Frequently Asked Questions
Browse our frequently asked questions below.
WHAT IS AN INDIVIDUAL LEASE?
An individual lease is a per-bed lease. You sign a lease for a bed in the apartment and share common areas with roommates. This means you are only responsible for your installment. This allows you to live with roommates without having to worry about whether they’re going to pay on time.
WHAT IS AN INSTALLMENT?
Your contract is based on a total amount that is divided into 12 equal installments for convenience. Because of this, your first and last month’s rent are not prorated.
WHEN IS MY INSTALLMENT DUE? HOW DO I PAY FOR MY INSTALLMENT?
Installments are due by the 1st of each month. You can pay this through your resident portal with a debit/credit card or e-check. You can also bring in or mail a check or money order to the leasing office.
WHAT IF I NEED TO BREAK MY LEASE OR PLAN TO GO HOME FOR THE SUMMER?
All leases are 12-month installments. If you need to get out of your lease early, you can relet your unit by finding somebody to take over the remainder of your lease. Please contact the front office to discuss in detail. A relet fee may apply.
WHAT IS A GUARANTOR? IS A GUARANTOR REQUIRED?
A guarantor is a co-signer for your lease agreement and allows us to qualify you for your lease based on their income. A resident can act as their own guarantor for a one-time fee of $750 if they can show documentation as outlined in the lease agreement that they have income greater than three times the rental installment.
WHY DO YOU NEED MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER?
We need your Social Security number to run a standard criminal background check.
DO YOU OFFER ROOMMATE MATCHING IF I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE TO FILL MY APARTMENT?
Yes. Roommate matching is available if you are not able to fill your unit.
IS RENTER’S INSURANCE REQUIRED? DO YOU PROVIDE RENTER’S INSURANCE?
Renter’s insurance is required for all residents at the property. Residents are able to enroll in the Sentosa Trust Liability Insurance Program which covers fire, smoke, falling objects and water damage for $13.99 per month. While residents may obtain their own insurance as well, they will be automatically enrolled in the program if they fail to provide their own.
DO YOU HAVE MAINTENANCE STAFF? HOW DO I REQUEST MAINTENANCE?
Our on-site maintenance team will be available to address any maintenance concerns you may have. You can submit a maintenance request through your resident portal or call our on-site leasing office.
