What does it mean to have an individual lease?
Individual leasing means that each person is only responsible for their portion of the common areas and their bedroom. If your roommate ends up not coming back for the next Quarter, you’re not responsible for their payment.

Please call our leasing office to discuss other installment options and due dates.

I’m an international student – what documentation do I need to provide?
International students will need to provide a copy of their student visa in the application. In lieu of the guarantor requirements, you may opt to prepay your last 2 installments of the lease prior to move-in.

Yes – we can accommodate after-hours move-ins! We just ask that you coordinate with our leasing team in advance so we can make sure everything is set up and ready or you.
