Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of an individual lease?

With an individual lease, also called by the bedroom lease, you are responsible for your own monthly rent and the regular upkeep of your part of the apartment. Unlike conventional joint leases, you are not responsible for any delinquent amounts owed by your roommates. This means if a roommate moves out early or misses a payment, all other residents are not responsible for making up the difference.

What is a rental installment?

The rental installment is your monthly payment for rent. They do not prorate rent, rather you are charged a total rent amount for the lease term divided into equal installments. Rent is due on the 1st of each month.

What is included in the rental installment?

Your rental installment includes furniture, water, sewer, trash, and high-speed internet. Any other fees such as parking, pet fees, or electricity, will be a separate charge.

What about utilities?

Your utilities, electricity, and water/sewer, will be set up and ready to go the day you move in. Each apartment will be metered for your actual usage and they'll divide the bills up for each roommate.

Will I need a guarantor to lease an apartment?

Unless your income is greater than 3 times the rental installment, you will need a guarantor or qualify with their Leap program.
