A guarantor is required for applicants who are both under 21 and a Traditional Student. A Traditional Student is under 25 and enrolled full-time as an undergraduate, directly from high school or within one year of it.
A Traditional Student under 21 may pay a double deposit instead of having a guarantor. A Traditional Student 21 or older with little income or credit may use a guarantor.
The guarantor will not be listed on the lease, but will sign a document stating we can contact them if there are problems, lease violations, or the rent becomes late. Often guarantors are parents, but they can be any adult over the age of 21 who is willing to apply and meets the application criteria.
