Lease Terms
and Policies
Leases generally start in mid-August and end in late July, aligned with the LSU academic calendar. We offer 12-month leases only.
No. We do not offer short-term or summer leases.
We do not set designated quiet hours. Residents are expected to avoid excessive or unreasonable noise and to be considerate of their neighbors at all times.
No. Smoking and vaping are not allowed anywhere on the property, and violations carry fines.
Yes. Each resident can bring up to two guests, and guests must stay with their host at all times. Our team checks names and apartment numbers and will ask anyone without a host to leave.
Yes. We allow up to two pets per apartment, with a one-time fee of $350 and pet rent of $35 per month.
Renewals begin in mid to late September. Leases do not renew automatically, so if you do not renew before your space is leased to someone else, you would need to transfer to another apartment if one is available. If you choose not to renew at all, you move out when your lease ends.
