Individual leasing means peace of mind for both parents and

among all roommates (ie, living room, kitchen, etc.).
Our term lease structure is a lease that begins on a specified
date and ends on a specified date, for one fee. This fee is
conveniently administered in 12 installments (similar to a monthly
rent payment).
