How can we help?
Leasing
Are you currently leasing?
Yes! All phases are now actively leasing and you can start the process by applying online.
What is an individual lease?
An individual lease provides each resident with their own separate lease agreement and responsibility for only his/her rental installments and parking charges. By signing an individual lease, you are only taking responsibility for your rental installments and lease terms and will not be held liable for any delinquent amounts owed by your roommate(s). The individual lease agreements protects you in the event your roommates cannot make their payments, or if they leave their lease agreement early.
How long is the lease agreement?
The length of the lease varies based on which term you choose. The annual term will start mid-August and end July 25, 2024.
What should I do if I need to break my lease?
At this time, Northside, Northside 2, Northside 4 and Northside Plus do not offer an option to buy-out the lease. Per the lease contract, you will be required to find someone to take over the remaining days and financial obligation left on your lease. Once the new tenant moves into your space, there will be a $500 relet fee charged to your account.
How do I know if I qualify?
Future residents can qualify on their own or with a guarantor. If the resident cannot qualify on their own or find a Guarantor, we have partnered with The Guarantors to provide an alternative solution. Prospects who are interested can apply free of charge on their website: www.theguarantors.com/renters.

Roommates
How does the roommate placement program work (individual leases only)?
If you’re applying to one of our private bedroom floorplans, the application offers an exclusive roommate-placement service. If you would like to participate, you can complete the roommate placement form built into your application. The form allows you to make notes of any friends applying at Northside that you would like to live with. Please ensure you provide the same name being used on your roommate's application to ensure your request is processed in a timely manner. The form also asks you to input your hobbies, interests, sleep routines, pet preferences, and study habits. Inputting this information helps us match you with someone with similar interests, you’ll like living with throughout your lease term.
What if I don't like my roommate after move-in?
We do offer roommate mediation program through our LifeWorks Coordinator who is located in the Phase 2 Resident Services office. If there are differences between roommates that cannot be resolved, residents may be able to transfer as rooms are available. A transfer fee will apply. Please contact the community office for more information.
Renewing Your Lease
What is a renewal lease?
If you are already a resident, you do not have to reapply. Instead, you will complete a renewal lease that will renew your contract for the next term.
Am I guaranteed the same apartment when I renew my lease?
All renewal leases secure your same spot for the next lease term. However, your spot and apartment are not guaranteed unless you renew your lease. In addition, not all residents who renew are guaranteed the renewal rate, as only a certain % of each floor plan receives a concession. Renewing your lease as early as possible will guarantee your spot and also the best rate. Please call the leasing office with any questions regarding renewals.
How do I renew my lease?
- Login to the ResidentPortal and find your renewal offer located in the red banner at the top of the page.
