Frequently Asked Questions

Leasing Requirements

Applicants typically meet the following minimum leasing requirements:

Note: Those without sufficient income or good credit should have a co-signer who can meet the basic rental requirements.  All tenants are required to provide current proof of renter’s insurance for the duration of their lease and provide their own linens & pillows.

How many people per room?

One person per room only, no exceptions. This is to ensure a quiet environment and to avoid overcrowding bathrooms. 

Are bathrooms shared? 

Yes.  There are four (4) full-size bathrooms in the main house and one (1) in the ADU.

Can I rent month by month?

No, all leases are fixed term with a beginning and ending date.  Usually the first term is a trial period of 3 months for you to see if you like the room and for the landlord to see whether you follow house rules. Please see below for more details on rental extensions.

If I need longer than my lease, can I extend it?

We take all lease extensions on a case-by-case basis. To qualify for a rental extension, the tenant must have a good payment history and be in compliance with house rules. All requests for extensions must be submitted in writing 45 days before the end of your current term.

Who is responsible for cleaning?

Landlord provides professional cleaning of bathrooms and kitchens a few times each month in order to keep a high standard.

However, each tenant is required to maintain cleanliness at all times (ie after each use of bathroom or kitchen).  In addition, tenants are expected to keep their rooms clean and orderly.  

All tenants are provided with a copy of Tenant Handbook prior to signing their lease.

Do you have a "quiet hours" policy?

If you are in search of a party or frat-type house, this building is not for you.

Our Quiet Hours Policy, as mandated by local law,  requires tenants & their guests, to contain noise inside their room between the hours of 10pm and 8am daily. This policy is enforced by our management team.
