What is an individual lease?
An individual lease is a per-bed lease. You sign a lease for a bed in the apartment and share common areas with roommates. This allows you to live with roommates without having to worry about whether they’re going to pay on time. You also have the option to sign a traditional lease, so you can choose whichever works for you.
What is the process to match roommates?
If you’re looking for a roommate, fill out our roommate-matching questionnaire online when you sign your lease. We’ll use that information to match you and your future roommate. If you already have a roommate selected, we can help sort out the details with that, too!
