Rental Policy
Off Campus Housing
All the apartments, with the exception of the 222 Beal Street and Magnolia Houses, have a $300 security deposit (per apartment) and $75 non-refundable application fee (per person). Once an actual apartment has been picked out, an earnest money fee of $500 (per apartment), along with your completed application(s) and application fee, is required to reserve an apartment. If your application is approved a lease agreement is signed within five (5) days. When the lease is signed, the $500 earnest money fee will be applied to the first rental payment. The balance of the first rental payment is due when the lease is signed. If your application is denied, the $500 earnest money fee will be returned. If your application is approved, but you change your mind, the $500 earnest money fee is relinquished and non-refundable. All approved applicants must sign a lease agreement with Prime Housing Group within five (5) days of their application date or the entire earnest money fee is forfeited and the apartment is re-rented. All apartments have a $300 security deposit. The security deposit for fall leases is due May 1st. The security deposit for spring leases is due March 1st.
