If you choose to pay in two semester installments, those installments are due August 1 and January 1. If you choose to pay in 12 installments, the first installment is due on August 1 and the remaining 11 installments are due on the 1st of the next 11 months.

Are leases for families with children available?
Yes. The property’s policy is included here for family occupants with a child(ren) under the age of 18 who is domiciled with at least one parent, legal guardian, or another person having legal custody of the child under the age of 18; or the designee of such parent or other person having such custody, with written permission of such parent or other person. For family households with children, all household members age 18 or older must complete an application, and sign the lease as a resident. For family households with children under the age of 18, at least two people will be permitted to occupy a single bedroom. If a family household with children under the age of 18 requires additional occupancy per bedroom, additional occupants may be allowed on a case-by-case basis based on factors including, but not limited to, the size of the bedroom(s) and unit, age of the children, configuration of the unit, any physical limitations of the property, and local occupancy codes. If the child occupant reaches 18 years of age during the term of the lease, the lease will be allowed to complete its term, but renewal will only be offered in compliance with the occupancy policy as stated. Child occupants who are under 24 months at the time the lease is signed will not be counted under the occupancy policy for purposes of maximum occupancy but will be counted for subsequent leases if they reach the age of 24 months during the term of the lease. The landlord has the right to lease any empty bedroom(s). Families should contact the office directly regarding the application for family households, as this process varies from individual leasing and the required forms are not all available electronically.
What if I don't have a guarantor?
No guarantor? No problem. Cadence offers Leap as an option! Leap is a quick and easy process that fills in for a guarantor or parent co-signer. Leap’s application is free online and takes around five minutes to complete. You will get a conditional decision within 30 minutes during normal business hours. Click here to apply, or contact the office for more information.
