FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
LEASING
-
What does individual leasing mean?
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 a shared space.
-
What are rental installments? Why is my rent not prorated?
A rental installment is a payment made as part of a series of payments. To simplify the billing process, we divide the entire sum of the housing contract 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. Wherever ‘Monthly’ is stated or referred to on leasing materials, the website, or a third-party service, it refers to ‘installments,’ which means Installment amounts are for 12 equal payments.
