For your convenience, you can pay online via the property’s website (click on pay rent under the resident's section of our website) using a debit/credit card, set up an automatic withdrawal, e-check, or pay with a check or money order at the leasing office. No cash is accepted.
Q. Do I sign my own lease or with roommates?
Each resident is only responsible for the rent on his/her bedroom – this is referred to as “by the bed” leasing rather than a “joint & several” lease. So, if one resident moves out, the remaining roommates are not responsible for that roommate's rent.

Sometimes this happens. Great people sometimes can’t live together for whatever reason. We’ve got you covered. Residents are able to transfer, dependent on availability (a transfer fee may apply).

• call the office and speak with a campus crossings brightside team member or leave a message if your call is after the office is closed.

Q. What do I need to bring to my apartment?
You should contact your roommates prior to moving-in to coordinate the common area furnishings and items such as; televisions, sound systems, trash cans, plates, silverware, cups, pots & pans, etc. For your own bedroom and personal space, you will need to bring your bath and personal products; as well as a shower curtain & hooks, bath mats, towels, linens, pillows, and whatever else will help create your home away from home. Your new community's staff members are a great resource for planning your move – don't hesitate to call them with questions or simply to feel reassured about what you've already prepared. 
Q. Is there insurance coverage in the event of a fire, theft or natural causes? Does my lease provide coverage for my belongings?
Residents or guest's personal property and vehicles are not insured under the apartment lease agreement. We do require that all residents provide proof of insurance against loss or damage due to fire, theft, vandalism, rain, water, criminal negligent acts of others or any other cause. You can purchase a renter's insurance policy for a modest annual fee or your parent's homeowners policy may provide coverage. Of course, you may also obtain coverage through the property’s sponsored provider. Please ask the leasing office for more information.
