Two Flexible Ways to Pay:
( 1. ) - Monthly Payments
( 2. ) - Semester or Two Payment Plan - Pays for the entire lease in two payments( save about 1 weeks rent)
Flexible All Inclusive Plan
available - Firwood will pay your Electric, Gas, Cable, Road Runner,
and / or Phone. The cost of this is added to your monthly rent and the actual cost is adjusted
at the end of your lease. This is a break even program that saves you the hassle of establishing
these services in your name then dividing and collecting from roommates. (a $3 monthly service charge applies)
