Do I need renter’s insurance?

Cardinal Group Management requires $100,000 in liability insurance coverage for each resident. While residents are free to select any insurance vendor for the coverage, we have partnered with Multifamily Insurance Partners to offer the required liability insurance coverage to our residents at a very competitive rate. MFIP also offers optional renters insurance to cover residents’ personal possessions. For more information on the coverage available, visit MFIP’s website.

How do lease guarantors work?

All residents are required to have a guarantor for their lease to financially guarantee the lease obligations. The guarantor must meet minimum credit and income requirements and sign the guarantor addendum to the lease. In the event a student cannot provide a qualified guarantor, an additional security deposit will be required.

How does an installment lease work?

Our lease term is approximately 11.5 months coinciding with the university’s academic calendar, and the total rent for the year is based on that period of occupancy. For your convenience, the total balance of the lease is divided into 12 equal installments due at the first of each month. These installments do not represent a monthly rent amount and are not prorated.

Is there a professional support staff on site?

Cardinal Group Management operates more than 150 student housing communities around the country. Our size and experience aptly equip us with the people, resources, and power to run our communities at the highest quality standard. Within our on-site leasing office is a full-time team whose job is to facilitate the leasing process and manage the resident experience. Our service personnel are a dependable and hands-on team dedicated to routine property maintenance and after-hours emergency calls. Residents are encouraged to make requests for maintenance assistance through the convenient online resident portal, by phone, or in person at the leasing office. Many students also vie for positions as Community Interns at our communities. Nicknamed “CIs”, students in this coveted role help with leasing, resident events, and administrative tasks. They also serve as liaisons, providing genuine, consistent, and valuable feedback from the residents’ perspective.

How can I connect with roommates?

Everyone is looking for something different in a roommate situation. You and a group may have decided to find an apartment where you can live together. Or, you may be eager to make new friends and meet new roommates. We can happily accommodate both scenarios. Our unique roommate matching service aims to pair students with similar interests using our perceptive matching questionnaire. The goal is always to blend similar lifestyles and preferences and create fulfilling friendships among residents. While preferences are strongly considered, matching is based on availability and preferences cannot be guaranteed. We recommend prioritizing those items that are of greatest concern to you.

What is the advantage of an individual lease?

An individual lease provides each resident with your own separate lease agreement, with sole responsibility for only your own lease obligations. By signing an individual lease, you and your guarantor avoid the hassle of being responsible if a roommate can’t or doesn’t pay their rent.

What types of housing are available for students?

There are many options for students looking for housing, and the first choice to make is on-campus or off-campus.
