Our leasing process is fairly simple and straightforward. We have found that the standard lease provided to us from the University of Michigan coupled with a short one page addendum is sufficient for our leases. By using the UofM lease, you can be sure that the lease is legal and concise. Our addendum is also designed to provide tips as to how we hope our properties will be cared for. We developed this addendum to help guide residents while living in our properties. It lays out rules that we feel are essential to ensuring a safe, damage-free lease term. Please refer to the links below to see both of the aforementioned forms.

One of the most common questions we get is concerning subleasing. All of our leases our 12 month leases and begin in either May or September. Sub-leasing is a common practice and is allowed at our properties with our written permission. We reserve the right to refuse a particular agreement if we feel it is in the best interest of us or the property. All sub-leases must be facilitated through the use of a sub-lease agreement and the exchange of a security deposit between the primary and sub tenants. We are happy to provide some guidance towards the successful completion of a sublet but all responsibilty for finding and signing a sub-tenant is the reponsibilty of the primary tenant. Below are links to the sub-lease agreement that is available from the UofM Off-campus Housing office as well as a sub-leasing guideline.
