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 apartments with multiple leaseholders.

Do you allow couples?

Couples are welcome to rent individual rooms within the same apartment. We do not offer double occupancy in the same bedroom.

How do I apply for a room/apartment?

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/apartment?

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.

View all Questions (63)

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 you provide summer accommodations?

Summer accommodations may be available based on availability. Be sure to contact our team in advance to explore summer housing options. Additional fees may apply.

Can I sublet my room for the summer?

Residents have the option of reletting their bed space at any time if they plan to move out before the end of the lease. A relet is different than a sublease. Reletting relinquishes the resident from the lease agreement. It requires the individual taking over the bed space to undergo the screening process and meet our approval criteria.

Do I need to have a US-based guarantor?

Yes, all guarantors must have a US social security number and credit history in order to be screened. We do not accept non-US citizens as guarantors.

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 12 equal installments which are billed on the 1st of the month along with any fees, such as pet fees.

What is the payment plan for rent?

Is a TV provided?

How can I pay my rent?

The easiest way to pay your monthly installment is through our Resident Portal. This is accessible through a link on the website and residents can download the Resident Portal app on their phones for mobile usage. 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 used as qualifying income for applicants. How a resident chooses to pay their rent rent once approved is up to the individual resident to decide but we do not allow for payment plans based on student loan availability or distribution timing. 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 accept credit cards?

Yes, we accept all major credit cards for installment payments. Fees vary by card provider.

Can I use PayPal?

No, we do not accept PayPal for installment payments.

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 from these questions to pair you with roommates in your selected floorplan and self-identified gender that we think will be a match.

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.

Is there somewhere to park when I am unpacking?

Please contact the onsite team and review your move-in directions for information on where to park when you arrive at the community and are ready to begin unpacking.

Will there be someone to collect my keys from?

Yes, reference the move-in direction for information on where to go and when to arrive in order to pick-up your keys on move-in day.

Yes, you can personalize your room. We just ask that you are conscious of not doing damage to the room beyond normal wear-and-tear. Damages such as holes larger than a quarter must be addressed prior to your move-out or you will be charged for the cost of repairing the damages.

Are there laundry facilities?

Yes, each apartment is equipped with in-unit laundry facilities.

Who is responsible for cleaning my room?

Most work orders are completed within 24 hours.

What happens once I have reported maintenance?

After reporting a maintenance need a member of our maintenance team will review the ticket and reach out if entry confirmation is needed. While submitting the ticket, residents have the option of allowing entry to their unit/bedroom for the work order to be completed or request that entry be confirmed prior to the work order being addressed. Most work orders can be completed in a single visit but sometimes a part order is required.

How do I report a maintenance issue after hours?

After-hours maintenance requests can also be submitted via the Resident Portal app. In the event of an emergency work order, such as flooding, please call the property phone number and our after-hours call service will contact the on-call maintenance team member. For life-threatening emergencies, such as a fire, residents should also contact 9-1-1.

Who can I speak to if I have a personal problem?

Our onsite management team is available to speak with residents regarding problems with their roommates, financial hardships that are impacting their ability to make installment payments, or other in-unit or community concerns.

Can I cancel my lease or leave early?

We do not allow for lease cancellations. Once your application is approved, the screening is completed and the lease is signed, all parties – including the tenant and the property – are bound by the terms of the lease agreement.

Yes, the application is entirely online and can be viewed in advance of completing all of the required information. Simply click the “Apply Now” button and create an account.
