Roommate Change Policy
Please note that roommate change requests are processed in 7-10 business days from the date they’re received. We’ll just need a few things from you in order to process your Roommate Change Application. Once you’ve completed the necessary documents, please scroll to the bottom of this page to submit them.
Highlights
If you are only removing people from your lease, a one-time Roommate Removal Fee of $50 will be applied to the apartment’s account.
If any roommates are being added to the lease, a non-refundable, one-time Roommate Change Fee of $300 will be applied to the apartment’s account. This fee, along with any other outstanding charges, must be paid prior to finalizing the Roommate Change.
If someone is moving out of the apartment lease mid-way it is the responsibility of the roommates to give the roommate who is leaving their portion of the security deposit and/or last month’s rent back to them.
Any charges which are applied to the apartment’s ledger after the roommate change is complete are the sole responsibility of the present (new) leaseholders. Outgoing roommates will not be held responsible for post-move-out charges like unpaid utility bills or parking charges.
Keys for the incoming roommate(s) are the responsibility of the current residents.
Roommate changes will not be approved within six months of another roommate change in the same unit.

The Roommate Change Process
NOTE: We will not run credit/criminal background checks until ALL necessary materials are submitted.
Roommate Change Fee will be charged to your account.
Applicant(s) will receive an email or phone call when their application is approved.
Upon approval a packet of Roommate Change documentation will be emailed to all roommates to be electronically signed by everyone.
Please do not forward DocuSign emails to other roommates. Everyone will receive a unique link for them to sign. If any roommate did not receive their email, please have them contact your Leasing Agent to ensure their email address is up-to-date in our system.
Once everyone has electronically signed the Roommate Change documentation you will receive a finalized copy in your email for your records.
