What if my roommate does not pay their portion of rent?
Our leases are joint and several, meaning that all lease holders and parental guarantors are jointly liable for rent and all other obligations under the lease. We allow lease holders to pay rent separately. We reach out to the specific tenant(s) who owes and their parental guarantor(s) first to collect unpaid rent. A parental guarantee form is required for all tenants who lack independent financial means. -
