Individual Leasing, also called “by the bedroom leasing”, means that you are only responsible for your bedroom, bathroom, and shared common area. If another roommate decides to skip, sublet/lease-takeover, or damage the apartment in any way they are liable for the rent and damages in their individual space, unlike in joint leases.
A guarantor is an individual that signs a lease agreement along with a renter promising to uphold the lease agreement in the event a renter defaults on their financial obligations. The guarantor can be a parent, spouse, extended family member, or a friend but will need to be in good financial standing and pass all necessary screenings.
If you do not meet the qualifying criteria when applying individually (proving you make 2 times the monthly rent) or fail to pass our background and credit check then you will need a guarantor or to pay the entire lease term up front.
If you are not a student and do not qualify individually or have a guarantor to sign with, we’ve partnered with Leap, a lease guaranty service, to offer an additional way to qualify. Visit LeapEasy.com to learn more!
If you are a student, you can enroll in our Guarantor Waiver Program through your online application.

Utilities will be added to your Cabana Beach payment account from our third party utility management company Conservice.

The Green Fee is a small additional charge that ensures all appliances and certain utilities are running as efficiently as possible to keep the monthly cost at a minimum. The benefit to residents is not only a set cost each month but unlimited batteries, lightbulbs, and AC Filter replacements.
