Frequently Asked Questions
What does Individual Leasing mean?
Unlike some apartment communities in Charlotte, we offer individual leasing for added peace of mind. Individual leasing means students are only responsible for their monthly installment payments, not those of their roommates. Contact us to learn more about our individual leasing.
What are rental installments?
A rental installment is a convenient payment plan that divides the total cost of your lease into 12 equal monthly payments. This means you’ll make manageable, predictable payments each month, making it easier to budget and focus on your studies. If you have any questions about how rental installments work, please contact our leasing office.
