you explore this option, under no circumstances, will you be
allowed to drill any holes into the roof or any masonry of the

We hope you have a positive experience with ICM. If you
know of anyone looking for an apartment please refer them to
us. If they rent with us we will send you a $300.00 referral
bonus. Even after you move out of an ICM building, you will
still be eligible to receive a referral Fee. The tenant you
refer must list you as the referring party on their application,
sign a year lease, move-in and have a balance of $0.00.
Referral checks can usually be mailed out after the tenant has
lived in our building for 45 to 60 days. Please
note ICM does not pay a referral fee for sublets or if
you change a roommate.
You will receive a lease extension in the mail approximately 90
days prior to your lease expiration date. There will be

renew no later than 60 days prior to your lease expiration date. If
you do not inform ICM of your plans to renew, ICM will assume that
you are moving. If you do not receive a lease extension in the
mail, please contact ICM immediately.

please drop them off at the ICM main office by no later than
