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, the entire sum of the housing contract is divided 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.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO MY NEW APARTMENT?

While the furniture and appliances are included, below is a guide to help you with the personal belongings that you will need to provide:

COMMON AREA : Electronics and corresponding cords/adapters, décor, trash can, trash bags, pots and pans, plates, cups, eating/serving utensils, coffee maker. Cleaning/disinfecting supplies, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, etc.

HOW LONG ARE YOUR LEASES?

  • Our leases are typically for one full year in length, beginning in September and ending in August, or beginning in May and ending in April.

MY LEASE IS UP, WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

  • You can choose to renew for another fixed term one year lease, or move to a month to month lease.

    A fixed-term tenancy means you have an agreement to live in a unit for at least a certain length of time. The agreement is called the lease, and the length of time is called the term. In our case, month-to-month means after August 31st if you would like to leave you will need to provide a written 60 days’ notice. You do not have to sign an extension lease but if you would like to be on a fixed lease we can provide you with one.

CAN I MOVE OUT BEFORE MY LEASE ENDS? (SUBLETS & ASSIGNMENTS)

  • We understand that you may experience life events that mean you need to move out early. For either scenario below, be sure to email us for more details.

    Scenario 1:

    You need to move out and you are not planning on coming back to the unit:

    • You will want to complete an Assignment of your lease to a new person. The new person must submit an application and be approved for the unit like you were. Once approved, the new person becomes a tenant and is fully responsible for all obligations in the lease. If they are not approved, you are still responsible for paying the monthly rent until another suitable person is found.

    Scenario 2:

    You are moving out for a short time (i.e. going on exchange), but will be moving back into the unit when you return:

    • You will want to sublet your apartment for the time you are away. You are fully responsible for your subtenant, and must still continue to pay the rent. If you subtenant damages the unit or does not pay you – you are still responsible to pay the rent and to pay the cost of the damages.
    • Be advised that you are not allowed to charge your subtenant more than the legal rent you pay to Unity.
HOW DO I USE THE DISHWASHER IN MY APARTMENT?
AFTER-HOUR SERVICE (EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE)

  • Please call 343-688-1300 for after-hour emergencies.

    i.e.

    • Full loss of power for entire apartment
    • Flood, leak, or pipe burst
    • Locked out of building, apartment, or bedroom
