LEASE RENEWAL

Each spring Housing and Food Services provides University Village residents the opportunity to renew their leases. In March, you will receive a survey from the apartment manager asking about your intentions for the summer and for the following academic year. Please read this information closely and do not hesitate to contact the apartment manager if you have questions.

LEASE TERMINATION

 

There are several reasons why a University Apartments lease might be terminated. Here are a few examples:

· Term of lease expires and tenant does not wish to remain.

· Graduation from the University.

· Emergency situation.

· Violation of lease agreement by the tenant.

Terminating Your Lease Early When You Have A Roommate

Tenants who wish to move out of their apartments before or without their roommates will need to follow the procedure below.

 

• Turn in your 30-day prior written notice.
• Have your roommate choose to either release or not release you. He or she will need to show identification when turning this form into the manager’s office.

 

If your roommate chooses not to release you, you will continue to be responsible for your portion of the rent until the lease ending date. If your roommate chooses to release you, you are not responsible for any further charges as of the effective release date. Your roommate must pay your portion of the rent or find another person to replace you. 

 

Early Lease Termination

You may request to terminate the lease before the end of the specified terms, but the granting or denial shall rest within the sole discretion of the University. Please refer to Section 6, “Termination,” in your lease agreement.

 

If you leave before your lease ends you must continue to pay rent through the approved vacate date or until the apartment has been rented. It is your responsibility to make sure you have followed all of the proper steps in vacating. If your apartment is damaged your deposit will be applied to those charges.

 

Subletting Apartments

You are not allowed to sublet any portion of your apartment or your lease will be terminated as detailed in Section 5e.

Cohabitation

Allowing persons not listed on the lease to reside in the apartment for more than 3 consecutive days or more than 6 days out of any month constitutes a violation of the lease contract. Residents found violating this policy will be subject to eviction.

Operating A Business From Your Apartment

Operating a business from University-owned housing is in violation of the lease, and is cause for termination as detailed in Section 5h of the lease.

 

In most situations; however, University Village tenants are required to give 30 days prior written notice to the apartment manager when planning to vacate their apartment (as indicated in Section 11 of the lease agreement). Failure to give proper notice could result in the tenant being charged additional rent or other fees, as appropriate.
