How To: ADD or REMOVE A ROOMMATE

The potential new roommate is to fill out an application and submit a $75 application fee.

This process replicates the one you underwent when you first applied for the apartment.

• Complete an application here
•  Pay the application fee here.

You must inform your Leasing Agent of the new roommate's name and intended move-in date.

• Your Agent will then process the incoming tenants application
• You will receive notification if any updates to the existing security deposit are necessary in the creation of the new lease, as the deposit on file must align with the current one-month rental rate.
• A new lease agreement will be prepared identifying the current tenant and the incoming tenant, along with the new lease start date reflecting the incoming tenant’s move-in date. A revised cover letter will also be issued outlining all updated charges, including any applicable adjustments to the security deposit.

• Please send an email to your leasing agent with all tenants cc'd on a single email.
• It is important to inform all tenants who will be removed and when they are leaving. All tenants will need to agree to the removal of this tenant from the lease in this email.
  • The remaining tenant(s) are required to meet the apartment rental criteria, which entails meeting the minimum or higher credit score requirement, or securing a guarantor if deemed necessary.
• Sign a Change In Lease Terms Agreement that details the changes.
  • Every tenant on the lease (including the one who is leaving) must sign the agreement. 

By signing the agreement, the remaining tenant(s) affirm their acceptance of sole responsibility for the lease and lease terms.

If the departing roommate has previously been responsible for any payments or obligations, the remaining roommates agree to assume those responsibilities. Before signing the modification agreement, it is advisable to ensure that all relevant arrangements have been satisfactorily addressed among the tenants.
