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.

What is a guarantor?

A guarantor acts as a co-signer and financial supporter of the lease contract. This person will need to meet the income and credit requirements from the qualifications above to be approved.

How long does it take to get approved?

Most applications are approved within 24-48 hours.

Can I pay my rent with a student loan?

Student loans cannot be used as qualifying income for applicants.

Can I come and visit?

Yes, and they hope you do! Their operating hours vary by the day of the week but are listed on the website for reference. Prospective residents also have the option of scheduling a tour in advance via the contact button on the bottom right-hand corner of the website.

View all Questions (63)

What do you look for in applicants?

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

What does the application process consist of?

As part of the online application process, you’ll provide all of the information they need to complete your profile.

What do you need from me to reserve a room/apartment?

In order to guarantee your bed space, they 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. They will need this on file prior to your move-in, so you can save some time by uploading it at the time of application. They will also need proof of income from your guarantor when he/she completes their portion of the application.

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

Most applicants require a guarantor to provide the income verification 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.

Can I sublet my room for the summer?

Yes, all residents have the option of reletting their bed space and can do so during the summer months if they do not plan on occupying their bed space at that time. A relet is different than a sublet. Reletting requires the individual taking over the bed space to go through the same screening process as all other residents and signing a new lease agreement with the community in order to take over the lease for the remainder of the term. This ensures that all residents living on site meet the same qualification standards.

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. They 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 or parking.

What is the payment plan for rent?

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 or parking. Utility charges are posted to resident accounts at the end of the month for the proceeding month’s usage.

Do I pay a deposit?

Deposit requirements vary by applicant and what specials the community is currently offering. Contact the onsite team for information about deposit requirements.

What is the damage deposit for?

Not all communities require a damage deposit. Contact the onsite team to confirm if a damage deposit is required prior to move-in. When charged, this deposit is held until move-out and covers the cost of damages done to the apartment beyond normal wear-and-tear. All residents moving out of the community are provided documentation outlining these damages, including photos for reference.

What’s included in my rent?

Your monthly installment covers the cost of your individual bed space or unit and unit furnishings, depending on your lease agreement. It may also include some utilities such as Wi-Fi and trash collection, depending on the community offerings. Typically, water and electricity are billed separately by the utility provider.

What’s not included in my rent?

Some utilities, such as water and electricity, are typically not included in the monthly installment and are billed separately by the utility provider. Please contact the onsite team to confirm what, if any, utilities are including in your monthly installment.

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.

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.

What is your cancellation policy?

They 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. Residents do have the option of reletting their bed space by finding another resident to take-over the lease term on their behalf. That individual would need to meet the same qualifying criteria and would sign a new lease with the community, taking the place of the cancelled lease.

Do you accept AmEx?

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

Can I use PayPal?

No, they do not accept PayPal for installment payments.

Can I live with my friends?

Yes, as part of the online application you’ll have the ability to add future roommates to your application to create a roommate group. If your friends have already applied, there is also the option of listing their names on the application to ensure you are placed together in the same unit.

Do you provide a roommate matching service?

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

How do you decide who I live with?

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?

They 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. They 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, they do allow for residents to transfer to another unit. Transfer opportunities are dependent upon availability in same-gender units of the same floor plan.

What do I need to bring with me on arrival?

Who is responsible for cleaning my room?

Units are inspected one per quarter to ensure the unit is being kept in livable condition and that any damages caused by the residents don’t lead to unsanitary living conditions.

Who is responsible for cleaning the communal areas?

Roommates are responsible for keeping the common areas of their unit cleaned, as this is a shared space among all of the residents.

Can we have a party?

Gatherings are allowed in the units but all residents must abide by the property rules outlined in the lease agreement. Reference the lease agreement for information on apartment and community guidelines, including the outlined quiet hours.

Can I park on site?

Yes, resident parking is available onsite but requires a property sticker to ensure your car is allowed in resident parking areas. Contact the onsite management team for parking costs, vehicle registration information, and to receive your sticker.

How do I report maintenance?

If you have a maintenance need in your unit, they ask that you submit it as a work order via the Resident Portal app. This allows our team to track maintenance requests and communicate updates to you on the status of the repair and/or replacement as needed, depending on the nature of your work order. 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.

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.

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

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

Are pets allowed?

Pets are allowed at most communities, but policies do vary and a one-time pet fee plus a recurring monthly pet rent is likely required. Please contact the onsite management team for pet limitations and requirements.

Do I need renter’s insurance?

Yes, all residents are required to carry liability insurance per the terms of the lease agreement. B.HOM offers a low-cost liability insurance program that meets the requirements of your lease agreement and can be billed monthly along with your monthly rental installments

Do I have privacy in the apartment?

Who do I contact in the case of an emergency?

Can I move out before my lease ends?

Yes, residents can move out before the lease end date but are still responsible for all monthly installment payments through the end of the lease term.

Can I cancel my lease or leave early?

What is the procedure for getting my deposit back?

Deposits are held to ensure any outstanding charges – including installments, fees, and any damages billed back following move-out – are paid after a resident vacates the unit. The status of the deposit will depend on if these have all been paid by the resident following move-out or if the deposit needs to be accessed in order to cover unpaid charges. Return timing for security deposits vary by the financial services provider holding the security deposit. Please contact the onsite management team for reference on your specific deposit and historical timing of these returns, along with requirements outlined in your lease agreement.

Can I see a sample of the application?
