Leasing & Application

How do I apply for an apartment?

Click "Apply Now" select a lease term and floor plan, and complete the online application. If applying with roommates, ensure you all select the same floor plan.

What do I need to apply?

In order to guarantee your bed space, we will need a signed lease agreement. Leases are generated once your application is complete, and your screening has been approved.

Do I need a guarantor?

Most applicants require a guarantor, aside from any student loans, to meet the income requirement and ensure you can 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.

How long does approval take?

Typically 24-48 hours, depending on how quickly your guarantor submits their application.

No, but you may relet your apartment by finding a new resident who must pass our screening and sign a new lease.
