The redecoration fee is intended to cover the costs associated with returning your apartment to “like new” condition, keeping normal wear and tear in mind, although you will be responsible for general cleaning of your apartment prior to vacating.

We will try our best to help you with a roommate(s) that meets your needs. In order for us to find the most suitable roommate(s) available in our network, we ask that you contact the leasing office and request a roommate matching form. Once complete, a leasing specialist will review your answers and place you with the most suitable roommates based upon your selected profile. Our social media is another excellent way to meet possible roommates!

If you have signed an individual term lease we can indeed help match you with a roommate. However, Collegiate Communities can’t guarantee that all preferences can be met. If a conflict does arise please contact the leasing office and we will see if we can do anything for you. However, Collegiate Communities is not responsible or liable for any claims, damages, or actions of any nature whatsoever relating to, arising out of or connected with disputes between potential or selected roommates.

Individual leasing means peace of mind for both parents and students. An individual lease means you are only responsible for your student’s space, not the full apartment as a typical joint lease would be structured. Common areas are shared responsibility among all roommates (ie, living room, kitchen, etc.).

In order to finalize your lease documents you must qualify to reside with us. There are four ways to qualify:

Please contact our leasing office to discuss the various options for qualifying to reside at The Collegiate.

You may bring whatever furniture you wish with you. Only In our apartments we provide bedroom furniture (a full twin-size bed set and dresser). You have the option of utilizing this furniture when you sign your lease, or you can choose to not receive it. You will need to provide all of your own furniture in the common areas in the apartments. House residents are expected to provide and use their own furniture.
