Frequently Asked Questions

Each resident signs their own lease for their specific bedroom. So, if a roommate moves out, the other residents are not responsible for that person’s rent. Please note that common areas are shared spaces.

A rental installment is a payment made as part of a series of payments. To simplify the billing process, the entire sum of the housing contract is divided into equal installments. Instead of reducing the first installment and increasing the remaining installments, all installments are equal. These installments are factored into the start and end dates of the lease, including proration.

Rent is due the first of each month and may be paid online by ACH, debit, or credit card through the resident portal or by check or money order at the leasing office. No cash accepted. Convenience fees may be charged for online payments. Late fees vary by property. Refer to your Housing Contract for more information.
