LEASES AND AVAILABILITY

What is the application process?
In order to secure an apartment, you will need to submit an application and proof of income. We require 2x the monthly rent and we accept guarantors at 3x the monthly rent. We run a credit & criminal background check on all applicants and guarantors. Once your application is submitted, it takes about 48 hours to be approved or denied.
When should I apply if I want to move in for August?

For August move-ins across the majority our portfolio, we recommend reaching out starting in late April/early May.

However, for Broadway Apartments, 2019 Grove St., and Creekside Apartments specifically, these properties pre-lease exclusively for August start dates, starting in November of the prior year and are typically fully leased by February

Do you offer any move-in specials or concessions?
We periodically offer specials at select communities. Availability varies by property and season — contact us directly to ask about current offers.
How long are your leases?
All leases are 12-month terms. Most leases expire at the end of July, though some end in May or June. Leases auto-renew unless a 60-day notice is submitted before the end of the term. Boardwalk provides residents with 60 days’ notice of any rent increases, as required by law.
What is pre-leasing?
We pre-lease several of our student apartments (Broadway Apartments, 2019 Grove St., and Creekside Apartments ) beginning in November for the following school year. During this time, we may show your units to prospective units with a reasonable notice ahead of time.
How do I give notice to move out?
A written 60-day notice is required before the end of your lease. We send a renewal notice 90 days in advance. If notice is not submitted within that window, your unit will go back on the market at the end of your lease. Please reach out to our office for questions.
