    Roommates Disclosure

  • Each roommate must be approved individually and be listed on the rental agreement.

  • Each roommate is responsible for making sure the rent is paid in full to avoid legal action and/or eviction.

  • If Witham Hill Oaks deems legal action necessary, all roommates may be listed in the complaint.

    • Roommate Security Deposit Disclosure

  • A security deposit will be required if a roommate applicant does not meet the rental requirements.

  • If one roommate vacates before the other, the security deposit will stay with the apartment until the apartment is vacated

    • Roommate Vacating Policy

  • All roommates must sign a minimum of a 30-day notice prior to vacating and inform Witham Hill Oaks they are a roommate when giving notice to vacate.

  • In the event one roommate is vacating before any others, a signature of acknowledgement of the remaining roommate(s) is required. Failure to provide written acknowledgement from the roommate(s) will result in the extension of the 30-day notice by four(4) days to accomodate mail notification for the remaining roommates.

  • It is suggested that a, "buy out agreement," is made between roommates when a security deposit has been paid and one of the roommates is vacating before the other roommate(s). Witham Hill Oaks is not responsible for determining how or by whom damages occur. All damages will be subtracted from the security deposit first, and any remaining charges billed to the remaining occupants. If the responsible party pays for the damages, no other roommate will be charged or have those damages reposted in future rental references.
