Thinking about an individual bedroom lease?
Pros:
• You’re typically not on the hook if a roommate stops paying or moves out
• The leasing office (not you) finds a replacement for an empty room
• Many student properties are already furnished
Keep in mind:
• You’re still responsible for shared spaces
• Management chooses the other roommates (fair housing rules apply)
• Individual bedroom leases are often more expensive than splitting a joint lease
Joint leases usually cost less per person and let you pick your roommates — but everyone is legally responsible for the full rent.
