An individual lease is a per-bed lease. You sign a lease for a bed space in the apartment and share common areas with roommates. This means you are only responsible for your own installments. This allows you to live with roommates without having to worry about whether they’re going to pay on time.

All leases will begin on move-in day and end on May 31st or July 31st. If you choose a May 31st end date, you will be charged a short-term lease premium in addition to your base rent amount.

If you need to get out of your lease early, you can relet your bedroom space by finding somebody to take over the remainder of your lease. The relet fee is a flat rate charge of $500.
You can also terminate your lease by paying a termination fee of two months of base rent upfront. Please contact one of our leasing agents to discuss in detail.

Yes, you can switch floor plans as long as we have the space available. Your rate is subject to change depending on the floor plan you choose. You will be required to sign a new lease to secure the new floor plan. If you decide to switch floor plans before the lease term begins you will not be charged a transfer fee, however; if you decide to transfer floor plans during your lease term you will be charged a transfer fee of $500.

You will be automatically enrolled in our renter’s insurance program, with two policy options to choose from. The first option is property liability coverage for $14.00 per month, and the second is personal liability coverage for $19.23 per month. If you prefer, you can opt out by providing proof of third-party renter’s insurance with at least $100,000 in liability coverage.

Step 1: Fill out an application

Start by filling out our application form. You will need the following information:

• Floor plan you want to lease
• Name, phone number, email address, birth date, and Social Security number of the applicant as well as the name and email address of your guarantor (if you’re using one)
• Photo or scan of an identification document such as a passport, driver’s license, state ID, or active military
• Address of applicant’s current residence
• Bedroom preference and roommate information

Step 2: Sign your lease
After your application is approved, you will automatically be emailed a link to sign your lease. Once our management team countersigns your lease, you will be notified via email and receive a digital copy of your completed lease through your resident portal.

Step 3: Get email updates
Once your lease is completed, you will get email notifications with more information on topics such as events, move-ins, and property updates.

One-time fees

• Application fee (non-refundable) – $50 – This fee covers the cost of the background checks we run in order to approve your application, including the screening of one guarantor. This fee is due upon submission of your electronic application.
• Administrative fee (non-refundable) – $150 – Residents will be charged a one-time service fee for administration, billing, bill auditing, and overhead and similar expenses and charges to be incurred by the Landlord for the Term of this Lease.
• Security Deposit (refundable) – equal to one month’s rent – You will only be charged this fee if you will not be using a guarantor for the leasing process. This fee is due upon move-in and is refundable at the end of the lease term. Once you move out, we will need your forwarding address in order for us to mail you your security deposit check.

Monthly fees

• Pet fee – $35/month per pet. There is a one-time, non-refundable pet deposit of $250.

The application fee is due when your application is submitted. All other fees are not due until
move-in.

A guarantor is a co-signer for your lease agreement who takes financial responsibility if you are unable to pay rent or other charges. Most students do not have an income, so having a guarantor allows us to qualify you for a lease based on your guarantor’s income.

You will list the name and email of your guarantor during the application process, and your guarantor will receive an email to fill out their portion of the application.

In order for a guarantor to qualify, they must meet the following qualifications:

1. Must earn 2.5x the monthly installment
2. Must not have filed for bankruptcy in the past seven years
3. Must have a credit score of 600

A guarantor is required unless you qualify on your own based on credit and income criteria. Additionally, guarantors must complete a guarantor agreement and meet specific financial requirements.

You are not required to have a guarantor. If you choose to self-qualify, you will need to pay a security deposit equivalent to one month’s rent. This option provides flexibility for those who prefer not to involve a guarantor.

For applicants who do not have a credit history in the US and/or a guarantor, our team recommends proceeding with our security deposit option which will equal one month’s rent upfront.

Additionally, applicants who are citizens of another country must provide at least two of the following:

1. A Passport
2. INS document that entitles the applicant to be in the United States
3. Proof of employment in the United States
4. I-20 verifying student status or proof of enrollment

Yes, you can still live here if you’re under 18! You’ll need a parent or guarantor who is over 18 to complete the application and leasing process with you. We have a special Under 18 Lease Agreement designed for residents who are not yet 18. This agreement ensures that all legal
requirements are met for your lease.

We’re here to assist you through the process, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!

Yes, we do offer roommate matching! As part of the application process, there’s a roommate section where we ask a series of questions about your major, hobbies, and lifestyle preferences.
We encourage applicants to fill these out honestly so we can pair you with roommates who share similar interests and habits.

Yes, we offer on-site parking:

1. Parking Garage: Located directly connected to the building, available for $250 per month.

To guarantee a parking spot, you must sign a parking addendum, which is added to your lease agreement. Parking IS NOT guaranteed without this addendum.
