Harvey Street Apartments

2007-08 Harvey Street Lease

Lease Terms

Leases are from June 1 to May 31, and are renewable. If there is an available space, new applicants may move in at any time during the year. In apartments with a single resident, leases may be terminated with 90 days written notice to the University Apartments Office.

In apartments with roommates, leases may be terminated with 90 days written notice to the University Apartments Office if both roommates agree. Click here to use our 90 Day Notice Calculator.

If both roommates wish to terminate their lease, both roommates must fill out the TERMINATION OF LEASE.

If one roommate wishes to move out, the roommate who will remain in the apartment must sign a ROOMMATE RELEASE FORM. A roommate may remain in that same apartment under their current lease by making arrangements with the Manager of Apartment Leases at the University Apartments Office.

If the roommate who will remain does NOT sign a ROOMMATE RELEASE FORM, both roommates will continue to be liable for the monthly rent.

If one roommate wishes to move out, it is highly recommended that they contact the Manager of Apartment Leasing to discuss the details of the process.

In order for a new roommate to move in, that roommate must apply to live in the apartment by filling out a ROOMMATE APPLICATION FORM. The form can either be faxed or mailed to the University Apartments Office:

FAX: 608-265-5302

Mail: Assignment Coordinator
University Apartments Office
611 Eagle Heights
Madison, WI 53703

If a resident has a new roommate move in, both the current resident and the new roommate will sign a new lease.

When you receive an apartment lease, you will need to sign and return it with a $300 deposit.

Should I sign the lease?

Please read through this checklist to determine if you should accept this offer and sign a lease with University Apartments.

• Are you able to commit to paying rent on the date your lease begins?
• Are you able to send a deposit ($300) at this time?
• Have you received your student visa (if applicable)?
• Has your academic department admitted you?
