FAQs

  • What is a rent installment vs. monthly rent?

    Your lease contract values the rent as a sum due for the entirety of the contract (lease start to lease end date). That total is then split into 12 equal installments over the course of that term. Rent can be paid in one lump sum prior to moving in, or can be paid in the 12 equal installments at the beginning of each month of the contract.

  • Is insurance required?

    Personal Liability Insurance coverage of $100,000 is required for each resident. You may contract this policy through your provider of choice, or through our our partners at Multi Family Insurance Partners. (Learn more in the "Resources" section of this website.)

  • What is an individual lease?

    An individual lease is a per-bed lease. You sign a lease for a bed in the apartment and share common areas with roommates. This allows you to live with roommates without having to worry about whether they’re going to pay on time. You do have the option to lease out the enitre unit, should you choose to do so.

Rent Track

Waypoint Student Living has proudly partnered with RentTrack, offering the opportunity to build credit by adding your rent payments to your credit report. Our trusted partner RentTrack reports positive data on your rent payments to the credit bureaus to grow your credit score & more, all without changing anything about how you currently pay rent.

Rent Track

Lease Lock

Waypoint Student Living has proudly partnered with LeaseLock, an alternative option for financial approval at our communities. LeaseLock provides a service that would allow you to move into an apartment without having to pay the full lease rent upfront, there’s no additional security deposit, and it even allows you to bypass the guarantor process for your lease. Instead, LeaseLock collects a non-refundable monthly fee from you as an approved alternative for financial qualification.

Waypoint Student Living is excited to offer a Resident Rewards program called Community Rewards. This program invites you to follow our community on social media, provide feedback, suggestions, share photos of the community, and more all in return for points that add up to an electronic reward card to a place of your choice.
