    • All leases are 6 or 12 month leases and begin in January, June, July and in August. Contact us for Pricing and Availability. Leases may not be terminated early. Every lease is to be signed by a parent as Guarantor.
    • The Security Deposit [due before move in] is to cover damages, late fees, and non-performance. If you comply with the terms of the lease, it should be refunded to you in full at the end of the term. It is not the First or Last month rent.
