FAQs
Application Process
Can I fill out an application online?
You can access the online application by clicking the “Apply Online” link at the top of every page.
Guarantor
Can I be my own guarantor?
A resident can act as their own guarantor if they can show documentation as outlined in the lease agreement that they have income greater than three times the rental installment.
What paperwork is required with a guarantor?
The guarantor will need to sign the guaranty agreement. If the resident is not of legal age to execute a contract, the guarantor will be required to sign both the lease and guaranty agreement.
When is a guarantor required?
All residents require a guarantor to complete the guaranty agreement.
Individual Leases
What is an individual lease?
An individual lease provides each resident with their own separate lease agreement and responsibility for only his/her rental installments and applicable utility and parking charges. By signing an individual lease, you are only taking responsibility for your rental installments and lease terms and will not be held liable for any delinquent amounts owed by your roommate(s).
Lease Term and Rental Installments
Do you send me a bill every month?
No, bills are not sent to residents each month, but you may see payment reminders posted around the property.
How can I make a payment?
We accept credit cards, debit cards and ACH payments online through our Resident Portal. We are unable to accept cash.
What is an installment?
The typical lease term is approximately 11.5 months of occupancy which coincides with the university’s academic calendar. The resident is charged a total rent amount for the contracted occupancy period. The lease agreement will reflect the total rent amount typically divided into 12 equal installments due August 1 - July 1. These installments do not represent a monthly rent amount and are not prorated.
When are the installments due?
Installments are due on the 1st of each month per the payment schedule outlined in the lease agreement.
Insurance Requirements
Are there insurance requirements for signing a lease at the community?
Yes! The community does require all residents to obtain a minimum coverage of $100,000 in Landlord Legal Liability insurance. There are 3 options below to comply with this lease requirement. *Renters insurance (a policy that protects an individual’s personal belongings) is highly recommended but not required.
Option 1: Automatically enroll in the ACC Master Liability Program offered via LeaseTrack. This program is $12.00 per monthly rental installment and you will be auto-enrolled in the program should you not choose Option 2 or 3 when requested closer to move-in time.
Option 2: Obtain the required liability insurance coverage via American Campus Communities’ preferred insurance partner LeaseTrack.
Option 3: Submit documentation of your own liability insurance showing the required minimum coverages to LeaseTrack when requested 30 days prior to your lease start date.

Am I allowed to request a specific unit?
You can list your preferences on your profile card and housing application and we will do our best to place you in the unit that fits those requests. All requests are served on a first-come, first-served basis and are taken in order based on the date your lease was received.
Can I request specific roommates?
Yes! You can search for and match with specific roommates in the RoomSync app. Change your mind? No problem! You can modify your matches if your preferences change up until the matching period close date.
