customer support team by hitting “Contact Us” in the Flex app, or visiting their website at help.getflex.com.
Rent is due on the first of the month, with a grace period extending to the third day of each month. Late fees will start on the fourth day of each month.
Please note that listing your rental home on platforms like Airbnb and VRBO is not permitted as per the rental agreement. We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining the integrity and safety of our community.

Yes — and we're glad you asked! At Mill Creek Residential, we believe pets are part of the family. That's why all residents are asked to complete a quick pet profile through PetScreening.com.
Even if you don't have a household pet, this step is required and helps us create a welcoming community for every resident.
🐾 Have a pet? There’s a $30 fee per household pet profile.
🐾 No pet or have an assistance animal? No fee required—just complete the profile so we have your info on file. Your lease process may be delayed if this step isn’t complete, so we recommend checking it off your list early!
