AppFolio is the online system/app we use to manage your rental account and make things easier for you as a resident. Think of it as your one-stop portal for everything related to your apartment. Through your personal AppFolio portal you are able to pay rent, create maintenance requests, view your lease, and check your balance.

Each rental property is different regarding which utilities must be placed in the tenants name. The AppFolio listing describes which utilities you will need to place in your name and which will be billed back to you through your online portal.

If you need contact information for local utility companies, you can find them here:

• Penelec (Electric) - 800-545-7741

• National Fuel (Gas) - 814-871-8200
