What if I need to cancel my lease?
Once a lease is singed, you are responsible for your lease.
There is a clause in your lease entitled Assignment that explains that you can find someone to take over your lease and 'assign' it someone else. There is a $200 fee to assign your lease to someone else. You would bring that person into the office. Once that person signs a lease with the office, pays their next installment, and moves in, we will then release you from your lease. Depending on availability, we may or may not be able to assist you in finding someone to take over your lease.

Apartments are assigned by the staff, however you may request all or just some of your roommates. We will accommodate your requests as best as we can dependant upon availability.

The College Inn can house just under 450 residents.

How much more does it cost to stay here than on campus?
It is difficult to compare the costs of on campus living and The College Inn. We offer an on-site pool, fitness center, a tanning bed and a 24 hour clubhouse at your disposal. In addition, every resident here has their own bedroom and will only share a bathroom with a maximum of one other person. It's an individual decision and you would have to weigh the benefits of each option.

Will you send me a bill each month for rent?
Rent is due the first of each month and is considered late on the morning of the 6th. Every resident is given a copy of their lease, which details when and how much money is due. Monthly statements are not sent out.

If I am over 21, do I need to have a guarantor?
Yes, our guarantor form must be completed by all residents.

When is my first payment due?
The first of 12 installments for fall move in is due July 15th for the August 16, 2008 move in date. If you are moving in at a time other than in August, your payment is due before you move in; this will be determined at the time of lease signing.

If I pay in full, do I get a discount?
There is no discount if you pay in full, only peace of mind for the entire year. On the flip side, we do not charge interest to space your 'total rent' out over a 12 month period.
