The local Internet provider can also supply these items.

Leasing for Fall 2012 has already started! It is important that all prospective residents reserve their space for Fall 2012 as soon as possible.

A sublease occurs when a resident will be away from the apartment lease term for a specific period of time (i.e. spring semester) and returning after that period of time. Releasing is when the resident will be leaving the area during the 12-month lease term and will not be returning (i.e. graduation at the end of spring semester). In either instance, it is the resident’s responsibility to locate a replacement resident. Once the replacement resident pays the application fee, assignment fee, completes all required leasing documentation and picks up keys from the office, the original resident is relieved of any and all obligations.

At The Reserve, each resident will sign an individual lease so that he/she will have sole responsibility for only his/her rent payment. This way, you will not be held responsible if a roommate is delinquent in his/her payments.

We encourage our residents to attempt to locate their own roommates, but we also offer an exceptional roommate matching service for those applicants who need assistance. Profile sheets listing informative data about unmatched roommates are kept on file in the leasing office to aid applicants in selecting roommates. Should a roommate not be located, roommates will be assigned through the matching process.
