FAQs
Interested in our apartments for rent near Stephen F. Austin State University? Our frequently asked questions guide provides relevant leasing information and important details on our community’s resident perks.
What Does Individual Leasing Mean?
Each resident signs their own lease for their specific bedroom. So, if a roommate moves out, the other residents are not responsible for that person’s rent. Please note that common areas are shared spaces.
What Are Rental Installments? Why Is My Rent Not Prorated
A rental installment is a payment made as part of a series of payments. To simplify the billing process, the entire sum of the housing contract is divided into equal installments. Instead of reducing the first installment and increasing the remaining installments, all installments are equal. These installments are factored into the start and end dates of the lease, including proration.
How Do I Pay My Rent And When Is It Due?
Rent is due the first of each month and may be paid online by ACH, debit, or credit card through the resident portal or by check or money order at the leasing office. No cash accepted. Convenience fees may be charged for online payments. Late fees vary by property. Refer to your Housing Contract for more information.

Do you offer credit-building opportunities for residents?
Yes! Our Rent Reporting program allows residents to build their credit by reporting on-time rent payments to major credit bureaus. It’s a “positive-only” system, so late or missed payments won’t impact credit scores. Residents are automatically enrolled but can opt out or opt back in at any time.
