Individual leases mean that each person signs their own lease agreement on their assigned bedroom, and the common area is shared amongst the roommates. Individual leases also mean that you will not be held responsible for unpaid rent by your roommates. If we happen to not fill up the apartment you will not have to pay extra rent, that bedroom door will simply be locked.

What happens if I cancel my lease?
