Frequently Asked Questions

What does by-the-bed mean?

All leases are by-the-bed and per person, on an individual lease agreement. Studio or 1-bed spaces with double occupancy, plus larger floor plans with 2-bedrooms or more, will be shared floor plans with multiple leaseholders. All leaseholders must be 18+ at the time of application. We accept parent/guardian applications on behalf of minors! Give us a call to discuss!

How do I apply for a room?

It’s as easy as clicking “Apply Now” above to get started! First, you’ll select your lease term from the drop-down menu. Then you’ll pick your floor plan and any view or premium options available. If you’re applying to live with roommates, make sure you all select the same floor plan. From there, click “Apply Now” to start your floor plan-specific application.

What do you look for in applicants?

We rent to any applicant who meets our qualifying standards. All residents will undergo a background check and all guarantors will undergo a credit screening and must provide income verification.

What do you need from me to reserve a room?

In order to guarantee your bed space, we will need a signed lease agreement. Leases are generated once your application is complete, and your screening has been approved.

Do I need any special documents or paperwork to submit my application?

While completing your application you will have the ability to upload a copy of your identification. We will need this on file prior to your move-in, so you can save some time by uploading it at the time of application. We will also need proof of income from your guarantor when they complete their portion of the application.

How long does it take to get approved?

Most applications are approved within 24-48 hours.

Do I need a guarantor and what if I can't provide one?

Most applicants require a guarantor to provide the income verification, aside from any student loans, required to meet the income requirement and ensure you are able to make the monthly installment payments. If you do not have a guarantor, you can either try to self-qualify using your own income or apply to use a third-party guarantor service. Please contact the onsite team for information about our third-party guarantor service.

I am not a student, can I still apply?

Yes, all prospective residents are welcome to apply. We rent to any applicant who meets our qualifying standards.

Do I need to have a US-based guarantor?

Guarantors are not required to be a US citizen; however, all guarantors must have a US social security number and credit history in order to be screened.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes, the lease agreement outlines the payment process for the monthly installments. The total rent amount for the lease term is broken up into 10 equal installments which are billed on the 1st of the month along with any fees, such as pet fees or parking.

How can I pay my rent?

The Resident Portal app allows residents to link a bank account or credit/debit card and setup recurring installment payments.

Can I change my rent installment plan?

No, your rent installment plan is specific to your selected floor plan and bedroom type. If you are interested in alternative rates please contact the onsite team to discuss transfer options to another floor plan or bedroom type.

Can I pay my rent with a student loan?

Student loans cannot be considered as qualifying income for applicants. Once approved, residents can choose how to pay their rent, but we do not permit payment plans based on the availability or timing of student loan disbursements. All monthly rent installments are due on the 1st of the month.

What if I don’t pay?

Residents who do not make the monthly installment payment are subject to receiving late fees or fines starting on the 4th of the month for late payment. If non-payment continues, residents may be subject to eviction per the terms of the lease agreement.

Do you provide a roommate matching service?

Yes, we provide a roommate-matching service. Part of the application involves a roommate questionnaire where we ask about your academic focus, study habits, and social life. We use the answers to these questions to pair you with roommates on your selected floorplan and a self-identified gender that we think will be a match.

We use a roommate matching service in our property management software. Part of the application involves a roommate questionnaire where we ask about your academic focus, study habits, and social life.

What should I prepare for if one of my roommates is moving out?

If one of your roommates is moving out there is nothing that you’ll need to do because each resident is on his or her own individual lease agreement.

How are resident disputes handled?

When resident disputes do arise the onsite management team will host a roommate mitigation, meeting with all involved roommates individually and/or as a group to help resolve the matter and come to a mutually agreed upon solution. As needs arise, we do allow for resident transfers to a new unit.

Can I choose which room I live in within the residence?

We do not allow for selection of an individual bedroom within a unit. The individual lease agreement is for a specific floor plan and – depending on the floor plan – bedroom type, not for a specific unit or bedroom. We do take bedroom preferences into account when placing residents, but all future roommates must agree to the preference.

Can I change rooms if I am unhappy with my allocated roommate?

Yes, if roommate mitigation efforts have been unsuccessful, we do allow for residents to transfer to another unit. Transfer opportunities are dependent upon availability in same-gender units of the same floor plan.

For life-threatening emergencies, such as a fire, residents should also contact 9-1-1.
