Yes, the property does provide leases for family occupants with a child under the age of eighteen who resides with at least one parent, legal guardian, or another individual with legal custody of the child. Additionally, a designee of such a parent or legal guardian, with written permission, is also eligible. For family households with children, all household members aged eighteen or older must follow these guidelines: (A) complete an application, and (B) sign the lease as a Resident. In family households with children under the age of eighteen, it is permissible for at least two individuals to occupy a single bedroom. If a family household with children under eighteen requires additional occupants per bedroom, this may be considered on a case-by-case basis. The decision will be based on factors such as the bedroom and unit size, the age of the children, unit configuration, physical property limitations, and local occupancy codes. Should a child occupant reach eighteen during the lease term, the lease will be allowed to complete its current term, but any renewals will adhere to the occupancy policy as stated. Child occupants who are under twenty-four months old when the lease is signed will not be counted towards maximum occupancy under this policy. However, they will be considered for subsequent leases if they reach twenty-four months of age during the term of the lease. The Landlord reserves the right to lease any unoccupied bedroom(s). Families seeking more information about the application process for family households should contact the office directly, as this process differs from individual leasing, and not all required forms are available electronically.
