Changing the Name or Address of an Apartment Complex

[Keith Meyer]

When looking to rebrand a value-add apartment complex, often a property name change is involved, and even sometimes an address change is involved. What are the steps you take to effectively change the name? I've not been able to find much information in the specific markets where we're implementing this change. Here's what we've done in the past, I'd love to hear additional thoughts:

1. Change sign on property, and inform residents of change

2. Reach out to state secretary of state to see if any dba "doing business as" changes are needed. Update dba with bank in order to deposit rent checks

3. Reach out to let police and fire department know of changes so they can effectively respond to calls

4. Update Google Places/Maps with name change 

If anyone has gone through an address change, I'd be interested in hearing the steps involved with that process.
