​Yes, we offer roommate matching to help you find a compatible roommate. Preferences such as lifestyle, study habits, and sleep schedules are taken into account to ensure a comfortable living arrangement.

​An individual lease, also known as a by-the-bedroom lease, means you are only responsible for the rent of your bedroom. Unlike joint leases, you are not liable for any unpaid rent owed by your roommates. 

​A lease installment is a fixed monthly payment that covers your total lease amount, divided evenly across 12 months. Rent is not prorated based on your move-in or move-out date. This structure makes it easier to plan and budget, as you pay the same amount each month regardless of your move-in timing.

​​Our company requires that all residents have $100k liability coverage. For your convenience, we offer a plan to fulfill this requirement. The cost for this plan is $17 per person per month (through 2026).  You may waive this coverage if you already have liability insurance through another provider however, you must submit a copy of your policy for review so we can ensure it meets our property requirements.  Opting out of plan coverage and submission of an alternative policy must be done within our portal https://portal.confirminsurance.com/s/.

We also offer Personal Contents Coverage (PCON) for $5.50 per person per month (through 2026).  Though this is not mandatory, if you would like to waive this coverage you must opt out of the plan within our portal https://hra.confirminsurance.com/ppp-opt-out.

The RV Index is a risk score based on several factors. It is an innovative move in qualifying criteria used to screen and qualify applicants and guarantors.  By using this inclusive index, as opposed to our prior practice, we take a step toward future industry standards of fair practice. Depending on your property, an RV index of 40 or 50 will need to be achieved. Instead of just credit score and income, the index looks at several factors such as:
 
1. Payment history on all trade lines
2. Ratio of rent to income
3. Ratio of debt to income
4. Collections
5. Ratio of positive to negative credit lines
