Am I liable as a guarantor after my son or daughter leaves but their roommates stay behind?
Yes! The personal guaranty remains in effect until ALL residents vacate and the apartment is surrendered empty and free of everyone. This means that you could be held financially liable for persons that you did not intend to personally guaranty when you signed the guarantor agreement.
Will my daughter/son and I get a separate lease from the others in our group?
No, there is one lease for each home. All applicants will sign the same lease and have joint and several liability. they treat student leases the same as they do any lease.

If you have a FICO score, the minimum score is 630, and if employed, the minimum total annual income accepted is 3 times the monthly rent. Your income can also include liquid assets. Please contact your leasing agent for more details.
The person I am guaranteeing for does not have credit. Do you still need to screen them?
To be fair, firm, and consistent they run the same screening on everyone the age of 18+ who applies to live here. If you are going to be an occupant or guarantor of one of our homes, they will run a screening that may include credit and rental background.
I’m an international traveler, expat, or foreign student. Can I still be approved?
Yes, prospective renters with no US credit score are eligible for lease coverage. If you are an international student, you'll most likely need a Responsible Party to apply.
