What is an individual lease?
An individual lease, also known as a by-the-bedroom lease, means you are only responsible for the rent of your bedroom. Unlike joint leases, you are not liable for any unpaid rent owed by your roommates.
Lease Term and Rental Installment- what is an installment and when do I pay?
The typical lease term is approximately 11.5 months of occupancy which coincides with the university’s academic calendar. The resident is charged a total rent amount for the contracted occupancy period. The lease agreement will reflect the total rent amount typically divided into 12 equal installments due August 1 - July 1. These installments do not represent a monthly rent amount and are not prorated
Do we need Renter’s insurance?
Our company requires that all residents have $100k liability coverage. For your convenience, we offer a plan to fulfill this requirement. The cost for this plan is $17 per person per month (through 2026). You may waive this coverage if you already have liability insurance through another provider however, you must submit a copy of your policy for review so we can ensure it meets our property requirements. Opting out of plan coverage and submission of an alternative policy must be done within our portal https://portal.confirminsurance.com/s/.
We also offer Personal Contents Coverage (PCON) for $5.50 per person per month (through 2026). Though this is not mandatory, if you would like to waive this coverage you must opt out of the plan within our portal https://hra.confirminsurance.com/ppp-opt-out.

What is an RV Index?
The RV Index is a risk score based on several factors. It is an innovative move in qualifying criteria used to screen and qualify applicants and guarantors. By using this inclusive index opposed to our prior practice, we take a step toward future industry standards of fair practice. Depending on your property, an RV index of 40 or 50 will need to be achieved. Instead of just credit score and income, the index looks at several factors such as:
1. Payment history on all trade lines
2. Ratio of rent to income
3. Ratio of debt to income
4. Collections
5. Ratio of positive to negative credit lines
How do I register a vehicle?
Visitor cars must be in designated visitor parking and be registered at register2park.com every 24 hours they are here. Resident vehicles must be registered by informing our office and requesting a new sticker. You can call or stop by in person to register a new vehicle and receive your updated sticker. The resident portal does not register vehicles with our towing company.
How do I renew my lease?
You can renew your lease online from your resident portal!
If I renew, do I have to move out and then move back in?
No, you don't have to move out and back in if you renew. You can just stay in your apartment!
