What is an individual lease?
An individual lease provides each resident with their own separate lease agreement and responsibility for only his/her rental installments and parking charges. By signing an individual lease, you are only taking responsibility for your rental installments and lease terms and will not be held liable for any delinquent amounts owed by your roommate(s). The individual lease agreements protects you in the event your roommates cannot make their payments, or if they leave their lease agreement early.
How long is the lease agreement?
The lease term is 11.5 months; the current lease term ends July 21st. The upcoming Fall lease term begins August 16, 2023 and ends July 25, 2023.
How do I sign my lease?
A lease contract is only valid if the primary lease holder (the resident) signs the documents. If there is a guarantor, the guarantor must also sign the lease. Aspire 349 will then countersign after all parties sign all documents.
How do I know if I qualify?
Future residents can qualify on their own or with a guarantor. If the resident cannot qualify on their own or find a Guarantor, we have partnered with The Guarantors to provide an alternative solution. Prospects who are interested can apply free of charge on their website: www.theguarantors.com/renters.
