At The Griff, we lease by the bedroom. In an individual lease, you are only responsible for the payment of your bedroom space. All roommates will split shared utilities and be responsible jointly for the common areas.
We have a term lease that begins on a specific date and ends on a specific date for one fee. This fee is divided into 12 equal installments for your convenience.
The standard term is August 16 to July 31, with payments made in 12 equal installments. Limited alternate dates are available; please inquire with our staff.
Rent is paid online through your resident portal. You may set up re-occurring payments or make a one time payment with an e-check, credit, or debit card. Additionally, residents may set up automatic withdrawals from a checking or savings account through the Resident Portal. Please speak to your site manager if you have any questions.
Rent is due on the 1st of each month and is considered late if not received by close of business on the 3rd. If the rent is not paid by the 3rd a late fee will be added to your account.
We do not provide any lease break or buy-out options. However, residents might be able to relet the bedroom to a new resident, provided they meet the criteria and execute a lease agreement. Please contact your site manager with any questions.
