Looking To Reassign Your Contract?
Getting Started
Follow these simple steps to begin the process of reassigning your housing contract to another person.
- Locate a potential candidate. You are responsible for finding someone to take over your contract.
- Inform the Leasing Office that you want to reassign your contract, and the Assignment Intent Form and Reassignment Fee will be added to your Resident Portal.
- Have the incoming resident apply. The individual taking over your contract must be approved and take possession of the apartment before your reassignment is completed.
Verification
Once the incoming resident is approved in our system, the following steps will need to be verified before we can facilitate your reassignment:
- You must have a current balance of $0.
- All forms and fees are submitted and paid.
- You must turn in keys and an inspection of your unit completed by our office. Please note, you will need to coordinate with the incoming resident your expected move-out date. Our office will need 48 hours to process your move-out, which would prevent the incoming resident from moving in any time within the 48-hour window.
Prior to the incoming resident moving in, they will need the following items verified before we can issue keys:
- All fees paid, including first installment.
- Verified proof of insurance or enrolled in Landmark Liability Insurance.
- Acknowledge the 48-hour window before picking up keys.
- Must Complete a Pet Screening Profile.
Please Note: Due to reassignments, we will send Wi-Fi credentials upon move-in.
