Off-campus Housing in Newark Delaware

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you lease by the bedroom or by the property?

We lease by the property only. What that means to our occupants is that everyone on the lease will be jointly liable for the lease.

When is the move in date?

The lease is an annual lease that runs from June thru May.

Can we sublease our house for the summer?

We do not allow subleasing, so you will be held responsible for those months.

Can we each send separate checks for our rental?

No. Our leases are group leases and therefore require one group check for rent payments.

What is the lease term?

The lease is for 1 year.

Do I get a late charge if my rent is not on time?

Yes. Example: If you are paying July’s rent please mail it so it gets to us by the 25th of June and no later than July 1.

Can I be released from my lease if my roommate and I do not get along?

Unfortunately you cannot be released from your lease with us for not liking your roommate.

Are the houses furnished?

Our places are not furnished. You will be moving into a clean, empty house. This is the way you should leave the house at the end of your lease.

What happens if my roommate does not pay their rent?

It is very important to know who you will be renting the house with. Since one check will be sent to us for rent payments you will have to appoint someone to collect all the other roommates checks and deposit them into your account and then write one check to us. This is one way you will be able to know if your roommates are keeping up with their rent payments. Remember, all are responsible for the other when renting as a group.

What if I have a maintenance request?

Should you have maintenance troubles please contact us immediately. You can call us at 302-598-2693 and we will handle the request in a timely manner. You can also text or email us and we will respond to the request.
