Do I need to be a student to live here?

​Our community is open to all qualified applicants, and you do not need to be a student to live here. Please keep in mind that we lease individually by the bedroom rather than by the apartment.

What is a lease installment?

​A lease installment is the fixed monthly rent payment for the duration of your lease. The total lease amount is divided into 12 equal installments, due on the 1st of each month. Rent is not prorated.

Can I request specific roommates or apartments?

​Absolutely. We understand how important it is to feel comfortable in your home, so you’re welcome to request a specific roommate or apartment. While requests aren’t guaranteed, our team will always do their best to accommodate your preferences. If your requested apartment is available, assignments are made based on lease signing order.

Do you offer roommate matching?

​Don’t have a roommate lined up? No problem! Roommate preferences are part of the application process, and you’ll be matched with a compatible roommate based on your responses.

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 Boom?

​Build your credit by paying your rent on time! Boom is a service that enables you to build your credit by simply paying your rent on time. This means no loans, no credit cards, and no high-interest rates. Pay your rent on time each month and Boom will take care of the rest. Please let the office know if you have any questions! 

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
