Am I able to sublease?
Yes, you do have the option to sublease with most of our residents marketing their home on Facebook and Craigslist. If you need marketing photos, please contact the office at (804) 257-9893. Please have the prospective subtenant apply online through our website. If they are approved, there is a $250 Sublease Fee per Sublease Agreement.
Once the Sublease Fee has been paid, we will send an official Sublease Agreement. Please note you, the vacating resident, will be removed from the lease and the subtenant will be added to the lease as an active leaseholder. This means the vacating resident will no longer be held responsible for the lease or property, however, this also means the vacating resident will forfeit the security deposit to the subtenant as the subtenant is now the new active leaseholder.
What if I need to break my lease?
You cannot break your lease, however, you may sublease.
Can I install a security system?
