What is individual leasing? With individual leases, you are only responsible for your individual rent (or as guarantor, of your applicants). You aren't liable for your roommates' rent at all! Unlike a traditional lease or a joint lease, if your roommate transfers, graduates, or fails to pay his/her rent, it does not affect you or your lease. College students have enough to worry about; an individual lease is one less thing!
Do I need renter's insurance? We do require all residents to carry an active renter's insurance policy during their lease term.

Do you pro-rate august since move-in isn't until mid-month? Our leases are "term leases", which means there is a set amount for occupying your room between specific dates.
