financial aid and scholarship funds toward your housing. We accept
rental payments in the following forms: money order, cashier’s
check, personal check, or credit cards and checks online.
Will you send me a bill for rent?
No, we do not invoice for
recurring rent charges. It is your responsibility to pay rent on
the first of each month. The first rent payment is due early on
July 15th.
If I am over 21, do I need to have a guarantor?
No, If you cannot qualify on your
own, you have the option to add a guarantor or use our LEAP service
for a fee of $50. LEAP will act as a guarantor on your behalf and
may require a deposit.
If you sign your lease with a guarantor, you do not have to pay a deposit. Your guarantor must be at least 25 and preferably a family member. The guarantor must reside in the United States. If the guarantor is not a family member, they must show proof of income (they must make three times the rental amount).
