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 term begins mid-August and ends July 31st of the following year.
What should I do if I need to break my lease?
In the event that your plans change, Aspire may be able to assist with finding a replacement depending upon availability at the community. Per the lease contract, you will be required to find someone to take over the remaining days and financial obligation left on your lease until an acceptable replacement is found. Once the new tenant moves into your space, there will be a $200 re-letting fee charged to your account.
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 interested can apply free of charge on their website: www.theguarantors.com/renters.
