Frequently Asked Questions
What is a guarantor?
A guarantor is an individual that signs a lease agreement along with a renter promising to uphold the lease agreement in the event a renter defaults on their financial obligations. The guarantor can be a parent, spouse, extended family member, or a friend but will need to be in good financial standing and pass all necessary screenings.
Will I need a guarantor for my lease?
If you do not meet the qualifying criteria when applying individually (proving you make 2 times the monthly rent) or fail to pass our background and credit check then you will need a guarantor or to pay the entire lease term up front.
If I don’t have a guarantor, how can I still qualify to live here?
If you are not a student and do not qualify individually or have a guarantor to sign with, we’ve partnered with Leap, a lease guaranty service, to offer an additional way to qualify. Visit LeapEasy.com to learn more!
If you are a student, you can enroll in our Guarantor Waiver Program through your online application. The cost for this service is to be paid directly to the property with your monthly installment amount. Please contact the property directly for detailed instructions on how to select this option on the online application.
Do I need to be a student to live here?
No! As long as you meet our qualifying criteria you do not need to be a student to live here!
What’s included in the rate?
Water, trash, and sewer services are included in your monthly rental installment.
Do the apartments and townhomes come furnished?
Yes, our apartments and townhomes are fully-furnished and include a full-size bed, desk, desk chair, couch, armchair, flat screen TV (apartments only), and dining furniture.
How do the installments work?
Our Resident Housing Contracts are installment based, in which a total contract amount can be paid in full at the beginning of the lease, in two semester installments, or in 12 equal monthly payments. If you’ve chosen the option to submit the total contract amount in 12 monthly payments, each of those installments are due on the 1st of each month, including August 1st and September 1st.
Is there parking available?
Yes! We offer reserved parking spots for residents but please note that spaces are limited. Contact our office for availability and rates!
Are the apartments pet-friendly?

Do you offer roommate matching?
We offer a comprehensive roommate matching form that our dedicated staff thoroughly evaluate to find the most compatible roommates.
Do I need renters insurance?
Yes, we require tenant liability coverage during the lease term, with $100,000 minimum coverage. Here are the approved ways to meet this requirement:
1. Sign up with our partner, ePremium Insurance, for a policy that also includes coverage of your personal belongings.
2. Provide your own 3rd-party insurance policy.
What is Individual Leasing?
Individual Leasing, also called “by the bedroom leasing”, means that you are only responsible for your bedroom, bathroom, and shared common area. If another roommate decides to skip, sublet/lease-takeover, or damage the apartment in any way they are liable for the rent and damages in their individual space, unlike in joint leases.
