Why is there an application fee? We want to provide a safe and secure environment, and the $30 application fee goes towards running a background check on all the tenants who stay at Kappa Sigma over summer.
How can I make payments? Upon receiving your completed background check, you will be sent an invite to create a tenant portal with cozy.co, through which you can pay rent with a bank account/routing number.
Is there a security deposit? Yes, there is a $500 security deposit that is refunded at the end of summer minus damages. The deposit is due when you sign the lease.
When is rent payable? Rent is due on the 1st of the month, starting May 1st.
My job/internship starts before May 15th, can I move in before that date? If you would like to move in before the 15th please indicate as such in your application email and we’ll see what we can do. There also is a small amount of flexibility for tenants who would like to move out after August 24th.
How is rent prorated if I'm not staying for the full summer period? Tenants moving in May 15th-23rd will be charged for 1/2 of the first month's rent. May 24th until the end of the month is charged at 1/4 of the monthly rate. For move out, any lease extending in to August pay for 3/4 of the monthly rate in August. This is because it's very difficult to find tenants who move in for the last two weeks of summer.
