Looking To Reassign Your Contract?
Getting Started
Follow these simple steps to begin the process of reassigning your housing contract to another person.
- Locate a potential candidate. You will be responsible for locating the individual with whom you would like to take over your contract.
- Fully complete an Assignment Intent Form. You must sign an Assignment Intent Form before we can start the reassignment process. To receive this form, contact the leasing office and one of our managers will be able to generate this document to your Resident Portal for you to sign.
- Have the incoming resident apply. The individual who is taking over your contract must apply and be approved before your reassignment is completed.
- Pay the assignment fee. The Non-refundable assignment fee will need to be paid when completing your signature on the Assignment Intent Form. This fee can be paid in the office with a personal check or online through your Resident Portal using one of the approved payment methods.
Verification
Once the incoming resident is approved in our system, the following steps will need to be verified before we can facilitate your reassignment:
- You must have a current balance of $0.
- All forms and fees are submitted and paid.
- You must turn in keys before the new tenant moves in.
Please note you will need to coordinate with the incoming resident your expected move-out date. Our office will need the appropriate time to process your move-out, so please notify the office immediately when a move-out date has been decided upon. If the office is not given proper notice, it could prevent the incoming resident from moving in on the date communicated between the two parties.
New Tenant
Prior to the incoming resident moving in, they will need the following items verified before we can issue keys:
- All fees paid, including the first installment.
- Completed registration of SimpleBills account.
- Verified proof of insurance or enrolled in Landmark Liability Insurance.
Please Note: Due to reassignments, we will send Wi-Fi credentials later and will not be readily available upon move-in.
