You can list your preferred roommates, location preferences, and apartment add-ons during the application. Please note that specific requests are subject to availability and compatibility.
Do you offer roommate matching?
Our application includes roommate preference questions to help ensure you're matched with someone compatible and comfortable to live with.
What is a lease installment?
A lease installment is the fixed monthly rent payment for the duration of your lease. The total lease amount is divided into 12 equal installments, due on the 1st of each month. Rent is not prorated.
What is an individual lease?
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.
Do we need Renter’s insurance?
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.

What is an RV Index?
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 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
